Something a little different.. Hope you Enjoy!!
Chris Ramsay the deck map is such an amazing story! I never knew that, thanks!
loved it..💞💞💞💞thankyou
Chris Ramsay this is dope man
Chris Ramsay hello!
when are the giveaway winners going to be Announced?
Actually, getting to know the reason behind why I so often see American Soldiers depicted with an Ace of Spades in their helmet blew my mind more than anything else in the video
While the story is true, the myth is false. The Ace of Spades holds no meaning in Vietnamese culture.
@@n3Cr0ManCeD Am a Vietnamese, can confirm. This idiotic belief is part of the reason why they "lost" that war (not a actual lost per se, more like a minor miscalculation).
USPCC is reprinting a deck with only Aces of Spades called "Secret Weapon Bicycle", just like back then during the war
@@n3Cr0ManCeD Yes it true, the soldiers left a card on the bodies or in places they took over as a message. The tried to connect the AoS with death. Too bad we rice farmers didnt give a shit about that
@@longphan4691 still lost
*Opens up completely new, unopened deck of playing cards* Wow! This is an order of playing cards of which no one else has ever seen or likely will ever see again! :) Not being a heckler, enjoy all your vids man! I liked this interesting format. Keep it up!
Ethan Moilanen I agree 100%
Ethan Moilanen yea and if u faro shuffle that new deck its also a order that has seen many times before haha
Now shuffle it perfectly 8 times.
please sub
Lol haha 😂😂
When you are a magician, but also you're a VSauce fan :3
LittlePandaDude how did you read my mind😨
same here
I am
40th Like
Me and 52 likes 😮😮😮😮
How each shuffle produces multiple "NEW ORDER" lines and slowly they converge to a single one at the 8th shuffle is so amazing to me!
Amazing, but what does it prove?
@@godessofthisage that if you perfectly shuffle a deck 8 times thr cards go back to their original order…
Chris you are such a good magician, I am honestly jeallous of you. I just watched one of your magic compilations and even tho I am a magician myself I am mindblown!
Breeze sneeze hi
Honest Hands yes, such n suck 😂😂
“This wont prompt any suspicion “
“Sir we searched the POW and they all have decks of cards”
Gotta pass time somehow 🤷♂️ I don’t thing it’s really be all that suspicious.
there is a random chance of a duplicate shuffle..
also the second joker represents Feb 29th
Great! Thank you for this information, Chris!
*"How can Ace be one and eleven? Huh?!? What kind of god would allow that?"*
@Son of a Glitch - Never argue with a mathematician. 🤯
I heard about the deck maps being a veteran myself but never knew how they worked so that was awesome really appreciated that. The other facts were also amazing and I can honestly say I've learned 5 new things today! Thank you for sharing.
maria hernandez thanks for your service!
The 8 times in a row faro shuffle returning the cards to new deck order is a gem!
I know when I pick a deck of cards up I've had the arrangement before. And so has juan tamariz.. And you! Love that principle
;)
@0:49... it's not false, it is very true! The value of all cards in a suits is (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13) = 91 * 4 (suits) + 1 (joker) = 365. Your math does double work of the calculation by starting with the average value of a playing card, but that number is derived by adding the values of all cards in a suit (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13), which equals 91, and dividing by 13, the number of cards in a suit, which equals 7. Later you say to multiply by 13, which just gets us back to the total of all values in a suit. And finally, of course, multiplying by 4 suits and adding a joker = 365. So, there's no difference. The so-called "myth" just does the math more straight forward. ;-)
"Red and black represent night and day".
Actually, the sun and the moon, i.e. the Red King and the White Queen.; Gold and Silver, Feminine Mercury and Masculine Sulphur. This is ancient alchemy symbology for duality.
"4 suits, 4 seasons"...
Actually, playing cards are derived from Tarot. Hearts = Cups, Spades = Swords, Clubs = Clubs, (or Staves...or Wands), and Diamonds = Pentacles or Coins. This also represents the four elements derived by the Greek Empedoclese, adopted by Pythagorous in his mystery cult, and later by Plato. Aristotle, who was Plato's student, added a fifth element, Aether, (quintessense or fifth essense) represented by the fifth suit, the major archana in Tarot. So, Diamonds = Earth = Pentacles or Coins, Hearts = Water = Cups, Spades = Air = Swords, and Clubs = Fire = Wands or Staves (or Clubs), and the fifth element is the Major Archana suit = Aether = Spirit. In the Ancient symbol of the circumscribed pentacle, each element is at it's own "point" and represents aspects of reality. Earth = material values, Air = ideas, logic, reason...basically the Stoic's idea of Logos, Water = intuition and emotions, Fire = Passion and ambition, and Spirit or Aether = Spiritual Alchemy, or progressive enlightenment.
