'Mana' is believed to be the essence of which magic is formed. In several cultures, Mana is believed to be an energy or a power considered to have supernatural origins - an impersonal force existing in both living and inanimate things. And so, to have Mana is to have influence and authority, and efficacy - "...the power to perform in a given situation..." The Mana Deck represents power in your hands.
Version 1 of the Mana Deck is called The Oracle Edition. The 'Oracle' represents several meanings to this deck of cards. An oracle is considered to be a source of wise counsel commonly sought out for divination and precognition, which in essence, honors the modern day mentalist. Moreover, in Greek culture oracles were known by another name... Sibyl (or Sybil), in light of this, the Mana Deck honors one of cardistry's most utilized and most fundamental cuts that is a staple in every cardist's repertoire - The Sybil Cut. The Mana Deck 'Oracle' naturally pays homage to the 3 art forms - magic, mentalism and cardistry.
