Ace of Wands was a fantasy-based British children's television show on ITV between 1970 and 1972, created by Trevor Preston and Pamela Lonsdale and produced by Thames Television.

The title, taken from the name of a Tarot card describes the principal character, called "Tarot" (played by Michael Mackenzie) who combined stage magic with supernatural powers. Tarot had a pet Owl named Ozymandias who was played by Fred The Owl.

Ace of Wands ran for two seasons of thirteen episodes and a third season of twenty. Many, if not all, of the first 26 episodes are believed to have been wiped, although the final season is intact.

In the first two series Tarot was assisted by Sam Maxstead (Tony Selby), a reformed convict and Lillian Palmer known by her nickname, Lulli (Judy Loe) who was an orphan. Lulli shared a telepathic link with Tarot which enabled them to communicate over great distances.

After they had to leave because of prior commitments, in the final series this pair were replaced by brother and sister Chas (Roy Holder) a photographer and Mikki (Petra Markham) a female journalist who played very similar roles, she also sharing a telepathic link with Tarot.

A character named Mr Sweet (Donald Layne-Smith) who ran an antiquarian book shop often had the answer to Tarot's questions. Sweet was based in a university for the last series.

A DVD of all existing episodes has been released by Network UK in July 2007 and features a new documentary in 3 parts by Classic TV enthuisiasts and experts Andrew Pixley and Simon Coward.

The theme music, "Tarot" was written and performed by Andy Bown (now with Status Quo). It was available at the time as a single.