"4 suits, 4 seasons",
In occultism, 3 is the number of the spiritual. It's the number of trinities, triangles and invocations and magick. 4 is the number representing the mundane world, i.e. Earth, Fire, Air and Water, and the four cardinal directions, North South East and West. When witches "call the corners" and say Gardians of the Watchtowers, or Gardians of the Crossroads...this is what they're talking about, the Gardians of what separates the spiritual realm from the material.
13 cards in a suit.
13 moons (full moons), or lunar months in a year.
13 high tides in a 7 day week.
13 weeks in a season.
13 witches in a coven.
There are so many ways to have a shuffled deck, that any given shuffeled deck is probably completely unique to all time and space, and will never be that exact order...ever again...ever.
"Actually, playing cards are derived from Tarot."
This is a common misconception, told mostly by Tarot enthusiasts. The earliest Tarot decks emerged in Renaissance Italy, but the four suits -- clubs, swords, cups, and coins -- were used in playing cards long before that in Persia and Arabia. These are sometimes called the "Latin suits," and are used in regional playing cards from Italy as well as the "Spanish deck" (baraja española) popular in Spanish-speaking countries. The coins were replaced with pentacles in some decks, starting with the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) deck, first published in the early 20th century.
The familiar "French suits" (clubs, hearts, diamonds, spades) were already in use for several decades prior to the appearance first Tarot decks in the 15th century. The French suits are used in French Tarot decks, which are not used for divination or other occult purposes, but for playing the game of Tarot, which has numerous variants. There's no documentary evidence that Tarot was used for anything other than game-playing prior to the 18th century. These alchemical meanings were grafted onto the Tarot cards much later.
"13 cards in a suit"
But a standard Tarot deck has 14 cards in a suit, doesn't it? And the old Persian decks had only 12, ten pip cards plus two court cards, a king and a vizier. The most commonly used Spanish deck has numbers one through seven plus three court cards, for a total of 40 cards. And there are other variants. For any of these variants, we could come up with some numerological significance.
You sir, are an agreeable.
You really underestimated how incredible the possible iterations of a shuffled deck is. To put it in real perspective its pretty close to the estimated number of atoms in the ENTIRE milky way galaxy. Pretty darned insane.
Make more like this! The history behind magic is amazing and will always be good content. I for one would love to see and hear your understanding of magic history from ancient Egypt through today. Fantastic topic, keep this shit coming Mr. Ramsay, you always give inspiration to keep learning this art that we all love and hold so dear!
There is different types of magic. The type that the Egyptians knew about, is not sleight of hand type magic tricks with cards.
There is magic and there is magic tricks. If you wanna know more, genuinely, let me know. If you come to argue, bye.
Man, I don't usually like watching UA-cam videos because they usually get me bored, but every time I watch one of your videos, it just makes me want to watch another one. I don't know if it is how entertaining you are, or the way that you speak. Keep up the good work!
I like the fact when he added the joker to make it 365 days 😆
And he also could count with leap years because they have 366 days, and a deck of playing cards have two jokers
Always knew about the Ace of Spades in the helmets of our soldiers but never knew why... So Thank You and The last fact gives me a whole new appreciation for a deck of cards.
The Faro shuffle thing blew my mind :O
One of the best card videos I’ve seen since I picked a deck up years ago. I knew about half of these but the other half is awesome. The last fact of no one has had the arrangement of cards each time their shuffled is mind blowing.
The fact in this video reminded of the song by Tex Riitter , Deck of Cards. At the end of the song the soldier said that a deck of cards serves as a bible or almanacs, but also a prayer book
my great grandpa had an unopened map card from his time in the war. one corner was slightly peeling away from the map underneath, but he wouldn't let anyone open it the rest of the way. even though every kid in the family, for generations, who saw it begged to do it.my uncle has it now and still won't let it be peeled open.
Another fun fact, but only works with french cards I think : Jacks, Queens and Kings have names :
Kings : Charles (hearts), Alexandre (clubs), César (diamonds), David (spades)
Queens : Judith (hearts), Argine (clubs), Rachel (diamonds), Pallas (spades)
Jacks : Lahire (hearts), Lancelot (clubs), Hector (diamonds), Ogier (spades)
Fun fact, the cycle happens with any shuffle that is done equal every time. This means that if you were to shuffle 2,1,3,4,2,3,1,5...every time, the cycle will happen. Although not necessarily at 8.
