Ace of Wands - Season 3

Tarot meets up with Chas and Mikki, a brother and sister, who live in a studio over an old London street market. Chas is a photographer, and Mikki a freelance journalist. Mikki is worried about a series of inexplicable accidents in the market, although Chas is inclined to laugh the whole thing off..

Tarot begins to put together the pieces that make up the mysterious happenings in the street-market. Why are Spoon and the other musicians always around, even when the market is closed? Is Mockers, the "prophet of dooom", in league with them? And what is the role of Mr Dove, watching over the market through binoculars from his tower-block office?

Tarot's exhibition of his magic powers in Madge's shop has ended in the smashing of a shelf of china - but Tarot was not the cause.Is there really a curse on the market? Meanwhile, Chas has gone off on his own to investigate the warehouse where Tarot's car was found.

Tarot and Mikki have the same dream - a dream about ancient Egypt. It leads Mikki to have an encounter with a medium, John Pentacle, and Tarot to endanger his life.

Will the voice of Atep, which has influenced both Mikki at the seance and Mr Sweet in his room at the University, affect Tarot as he rehearses his escapology? And is there some connection with Tarot's former stage partner, Quabal?

Chas thinks that he has been attacked - by Tarot! And Ozzie the owl has been behaving strangely. Tarot has decided that he will only discover the secret of the power of Atep - and the part played by his former stage partner, Quabal - by going to Egypt. This week Tarot and company meet up with the man who discovered Atep's tomb, Fergus Wilson.

Tarot, Chas and Mikki have visited Atep's tomb, near the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. And Mikki has been presented by an Arab boy with a statuette from the tomb, which seems to have strange powers.

Tarot and Chas have gone to inspect a derelict house - where the security men had, for no reason they could explain, left the money which should have been delivered to the bank. Suddenly Chas finds himself in a room with no door, and Tarot is standing on a high building from which there is no way down. The mysterious Mr. Peacock observes them quietly.

Chas has decided to go it alone, and has found his way to the mysterious Mr Peacock's lodgings. But after a demonstration of Mr Peacock's powers, he finds himself a prisoner.Tarot and Mikki are about to do their mind-reading act at a smart West End restaurant - they wonder what has happened to Chas, but, as Mikki says, "he's old enough to take care of himself".

One of Mr Sweet's colleagues at the University disappears, and the trail leads Tarot and his friends to a dolls' hospital run by the eccentric 'Mama Doc'.
