A compact deck of playing cards featuring the portrait of Alex we use in our publicity. This is a self-portrait made by Alex himself using a self-timer on a camera in the late '80s.

Alex had his own unique way of understanding the world through many forms of astrology and numerology. The first question he asked whenever he met someone: "what day were you born?". One of the more obscure systems he studied and memorized is from a book called "Secret Signs of the Ancients" that matches all birthdays with corresponding cards from the standard 52 card deck. His remarkable memory of the details and patterns within these systems seemed to give him clear and instant readings that he relied on in his views of people in the world.
