This is amazing, could listen to you talk for hours, you make everything sound so interesting and beautiful, which playing cards by nature certainly are! Thankyou for the education, please keep it coming, love from the UK!
The fact that you brought all this history together and made this story so fascinating just further shows how much of a great storyteller you are, the way you have demonstrated many times in your specials. Thanks you for your work and style DMC. Always an inspiration
hi! i wanted to say i adored this video. im autistic and playing cards are one of the things that sorta activates it, this video has made me really, REALLY happy and excited and im so glad you shared it!!
Came here because of Tarot... lol Ty and I appreciate your time and energy! Wish you and all others reading, the most amazing end to the year! Peace, love, and blessings!
Wow!!the best historical research on playing cards ever! Well documentated, pleasantly explained, clear voice, and gorgeous broadcaster!!! Thank you. My best regards from the coastal city of Ashdod in Israel!!!
I’ve been collecting cards for a couple of years now and have a fairly extensive collection but I have learned so much from you in this video that I now want to delve into the history of cards so thank you for awakening that interest you have a very engaging way of teaching and I am very happy that I watched this 🙂
Your passion for cards is lovely and inspiring to me. The stories you brought up and told made me smile due to how fascinated I was by them. The ripped card idea might just be in a story I write. Very informative and nice job.
I will use every factoid and story that you provided throughout my performances. I have been sprinkling similar information in my card routines for years. Your presentation is cohesive, entertaining, factual (as much as it can be) and useful in the real world of magic. On a side note: I was born with eyesight complications and have purchased as many marked decks as I have been able to find. With very few exceptions, if the lighting is bright enough, I can make out the marks. The DMC green deck is the only marked deck that I can read, without squinting. I can’t relay how thrilled I am to have discovered them through Peter Nardi, owner of Alakazam Magic years ago. In exchange for the plethora of material you have provided in this 19 minute presentation, here is a factoid you might enjoy, although it doesn’t deal directly to cards. The majority of “premes,” or pre-mature births, have vision issues. The length of time they are pre-mature, the greater the vision challenges they are, most likely, to endure. Why? Because the eyes are the last organs to develop. The ears are the second to last organs. So, it’s not uncommon for severely early premes to have both hearing and visual challenges.
Hi! to contribute to the history telling, I want to say the mentioned playing cards that were getting into Spain, Italy, France... were many types. The first ones came from the Ottomans, similar to the later spanish playing cards. The first spanish playing cards represented the first boom of the playing cards in Europe, then Italy created their own suits based on the spanish suits, then the germans did the same and the french playing cards (most popular in America) were the last to be designed based on the german ones. We could say that the first playing cards as we know them now (color printed deck on a box) were the spanish ones.
In some French decks the jack has his back to viewer and his head turned to one side. Thus the reason for one eyed jacks If you look really close you can see the belt with the pleats gather under it.
I'm getting into cardistry and card magic and this video is fascinating. Wonderful video. Clearly you have a great love of cards :) I wonder how many decks you have!
More like this, please!! I absolutely LOVE hearing about the history of playing cards and I want to see more like this. Not that you have to use this exact idea, but just as an example, maybe do a more in depth history on a particular playing card, like Jerry's Nuggets or Peau Doux?
That was really interesting. The story about orphans is both heartbreaking and fascinating. It gives a different and very emotional feel to any torn card type effect
Very interesting video. I would also add the history of tarot cards and the Mamluk cards to the video. The tarot was primarily used to games, not necessarily fortune telling (although we have fortune telling examples from 15th century, even with normal 56-cards deck). In 18th century this changed. The tarot have 22 extra cards, and all the pip and court cards available. Spanish and italian decks have the king, knight and jack, while french ones have king, queen and jack. Tarot have all of them: king, both queen and Knight, and jack. They can be used for almost every game, just removing the cards you dont want to use. And about the Mamluk cards: they were the ancestors of our modern cards. They had 4 suits, very similar to our suits: coins (denari/diamonds), goblets (cups/hearts), scimtars (swords/spades) and polo sticks (bastoni/clubs).
