Christmas Presence (Performers Edition) by Strange Stage

Introducing Christmas Presence — The Spirits of All Three

'This is the closest thing to real magic I’ve ever created.' Chris Mallon

From the moment your sitter opens the green velvet bag, they are transported, not just to Christmas Past, but to their past. Within the pages of Dickens’ ghost story lies a complete system for meaningful, accurate readings that feel authentic, personal, and impossible.

Thanks to a beautifully simple technique shared (with generous permission) by Michael Wilson, you’ll be able to give confident, insightful readings within minutes. This single method changed everything for me, and it will do the same for you.

A Book Worthy of the Story

Created in collaboration with Haresign Press, the book has been produced with obsessive attention to detail. The cloth, the brasses, the gold and blind embossing, the gilt edges, every element has been chosen to look and feel truly original. I genuinely believe this is the closest anyone has come to a faithful early edition. Each copy is printed on the very same machine used for the first editions of a certain boy wizard, albeit with a few unorthodox adjustments made in pursuit of authenticity.

More Than a Book Test

Hidden within the pages are the 22 Major Arcana, in fact, they appear twice, allowing you to perform readings “face up” or “face down” like a true oracle. The book also includes a new method for ‘locking’ the pages, subtle hits you can reveal at will, and an expanded cold reading framework designed for real-world performance.

Christmas Presence can be performed for a group or used one-on-one exactly as you would use a deck of Tarot cards. It’s more than a reading. More than a book test. It’s an oracle you’ll honour in your heart and perform it all the year!

What You Receive

It is said that Christmas is a feeling. Not a date or a tradition, but something far more elusive.