Always enjoy learning with you. I'd love a video with more of what you know about the history of cards from ancient China to the modern day. Keep having fun man!
omg you were talking about the a if spades. I was Charlie cutting my deck. I flipped over the top card and lo and behold the ace of spades. FREAKY!!!!! awesome video.
hey chris I'm a long time fan just wanted to thank you for all the help
I also read once that a prisoner used the red ink from a deck of cards to blow the lock on his cell. I don't know if it's true, but supposedly the red ink used at the time had something in it that was easy to ignite. Even if it's not true it's still a pretty cool story.
Most of the facts weren't new to me but that negative space 8 fact freaking blew my mind! BRUH!
Chris: you could shuffle a deck since the beginning of creation and will never end up in the same order.
Also Chris 2 minutes before: just 8 times of riffle shuffle brings them in the same order
Not everyone does 8 perfect Pharaoh shuffles in a row from an ordered deck.
You do understand the statistics he's talking about, right?
I brought this up to my father last week saying "statistically speaking, when you shuffle a deck of cards, you're far more likely to put them in a sequence that has never been done before than to put them in a sequence that has been done". We debated for a bit... unfortunately, I scrapped the paperwork so I can't show you my work.
We spent about 20 minutes approximating how many physical shuffles have been done since cards were invented - we assumed something like 1 million shuffles per day in modern times, and less in the past (with most of them happening in the last 200 years or so). We each calculated our own numbers with a rough graph and took the average of both.
Then we compared the "total amount of shuffles" to the "total amount of possible sequences (aka. 52!)".
From our grossly approximated calculations, "all of the shuffles ever done" only accounted for something like...
0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000005% of the possibilities. (*I likely missed a few 0s)
As crazy as it sounds, "you could shuffle a deck since the beginning of creation and will never end up in the same order." is 100% accurate, if not an understatement.
In actuality, he could have said 100x the lifespan of the universe and it would probably still be true.
There was a hit record in 1959 that brings up many of the facts in the video. It was called "Deck of Cards," recorded by Wink Martindale, who later went on appropriately host a blackjack based game show called "Gambit."
Minor probability correction:
There isn't anything that ensures the orders can't repeat until all of them do. Some will be completely unique orders. Many won't.
It's a lot like the birthday problem. There's 366 possible birthdays. If you get into a room with 23 people, odds are someone shares a birthday. (22 is 47.6% chance. 23 is 50.7% and it goes up from there). Even with far more options than exist within the room, the probability of a duplicate is pretty good just because of how things shake out. This assumes all dates are equally likely for a birthday and ignores some times of the year get more births. The same math would work out for shuffling cards (and really, there are more likely orders to start a shuffle from meaning some are more likely to occur as well)
It's possible no order has ever been duplicated. Though, it's very unlikely.
Well the ace explains why the 4 infantry brigades on fort campbell were hearts, spades, clubs and diamonds. Well used to be four and 3rd brigade doesnt use any suite anymore but my old brigade still rocked the heart.
Hey Chris. Huge Fan from South Africa in a growing Magic Community, where I too have just started. Just wanna say you're a great motivation for all us South African Magicians and keep doing what you doing.
Chris, great video, but at 0:49 you said that the myth is false (now you did show how you get the 365, but that's besides the point). I just did the math
(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 +10 + 11 + 12 + 13) * 4 = 364
364 + a joker = 365
So... its true...
2ManyTekkers yeah just tried it that works :P
+2ManyTekkers Well damn. 👌
The problem is that jack, queen, king are usually not worth 11, 12, 13 points in traditional card games.
Finn Koepke Most card games have the king ranked higher than queen, which is higher than a jack, which is higher than a 10. Since the cards are ordered with an increment of one, you can use deductive reasoning to give these values to their respective faces.
Besides, in most card games where the J Q & K are not treated as these values, they end up being "face cards" which are simply higher than the rest, and not given a specific value.
SleightlyHandy but there's 2 jokers
Idk why I was just reminded of playing poker with friends in middle school. Used to shuffle all the aces to the bottom and bottom deal em to myself. I would shuffle one ace to the 4th from the top and one or 2 at the bottom. Somehow they never asked why it took me 5 mins to shuffle a deck of cards.
