‘Tarot Ex Machina’ by Bob Farmer

“Ex Machina” means “from the machine,” and I’d like to think that Bob Farmer called it that because he knows. He knows that to crank out this many uses for a prop there’d have to be a machine involved. Bob Farmer is that machine.

My first introduction to Bob Farmer was his Tarodiction Toolbox, whereby my brain melted while working through his ternary sorting system. Tarot Ex Machina is an in-depth exploration of his gaffed deck of tarot cards.
