The Magician
The Magician depicts a crafty performer who dazzles onlookers with tricks and illusions while masking an insecure foundation. The unstable 3-legged table suggests his skills are not fully grounded, and he literally uses his own legs of flesh to prop up his confidence and continue the grand performance. Upright, the card indicates developing skills, exploration of unique abilities, manifestation, and resourcefulness. Reversed, it warns of wasted potential, manipulation, shortcuts, and fraud, urging caution about motives and methods.

Visual Description
A masked, long-beaked figure in a red, star-patterned cloak stands behind a wooden table, one hand manipulating three golden cups while the other holds a wand that emits concentric circles. Two blue theatrical masks are attached to the cloak and a moon and scattered stars decorate the background. On the table lie coins, a bloodstained dagger, a spilled drop of blood, and a few teeth, while playing cards rest on the grassy ground beneath the table and the Roman numeral I appears above the figure.