In Vietnam, they would also leave aces of spades on insurgent corpses. Goes a little deeper than just keeping one in your helmet band, but I understand keeping a family friendly channel.
i love the little shorter videos like that. great job!!
Please note, I love your channel and I am not criticizing, I just care a lot about history and so It's a fact not a speculation that the reason there're 52 cards in a deck of cards is because the French chose that number and the reason for that is because the majority felt that was a perfect number to yield the best game of cards. Also bonus fact the reason an ace of spades is so fancy is because it was the proof the taxes had been paid for that specific deck of playing cards.
i find it really cool that if you write new order on the side it will split into many then remerge into one almost magical
yo Chris, I know I'm 2 years late here (this vid popped up randomly on my feed), but you said that adding all the single values of the cards doesn't add up to 365; which is true. However, that's not what you're supposed to do lol, what you do is add up ALL the values of the cards (including J=11, Q=12, K=13), and then you'll actually get 364
@Son of a Glitch I looked it up and apparently it originates from the game Euchre, which needed an extra trump card to play with, which then slowly got adopted by most decks of cards. So I think its just coincidence that we have an extra card to make the addition equal 365. Still super cool though!
I've heard before that the standard deck of cards is based on the Tarot deck. With the Joker acting as the Fool. The suits are substituted and the Jacks act as both of the court cards besides the King and Queen. Don't know for sure, but sounded interesting
The intro was LIT🔥
David Williamson 1:40
I think the one Williamson performs is actually a trick by Paul Gertner.
I need that meme Chris
It’s hard for me to fathom that there’s really that many ways to shuffle a deck of cards🤯
You can also spell out Ace through King and it is exactly 52 cards. So A-C-E T-W-O T-H-R-E-E, etc.
Jeremy Chambers and if they're grouped by value in numerical order (4 aces, 4 dueces, 4 treys, 4 fours, etc) as you deal a card and spell them out the last card will be that value
That last one really got me!!
You might be interested in the connection between the origins of playing cards I.E. the Mamluk cards, apparently the suits evolved from these cards. Coins became diamonds, swords became spades, polo staffs became clubs, and chalices became hearts... in tarot they also evolved into pentacles, swords, sticks/wands, and chalices. Also interesting note. When the cards were made it was early compared to interaction between different lands, the reason polo staffs were included were partly because the Europeans braught polo over to Egypt and when they did it's partially believed they had no idea what the staffs were lol, and may have believed they had more significance than they really did. Early chinese cards are interesting as well.
Mamluk cards are the earliest still surviving cards however it spread there from asia generally speaking.
The 52 factorial shuffle fact is crazy when you know people like Richard Turner exist.
The last one is a total contradiction. May seem silly. But it took you 8 shuffles to get the same exact order you started with. You didn't have to start with the deck in order. Could've been shuffled 50 times first. Then wrote new order. Then the 8 shuffle thing. Bang. Same exact order you started with.
every single day you blow my mind more. that 1x1 card shuffle is insane!!!
This gave me a healthy dose of respect for playing cards
I just ordered a deck of white lions black label looking to get into it been watching your videos learned a lot so far lol keep it up bro
Short video, Fast, Interesting and fun to watch. Among the best on the subject. Thumbs up !
there's another cool fact about the playing cards they are read by psychics using the cards as tarot . For instance... The queen of diamonds is the queen of pentacles , the king of spades is the king of swords in tarot, the 7 of hearts is the 7 of cups in a tarot , tarot has 78 cards , the regular deck of playing cards are examples as quart cards and lower arcana . Amazing 😍
About the 52! The funny thing about random numbers is... they're random. Just because there are 52! possible ways or orders in which the cards can end up after shuffling in no way suggests the cards can't end up in the same order as a previous shuffle, IE repeating the same random possible order so... technically saying that if you shuffle a deck of cards over and over since the beginning of time you will not come up with the same order is misleading. Cool video... thanks!
Ynow, that map in the playing cards got me thinkin... how many secrets were left undiscovered?
hey Chris I have a question. How do u go about finding a group/fellow magicians?
Abizer Naseem subscribe to the channel and you're in Chris Ramsey's little community
Clogged Cord that was done ages ago. But back in India I can't exactly find a lot of people who know chris
Plop, in WW2, not only cards were maps : lots of kid or family games were maps, like monopoly or cluedo :)
I am always fascinated by cards
Chris: *does faro shuffle 8 times and returns the cards to the original order he had before the shuffling*
Also Chris: It isn’t likely to get the same pattern more than once when you shuffle a deck of cards
Well a faro shuffle isn't actually a good shuffle to randomize the cards
Ahhhh okay that makes more since now
People are so used in the USA to just say "playing cards" and automatically mean French cards (used in Poker). But there are other types of well-known cards, for example Central and Eastern Europe uses a 32-card deck. And there the suits really represent seasons, and the seasons are actually depicted on the aces.
these are the types of videos I like Chris, they are short, entertaining, and amazing!!
