I've just recently been getting into doing readings with playing cards. I've been into tarot for years, but playing cards never much had my interest until recently. But I've got a question for those of you who are more experienced at this than myself. Has anyone tried to do readings with novelty playing cards?
Looking around the web, I've found a few sites that sell playing cards, and a number of them are unusual, or highly illustrated, etc. There's some really beautiful things out there, as well as some pretty wacky things, too. Would they work for readings? Or do the playing cards used for readings have to be traditional?
There's come really interesting, and crazy, things on this site:

And there's some nice things here worth looking at:

Would these cards work for divination? It does seem a little weird, I admit, to use a deck of cards shaped like Coca-Cola bottles. Or with cards that have pictures of Jimi Hendrix on them. Would they work?
Opinions?
