Tarot cards can vary in size from the miniature decks to cards bigger than your hand. They may be round, oval, square or the more common rectangular.
The only important thing about a tarot deck's make-up is that it is of a size and shape that allows it to be shuffled, and laid-out comfortably for reading.
When was the Universal Tarot deck invented?
There's a lot of debate over the answer to this question. While some say that there is a connection to the ancient Egyptian Book of Thoth, there isn't any proof of these claims. The earliest known Tarot decks date back to late 15th century Italy. The "modern" Tarot deck is 17th century French, and it's English language cousin is early 20th century. The English language version saw a few notable changes in the major arcana like the removal of "The Pope" card (replaced by the Hierophant). The Rider-Waite deck is the most common of the English language tarot cards and was drawn by Pamela Coleman Smith in 1909 (published in 1910). If you look hard enough you can find original 1910 versions on eBay. There's an excellent (free) online tarot reading available at ifate.com which is also worth seeing.

What is meant by a rectified deck in tarot cards?
I think it refers to the deck created by Arthur E. Waite and Pamela Colman Smith, often referred to as the "Rider-Waite" deck, but which I prefer to call the Waite-Smith deck.
Waite was a mystic who believed his mystical ideas allowed him to see the deficiencies in the common Tarot decks of his time, and to make corrections to them. I'm not sure of all the details; however, I do know that he switched the places of a couple of cards, and gave The Fool the number 0.
Because Waite considered his version the "correct" one, he called his deck "rectified."
How does a magic crystal ball work?
A crystal ball is used in the practise of scrying (a form of divination). Objects such as the crystal ball, water, fire, clouds, tea leaves, coffee grains, and many more can be used as the focus of the diviner's attempt to receive information about an issue, fortell the future, or discover hidden knowledge.
Crystals in particular are good for scrying as they are amplifiers, and transmitters and receivers of energy. They work by providing a focus for the reader's subconscious, which he can then tap into in order to uncover hidden knowledge.
If nothing else, crystal balls are a great meditation aide :)

Is the word Tarot as in tarot cards Torah spelled backwards as in Jewish Kabbalah?
In 15th century Italy, the Tarot cards were called "Trionfi" or trumps as this set of 22 extra cards was the decks main distinguishing feature. The card game for which these cards were originally designed is credited for introducing the concept of a trump suit in card games. The origins of the French word "Tarot" or of related words such as "Tarocchi" or "Tarock" remain unknown, but there is no evidence they are related to the word "Torah."
Answer
The Tarot/Torah thing does have one other source.
There is no etymological connection between tarot/torah, however, in Aleister Crowley's Book of Thoth (his interpretation of the tarot qabalistically) there is one relation drawn between them: The Qabalah, functionally, is designed to reveal the divine presence in everything (not to be confused with pantheism). We rejoice in God by appreciating his creation, and use creation to try to understand God. Therefore, ALL aspects of existence (good or bad, spiritual or physical) can be considered a call to us from God.
It could then be inferred that Tarot was deliberately called that to draw our attention to the Torah (A stretch to some, but the qabalist will understand).
Also, on the back cover (at least of the paper back) of the same Book, there is a picture of Thoth (Egyptian/Coptic god of language, magic, and wisdom) with:
T- A
R- O
On his hand. An essay in the book explains that this is a glyph to be meditated on since it reveals TARO (the book of thoth) which can be used to help interpret TORA (the book of Jewish law) to help us all escape the ROTA (meaning 'wheel') of fate.
People can spend the rest of their lives debating the validity of anything Crowley's ever said, so I won't make any claim that this is right, but does make for interesting brain food. Although, one is left wondering why the other anagrams (RATO, OATR, ORTA) are ignored. Perhaps there is secret wisdom to be found here.