The trick from the WW is so freaking cool. Would love to see one of these decks.
i really loved the way you started the video..right to the point
More! We want more! I love this kind of videos 😍
Can never unsee the blank-space-8-of-diamonds, omg
Chris you are very cool 😎 I liked these facts
You have to do the Faro shuffle perfectly for that to work. I'm not a card person, so maybe I'm too easily impressed, but wow.
Fact 6: The Ace of Spades is associated with death because the penalty for forging one was death. This was the UK I believe and there was a heavy tax. The AoS was withheld until the tax was paid. Forgers made and sold them for much less. If caught the forger was, I believe, hung.
Chris, do you know any material that I can read about the history of playing cards and their symbolism like how they choose to put some odd suits upside down and why royal cards are holding different stuff?
Read CARDS of your DESTINY by Robert Camp:
www.7thunders.com/products-services/books/card-science-books/beginner-level-books/
Cards are so beautifil but simple at the same time and is a probe that we can create many things from a simple tool and still don't know then all... Cards takes the best of human intelligence and creativity.
You sound like a fellow collector.
The 8 Times Faro Shuffle Technique, is that the way Paul Gertner did his trick on Penn and Teller Fool Us?
Hi I'm a kemetic practitioner and in the broom closet and I actually used these for as tarot cards and cartomancy
Whatever the odds, you can never be sure that you have shuffled a unique arrangement of cards.
Chris, watch Vsauce's math magic!! He discusses more in depth the true size of 52! and he makes it very visual. You would like it
Another cool fact is the Joker represents the #0 and the back of a symmetrical card represents infinity.
Ah, I get it now :-)
You mean it is a myth because after adding up the value of every single card you end up with 364 instead of 365...
Then you continue to explain this with the example the average value: 7 x 13 = 91, 91 x 4 = 364.
Which is the same result, but a lot faster than: 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13 = 91, 91 x 4 =364.
I was confused there for a second, now I got it I think :-)
It is a myth because you end up on 364 and you have to add the 1 Joker to complete it to the 365 Days of a complete year...
I assumed this myth comes from time with a time of calendars with 364 days like the "Enoch calendar" maybe...
The thing with the 8 card was really cool too!
You make great videos, keep up the great work !!!!
Cheers!
Chris I'm in Hawaii and I got the henna version of your tattoo 3AQ7. . Thanks for great videos!👍 ♠️♥️♣️♦️
by far my favorite video you've made
I was affraid with the new intro but after woooh ! :)
saw this in a video and a website lol
Start by picking your favorite spot on the equator. You're going to walk around the world along the equator, but take a very leisurely pace of one step every billion years. The equatorial circumference of the Earth is 40,075,017 meters. Make sure to pack a deck of playing cards, so you can get in a few trillion hands of solitaire between steps. After you complete your round the world trip, remove one drop of water from the Pacific Ocean. Now do the same thing again: walk around the world at one billion years per step, removing one drop of water from the Pacific Ocean each time you circle the globe. The Pacific Ocean contains 707.6 million cubic kilometers of water. Continue until the ocean is empty. When it is, take one sheet of paper and place it flat on the ground. Now, fill the ocean back up and start the entire process all over again, adding a sheet of paper to the stack each time you’ve emptied the ocean.
Do this until the stack of paper reaches from the Earth to the Sun. Take a glance at the timer, you will see that the three left-most digits haven’t even changed. You still have 8.063e67 more seconds to go. 1 Astronomical Unit, the distance from the Earth to the Sun, is defined as 149,597,870.691 kilometers. So, take the stack of papers down and do it all over again. One thousand times more. Unfortunately, that still won’t do it. There are still more than 5.385e67 seconds remaining. You’re just about a third of the way done.
