Which spread is this?

Chevaune

Hi all,

I've been noseying on psychic-tv channel on sky this weekend to get an idea of how the pro's do a reading, and I have been finding that some of the readers on there do this strange spread.

They do like four cards first and say like a couple of summary sentences about this row, then they place another 3-4 cards on top and again another couple of summary sentences and then a final row of of 3-4 cards on top again for i think an outcome.

I think it may be based on a past present future, but I Would be intersted to know how they do it and especially say whats going on in so few words.

Does anyone else do readings like this? How effectve do you find them?

Thanks