Wow.. Amazing Video.. I have learnt so much about something i use every single day.. The history of playing cards is a truly brilliant one. Happy that as a collector im going to be a part of the history of playing cards throughout my life..
I really love the video, im currently looking into developing my own playing cards and i was wondering where you found your references and what books are displayed? I was also wondering if i could as you some questions about cards? :)
absolutely fascinating - just the kind of documentary I was looking for as I did wonder how playing cards came to be. Such history behind them. I'm thankful that you also showed B-roll of some books for further reading too - certainly a topic I want to delve deeper into. Do you have any suggestions for purchasing of historic recreations of early decks (but are still functional to use today)?
Hi, I startet doing magic coz of your show Death by Magic. You inspired me and i watch your show over and over again and its Mindblowing everytime. Thanks for the inspiration! Now my Girlfriend ordered me 2 decks including Alphas and im so exited to hold them in my hands. Greatings from Germany and hope youre doing well in times like these. Stay safe!
Very interesting and factual video. The story about the naming of a Sandwich because he requested bread on top of his meat is probably true amongst his circle, though I doubt nobody had thought about doing it before.
0:59 - thats interesting. I didn't count it, but different shuffles can lead to the same deals (for instance in bridge). That's why I think it's better to count how many different deals there is in a given game. There is (52 over 13)*(39 over 13)*(26 over 13) ~~ 5,36*10^28 different deals in bridge. I'ts more than stars in observable universe as I checked. I have always fought that bridge is a giant but I've just counted how many different deals there is in French Tarot. French tarot is a card game akin to bridge played with a special (tarot) deck of 78 cards so there is obviously more possible deals in French tarot than in bridge. But I was astonished HOW MANY. The ratio number of different deals in French tarot/number of different deals in bridge is about 10^20!!! That means French tarot is about 10^20 "bigger" game than bridge! Absolutely astonishing. It's again a number comparable to the number of stars in observable universe.
Fun fact: Though the Rider Waite Smith is probably the most well known tarot deck in the US, it’s not the oldest, originally published in 1909. Most older decks, including the most well known, the Marseille, are pip decks. The number cards of the minor arcana look like decorated playing cards, lacking fully illustrated scenes. In these decks it’s the two of pentacles/deniers/coins/diamonds, not the ace of swords/epees/spades that has the publisher’s mark. The oldest Marseille style deck we have complete dates to 1400
love the history.. so many folds... amazing.. but I heard about dashavatar card game of ancient bengal in India. don't know much. can it also be a part of card game history? stay safe....
They burned them because the act of looking to enjoy a game on a table resulted in bets not being met. Most importantly, the *Backgammon* board in the picture would reveal a time that the same root in measure for gambling would never let you make it out of the social circle based on the resources available to the bet being pushed. - Say you had one hundred golden coins at the standard start of a Backgammon push. You couldn’t make it out, and out of nowhere, double the initial bet even if you played to gamble. Because the max amount would be a multiple of 64. So you couldn’t just burle out sixty thousand four hundred gold coins in one game. But notice a casino can.
A magician as a judge in a talent hunt in my country once make a contestant failed the audition not bcs his performance but bcs of a question. He was asking about who's creating the trick that he did (the contestant was doing playing cards trick), the contestant can't answer it. And then this judge ask another question, what's the history of the playing cards that the contestant have. And again the contestant can't answer it.
Nintendo came full circle by releasing a game for the Nintendo DS called "Master of Illusion" (In Europe "Magic Made Fun") that included a deck of Nintendo branded playing cards that had some special magical features. The game was developed by Tenyo - Which should ring a bell if you are into magic :-)

Another rabbit hole I will dive in to with books. Thank you for enlightening me.
Very well done. This is a concise documentary which answers so many questions. Thank you
LOVE it ! I love the fact that you brought "depth" into the thing you do. In this way, magic can be so much powerful and meaningful.
Thank you DMC. Wonderful to listen to you tell the story of playing cards.
