This children's adventure series features 'Tarot' - a magical entertainer, a combination of telepathic conjurer and escapologist. Tarot is assisted in his adventures by 'Sam' - a reformed ex-convict - and 'Lulli' - an orphan who, like Tarot, is telepathic. The series was billed as "A 20th-Century Robin Hood, with a pinch of Merlin and a dash of Houdini" |
 Sam (Tony Selby), Tarot (Michael MacKenzie) and 'Lullie' (Judy Loe) |
 Ozymandias (Fred the Owl) - Tarot's other companion |
