Superstitious codswallop.
I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

Looking at the examples from a link from within the article in the OP, I'd imagine these work as stand-alone art.

Agreed - and the book is published by a company well known for high-quality art books - or Books on Art for the pedantic!

This depends entirely upon the person being consulted.

Any reader worth their salt would not make any comment based upon their reading of the cards that would cause the 'Read To' any kind of discomfort or other negative reaction.

Aside from anything else, a bad result will result in a non-return and therefore loss of the reading fee - £2 - when I last consulted one.
