Phone readings have worked pretty well for me. I get the person to take three deep breaths with me at the start. Then they either pick a number and I cut my deck, or they shuffle their own cards while I do the same spread.
Someone in this thread mentioned reading Pages as messages or beginner energy instead of young people. Works great over the phone. Same with Queens - I read Queen of Pentacles as someone being resourceful or nurturing rather than trying to guess if they’re talking about their mom or daughter.
