Illusions with Playing Cards
A playing card is a piece of specially
prepared thin cardboard, plastic-coated paper, cotton-paper blend, or thin
plastic, marked with distinguishing motifs and used as one of a set for playing
card games. Playing cards are typically palm-sized for convenient handling.
A complete set of cards is called a pack
or deck, and the subset of cards held at one time by a player during a
game is commonly called a hand. A deck of cards may be used for playing
a great variety of card games, with varying elements of skill and chance, some
of which are played for money. Because playing cards are standardized and
commonly available, they are used for other purposes, such as illusions, cartomancy, cardistry,
and building card structures.
The front (or "face") of each card
carries markings that distinguish it from the other cards in the deck and
determine its use under the rules of the game being played. The back of each
card is identical for all cards in any particular deck, and usually of a single
color or formalized design. Usually every card will be smooth; however, some decks have braille to allow blind people to read the card number and suit. For most games, the cards are
assembled into a deck, and their order is randomized by shuffling.
A deck of 52 cards has
26 red cards and
26 black cards, which consist of
13 – Hearts (H) - {Ace-A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack-J, Queen-Q, King-K} ,
13 – Diamonds (D) - {Ace-A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack-J, Queen-Q, King-K} ,