And you thought Sunday afternoons were boring
To pass the remaining time, start shuffling your deck of cards. Every billion years deal yourself a 5-card poker hand. Each time you get a royal flush, buy yourself a lottery ticket. A royal flush occurs in one out of every 649,740 hands. If that ticket wins the jackpot, throw a grain of sand into the Grand Canyon. Keep going and when you’ve filled up the canyon with sand, remove one ounce of rock from Mt. Everest. Now empty the canyon and start all over again. When you’ve levelled Mt. Everest, look at the timer, you still have 5.364e67 seconds remaining. Mt. Everest weighs about 357 trillion pounds. You barely made a dent. If you were to repeat this 255 times, you would still be looking at 3.024e64 seconds. The timer would finally reach zero sometime during your 256th attempt. Exercise for the reader: at what point exactly would the timer reach zero?
Back here on the ranch
The Details
Please be advised that rounding and measurement error combined are many orders of magnitude greater than the current age of the universe, 4.323e17 seconds.
52! is approximately 8.0658e67. For an exact representation, view a factorial table or try a "new-school" calculator, one that understands long integers.
A billion years currently equals 3.155692608e16 seconds; however, the addition of leap seconds due to the deceleration of Earth's orbit introduces some variation.
The equatorial circumference of the Earth is 40,075,017 meters, according to WGS84.
One trip around the globe will require a bit more than 1.264e24 seconds, assuming 1 meter per step, which is actually quite a stretch for most people. This is almost 3 million times the current age of the universe, and we still have 2 levels of recursion to go (ocean, stack of papers).
There are 20 drops of water per milliliter, and the Pacific Ocean contains 707.6 million cubic kilometers of water, which equals about 1.4152e25 drops.
1 Astronomical Unit, the distance from the Earth to the Sun, is defined as 149,597,870.691 kilometers.
A royal flush occurs in one out of every 649,740 hands.
The odds of winning a lotto jackpot after matching 6 numbers chosen without replacement from the range 1 to 59 are 1 in 45,057,474.
The Grand Canyon has an estimated volume of 40 billion cubic meters. 1 grain of sand occupies approximately 1 cubic milimeter. Thus, the Grand Canyon could hold roughly 4e19 grains of sand.
This article estimates that Mt. Everest weighs about 357 trillion pounds.
I enjoyed the video but expected more on card history, even modern playing card history like Tarot/Taroco decks (card game, not cartomancy decks that came later) which feature 70-something cards and are the reason French and Italian decks use 52 cards, which correspond to the non-trumph cards of a Tarot deck. Also aside from Tarot decks which are still used in France, other decks in modern usage feature 32, 40, 48 cards and have different suits like those used in German or Spanish decks.
For those interested in diving deeper, look-up the history of tarot. It relates directly to playing cards.
A lot to do with the number of cards and of which suits just has to do with natural evolution of playing cards over time based on what games were being played.
The number of cards per deck has varied widely anywhere from only 24 to over a hundred, as well as the number of suits and the number of both pip and face cards. for hundreds of years, every country had their own variations and even some cities had their own based on the games played there.
You can still buy modern versions of some of these decks now but the modern standardized deck is based on the classic French style suits.
Cool! I learned the faro shuffle ages ago and heard about the 8 in a row to original order. Tried it only got to 4 at best. Thanks for confirming. and performing.
Just for you to know, the skat and poker decks were made out of the japanese card game called "Hanafuda". ;)
The King of hearts is the only king which has his sword/dagger inside his head. He is also known as the suicide king.
\
Viraat Arora some say he’s committing suicide because he feels inferior to the other 3 kings, because he’s the only king that doesn’t have/can’t grow a moustache
@@canadaparlay And some say he's depicted as the most handsome and youthful being the King of Hearts but committed suicide since he couldn't marry the other 3 Queens.
the 8 of diamonds one blew my mind
love the intro and songs
I believe that the deck of 52 cards actually originated from tarot cards when the witch trails started they hid the major arcana cards and were left with the minor arcana cards which were in four suits.
your eyes colour were match with your cap.. so beautiful .. green colour
#5 "You can shuffle a deck of cards every second since the beginning of creation and the Big Bang and still, to this day, not have had the same arrangement twice."
... even though you literally just did it in 8 shuffles in #3
Yeah, bro but... that was another kind of shuffle
really digging this type of video / style Chris! also the new intro is fire
British intelligence did the same thing with monopoly boards. They "donated" monopoly boards to allied POWs under the guise of a charitable organization. The boards could be cut open and contained maps and compasses
I think the 2 colours, 4 suits, 12 cards (excluding the ace) is more jsut because they are really easy numbers to work with.
A deck with 3 colours, 7 suits, and 11 cards would just be impractical
Yo Chris you shuffled it perfectly 8 times!!!?? Teach me oh great one!!!!
