THE LEGENDARY ZAMMER TWINS
&
THE CURIOUS HISTORY of their WONDEROUS ORACLE
....................
Karl and Otto Zammer at the height of their illustrious career, 1767
..........
 ~HUMBLE BEGINNINGS~
..........
The Zammer Twins were born in 1745.
..........
Being conjoined, they caused quite a sensation in their hometown of Weissembourg, France, and instantly charmed everyone they met with their captivating personalities.
..........
..........
Even at a young age, they showed remarkable talents.
Karl Zammer was an intuitive artist, who taught himself to draw and later became a master engraver. He claimed that an Arc Angel whispered images into his mind which he realized through his hand. 
..........
Otto Zammer was born blind in his left eye and wore a patch. Whenever he removed the covering, he opened himself to otherworldly powers of clairvoyance and prediction. 
..........
Regardless of having two bodies, the Twins were united as a single soul and worked together as an indomitable team. They toured Europe's nobility; demonstrating their uncanny abilities in a spectacular magic act while becoming celebrities.
..........
~THE KING'S COMMISSION~
..........
In 1765, Frederick the Great of Prussia was so impressed by the Twin's supernatural genius that he commissioned them to create a deck of cards that he hoped would help in his military affairs. 
..........
For 3 years, the Twins worked diligently on the deck for the anxious King, but when it was completed they decided to keep it for themselves, as its power was too immense to simply give away, regardless of who it was for.
Feeling betrayed, the King ordered the disobedient Twins to be arrested and the deck seized.
..........
Unfortunately for him, the Twins nor the cards could be found.
..........
Once the most celebrated "Macaronies" of their day, the Zammer Twins soon became hunted outcasts.
..........
~ESCAPE & REINSTITUTION~
........
Unknown to King Frederick, the Twins fled deep into the French countryside and in later years into Paris. After the revolution, they became avid supporters of Napoleon Bonaparte and quickly made their way up society's hierarchy and into good fortune once again. Readings with the Zammer Oracle became all the rage at elegant dinner parties.
.........
It is even said that Emperor Napoleon himself secretly consulted the Twin's enigmatic Oracle to win several decisive victories in 1801.
..........
~RESURGENCE~
..........
During the early 1800s, word of the Zammer Twins and their magic act flourished once again across Europe. Soon, they were off to London to entertain an enthusiastic audience eager to witness their supernatural spectacle in person.
...........
Although they were aging, their abilities never stopped improving. They dazzled lords and ladies with supernatural feats, mind reading, and divination with their legendary oracle.
.........
~DOWNFALL~
.......
Gilbert Tate, a contemporary magician in London, despised the success of the Zammers and regarded them as trespassers in his territory. A terrible rivalry followed.
.........
Making matters worse was that both the twins and Tate fell in love with the same woman, Daphne Webb. Affectionately known as "Deetzy", she was originally Tate's assistant, but was enticed over into the Zammer act by the twin's charm.
.........
In 1808, the animosity between Tate and the Twins reached a tragic climax. Tate flew into a fit of rage after the Zammers publicly exposed him as a charlatan, vowing to serve brutal revenge for destroying his career.
............
..........
Otto Zammer was clairvoyant and able to see into the future, but he was only able to do so during a full moon. Little did the twins know that the candies and cakes they liked to indulge in were slowly being poisoned by Tate.
..........
The Twins took seriously ill and were bedridden in their quarters. By the time Otto discovered the reason through a lunar vision, it was too late to alter their inevitable fate.
..........
Unfortunately, Otto's vision also revealed that Daphne was the one planting the poison in the sweets on Tates behalf.
.......
Heartbroken, gray, and weakened by sickness, Karl and Otto devised a diabolical act of retribution. It would be a Grand Finale like no other.
....................
~DOUBLE VENGENCE~
........................
Casting a hypnotic spell over Daphne, the Twins command her to ambush Tate in his home. Daphne approaches Tate on a staircase and plunges a knife into his chest. The impact of the blow immediately wakes her from the trace. Terrified and confused, she runs wildly into the street where she is run over by a speeding horse and wagon.
............
~AFTERMATH~
...........
Together in Eternity as on Earth.
Karl and Otto Zammer passed into the afterlife on December 31st, 1808.
They were interred in the Graveyard of the Trinity Congregational Chapel, London.
......
Sadly, their incredible story slipped into obscurity and was forgotten by most.
.......
Until now, the Zammer Twin's Oracle was believed lost to history, but this was not the case! The enigmatic deck passed through the hands of several owners over the last 200 years.
