The Art of Playing Cards is your tour guide to a standard deck. This handbook covers the classic games, tricks, and skills you'll need to become an expert card shark.Theres something about opening a new pack of cards. It doesnt matter whether you buy them at a filling station to while away a few hours on the road or if theyre a classic deck of Bicycle cards bought specifically for a poker nightthey smell the same. Theres the same whiff of possibility, of hands to play or chances to take, of bets to win and of fun just waiting to be had.THE GAMES:There are thousands of games we could have included, but along with some of the most popular, weve also chosen those we think are the most fun, the most challenging, and the most exasperating. Also, much of the beauty of card games is that they vary so much, and weve included plenty of tips for trying something a bit different. Of course, when faced with so many variations and different games, it would be impossible to include them all here; we only hope that you like the ones we have squeezed in.THE SKILLS:Shuffles, cuts, ribbon spreads, fans, flourishes, false cuts, forces, false shuffles, finger lifts, double lifts theyre all here, explained in a simple stepbystep fashion that makes it easy for anyone to pick them up.THE TRICKS:Here weve concentrated on tricks we think are easy and approachable because there are few things more frustrating than trying to do something thats simply out of your league or utterly beyond your physical abilities. Thus, you wont find any magicians glue or funny specialized decks of cards; there are few props, and no fiendishly complex sleights and palms and there are definitely no cards up anyones sleeves.We hope the result is a book that youll be able to come back to again and again, whether its to brush up on your shuffling or because you want to learn a new game or a new trick for the holidays. If you do that, then this book has served its purpose. Oh, and always remember, its not the cards in your hand that count, its how you play them.
