The needle type talking board does the same thing that an Ouija board does, a moving needle indicator is used in place of the planchette. The big needle, like a clock's hand, moves its pointer between different letters and numbers. The Tarot is a deck of 78 cards, divided by Major Arcana and Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana has 22 cards. Tarot cards are used for fortune telling.