A set of cards used for playing trick taking card games which use a constant trump suit and also for various cartomantic, spiritual, or psychological applications. The typical 78 card tarot includes four regular suits of 14 cards each, a trump suit of 21 cards, and the fool. Each of the four regular suits are headed by 4 court cards; the king, the queen, the knight or cavalier, and the jack or page. These regular suits are often called "minor arcana." The 21 trumps and the fool form a set often called the "major arcana." The terms "major arcana" and "minor arcana" are more often used by tarot card readers than they are by game players. The Italian suited tarot uses the suit signs of coins or pentacles, cups, batons or wands, and swords. The French suited tarot uses the suit signs of diamonds, hearts, clubs, and spades. The Italian suited tarot is currently favored by those practicing tarot reading although it is still used in some regions for card playing. With few exceptions, French suited tarots are almost exclusively used for card playing and not for cartomancy. Tarot was not widely adopted by mystics, occultists and secret societies until the 18th and 19th centuries. Antoine Court de Gébelin, a Swiss clergyman and Freemason, published Le Monde Primitif, a speculative study which included religious symbolism and its survivals in the modern world. Gébelin further claimed that the name "tarot" came from the Egyptian words tar, meaning "royal", and ro, meaning "road", and that the Tarot therefore represented a "royal road" to wisdom.
The idea of the cards as a mystical key was further developed by Eliphas Lévi and passed to the English-speaking world by The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. His book 'Transcendental Magic' introduced an interpretation of the cards which related them to Hermetic Qabalah. He devised a system which related the Tarot to the Kabbalah and the four elements of alchemy. Tarot divination became increasingly popular from 1910, with the publication of the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot (designed and executed by two members of the Golden Dawn), which replaced the traditionally simple pip cards with images of symbolic scenes.
Each card has a variety of symbolic meanings that have evolved over the years. Custom or themed tarot decks exist which have even more specific symbolism, although these are more prevalent in the English-speaking world. The minor arcana cards have astrological attributions that can be used as general indicators of timing in the year, based on the Octavian calendar, and the court cards may signify different people in a tarot reading, with each suit's "nature" providing hints about that person's physical and emotional characteristics. In many systems, the four suits are associated with the four elements: Swords with air, Wands with fire, Cups with water and Pentacles with earth. The numerology of the cards is also considered significant. The tarot is considered to correspond to various systems such as astrology, Pythagorean numerology, and the Kabalah.
Carl Jung was the first psychologist to attach importance to tarot symbolism. He regarded the tarot cards as representing archetypes: fundamental types of person or situation embedded in the subconscious of all human beings. The theory of archetypes gives rise to several psychological uses. Since the cards represent these different archetypes within each individual, ideas of the subject's self-perception can be gained by asking them to select a card that they 'identify with'. Equally, the subject can try and clarify the situation by imagining it in terms of the archetypal ideas associated with each card. Some schools of occult thought or symbolic study, such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, consider the tarot to function as a textbook and mnemonic device for their teachings. This may be one cause of the word arcana being used to describe the two sections of the tarot deck: arcana is the plural form of the Latin word arcanum, meaning "closed" or "secret."
The tarot is a variant of the 52 card deck created in northern Italy during the 15th century for playing a type of trick taking card game still played in many European countries such as France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland. Tarot cards began to be used for divination during the 18th century and have become a popular tool in subsequent centuries amongst occultists and those seeking spiritual or psychological guidance.

In my opinion most fortune tellers are highly intuitive. The ones that I have seen take clues from client's responses to tell them about what would normally happen if behaviors are not changed.

What does the Bible say about telling the future?
We are promised a new, righteous heavens and earth:
But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. (2 Peter 3:13)
Our new earth will have no sea:
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. (Revelation 21:1)
You will not remember former things:
"For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things shall not be remembered or come to mind. (Isaiah 65:17)
There will not be a sun or a moon:
And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb. (Revelation 21:23)
Gravity will be absent or greatly reduced (Anything the size of the New Jerusalem would become a sphere with gravity):
"And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband... And the city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the rod, fifteen hundred miles; its length and width and height are equal." (Revelation 21:2, 16)
No more death, suffering, pain
for the Lamb in the center of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them to springs of the water of life; and God shall wipe every tear from their eyes." (Revelation 7:17)
and He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4)
There will be water provided by the Lord:
And he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, (Revelation 22:1)
No sex or gender:
"You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures, or the power of God. "For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. (Matthew 22:29-30)
Also, believers will receive a new body and a new name! I will show my proof, and what our new bodies will be like:
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. (1 Corinthians 15:42-44)
This is the comparison between our old (current) bodies, and our resurrection bodies (In case you could not understand the verse above):
Old (Current) Bodies: Perishable, Dishonor, Weakness, Natural
New (Resurrection) Bodies: Imperishable, Glory, Power, Spiritual
This means we will be very much like God.
Here is proof of us receiving a new name:
'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.' (Revelation 2:17)
Can stars really tell the future?
No-one really, and why should we ask? Can't we live a day without knowing? Just chill, relax and realize that you don't need to know, you don't even need to care. Take a breather and let the chips fall where they may. Otherwise, curiosity will be the death of us yet, and that would be our future.
My prediction for humanity is that we will be wiped out by a more advanced species, but not our lifetime. Keep in mind that this a single prediction from a faceless Internet user, and will probably not be accurate.
