4:29 Spanish deck is still this way : ORO :gold PALO: club COPA: cup ESPADA: Sword In latin america we use the spanish deck, Brazil for being a Portuguese colony Adopted the English/French deck (I think is related to the time the Portuguese king married Henry VIII sister.
Here's a factoid about playing cards: A Spanish-suited deck of playing cards has no 8s, 9s, or 10s. The deck also uses clubs, cups, coins, and swords (Seen at 4:19).
This is a great video!! And your use of Jack Nicolson's Joker as a reference is absolute perfection! Your great taste in references alone should earn you millions of subscribers! I hope people flock to your channel!
The names of the kings and other face cards on early French decks weren't as consistent as some people think, and could vary depending on the printer. Sometimes it was historic figures, sometimes legendary figures like Lancelot.
And he doesn't even mention the Tarot. The Traveller's. This is a misogynistic, white-washed, Eurocentric focus. Sad that folks are buying his BS. A "sleight of bland," as it were.
This was fascinating. Do you have an recommendations for purchasing playing card decks that are based upon the earliest types of playing cards and show their evolution? It would be lovely to have a early /historical deck
Thank you! This is a great question, I have been looking for something like that myself and, unfortunately, couldn't find anything! If you look for smth like "Spanish suits deck" you will for sure find a deck with original Spanish suits. But to my knowledge no big card brand (USPCC, Cartamundi etc) produces decks based on historical card designs.
@@ArtofImpossible Great video but did you really not mention that the suits of the original Chinese playing cards were based around money and that those were what led to the coins, batons, cups, and swords of the Mamluk and early European decks?
Art of Impossible Du kommst auch aus Deutschland, oder? Soll ich deinen Channel in meinem nächsten Video promoten? Vielleicht kommen dann ein paar meiner Abonnenten rüber🤷🏻♂️
Ja, ich wohne seit 5 Jahren in Deutschland (ich komme aus Russland). Du hast wirklich hochwertige Videos! Ich habe jetzt abonniert) Es würde natürlich sehr helfen, wenn du meinen Kanal in deinem Video erwähnen könntest! Ich kann gerne auch dasselbe tun. Vielleicht ist es mehr sinnvoll, das ein bisschen später zu machen, wenn ich mehr Abonnenten habe)
02:43 Actually this is wrong, idk why people can't see it. It's the other way around, King of Hearts is Alexander the Great and King of Clubs is Charlemagne. One dead giveaway is the Globus Cruciger that the King of Clubs is holding, exactly like Charlemagne. On the other hand we have King of Hearts which is the ONLY King (inside a standard deck) who does not have a moustache/full beard, since he did shave daily as well as he commanded his army to do so as well.
So 52 cards represent the 52 weeks in a year before suits represents the four seasons if you add the cards up it comes out to 364 and the jokers are for the leap year
The Joker in the system of cardology represents December 31, and using its solar value (55 -day - month - month = 0) it's not only resembling the fool in the Tarot, but it also connects the highest card in the deck, the King of Spades (solar value = 52 ( 55 -1 - 1 - 1) on January 1, with the lowest card, the Ace of Hearts on December 30, solar value 1 ( 55 - 30 - 12 - 12). There's an amazing system hiding behind it that very very few people know, lest understand.
Art of Impossible yeah I know I just thought it would be like 7 mins or some shit as every other RUclipsr does, people say 2 minutes when it’s something like 12 mins or something like that. Thanks
The ace is the 1 and comes before the 2 and again after the King. It stands for desire, whereas the King stands for mastery. The King is the 13th card and stands for a higher level of consciousness, which is the opposite of the desire for something. But as we know from hermeticism, extremes meet, and here they do it in the most beautiful form.
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.
Art of Impossible? I don't recognize that last word (Russian lol) . In America we pronounce it , "IM POSSIBLE" lmao 🤣 Just saying God Bless and Much Love
As I know, the Germans put the queen to the court cards first but then they put it back for some reason (I couldn't find out, why). But meanwhile this version with a queen became too popular in Europe and the queen stayed in french version :)
"The French didn't like Royalty" ironic you say that, because France was Monarchy during Ancient and Medieval times, and also Magicians don't use Playing cards, because Playing cards are made for either Playing games, or gambling.
No, he's the Jack of Hearts. In Cardology at least. He sits fixed in the Jupiter column on the Venus line, "on the cross" so to say. It's the spiritual sacrifice card, giving blessings in love. The King of Hearts sits on the Mars line in the Mercury column, which exudes a completely different energy.
This is not an accurate history, but a populist, patriarchal, and Euro-Centric sermon. He dose not even nention the Tarot, the return od the Fool card as a Joker, and the Travelers. A false "sleight of bland."
I love the fact that you played the Sting song Shape of My Heart at 2:19.
Me too,Have a great day ❤
Flowers, bells, acorns and shields, that sums up Switzerland really
Most of central Europe really
Btw mariagenspiel is the best card game in my humble opinion

Spanish deck is still this way :
ORO :gold
PALO: club
COPA: cup
ESPADA: Sword
In latin america we use the spanish deck, Brazil for being a Portuguese colony Adopted the English/French deck (I think is related to the time the Portuguese king married Henry VIII sister.
So there are 52 cards because that's the number of weeks in a year, and there are 4 groups to resemble the 4 seasons
That’s dope ngl…
@@FebrianFidra "Fo' real..." 😏
Maybe for other reason
And two colors : red and black, to represent day and night CMIIW
Every season contains 13 cards which refer to 13 weeks for a quarter
0:53 is where the history part starts.
Thanks

Crazy the song shape my heart and juice wrld become famous from making a song with that same beat remixes 🔥💯LLJ
holy shit im impressed! the explanation was UNDER 5 mins! 4:59.830 minutes, as i saw on my phone

2:19 Juice World - Lucid Dreams?
Wow fantastic video excellent job
Thank You 🤗

Excellent video!
You are a magical teacher
2:31 those are two headed German style mariage cards if anybody was wondering
Liked even before i heard the Lucid Dream instrumental
You mean Hearts Clubs Diamonds and Spades right....

@@keinotee Pike is a pole weapon ,late middle ages to early 18th century. its a spear you don't throw just poke at people from a safe distance.
no, it's a pike which is the tip of a spear.
Had no clue why the Ace was higher than a King. Thanks!
The ace is the 1 and comes before the 2 and again after the King. It stands for desire, whereas the King stands for mastery. The King is the 13th card and stands for a higher level of consciousness, which is the opposite of the desire for something.

Good video, but I would have preferred a much longer video on the topic.
Thank you! This is an overview video so I tried to keep it concise but I hope to produce more videos on the topic in the future.
Love this guy
What is the name of the black cards?
I don't know how i got here but nice video
Very beautiful design

The original song is "Shape of My Heart" by Sting (1993)

So interesting and different from trading card game!
Brruuhh whats the word he said at 1:14

Diaoyu playing cards are my favorite
Each suit is the same size:
Spades=Clubs=Hearts=Diams
Diaoyu reminds me of Windows Vista
What a nice video, thank you a lot lol !! French power
I really want a card pack from the year 1900 or so
Qué pasó con la historia de Copas, Bastos, Oros y Espadas ?
Y solo 40 cartas ?
completely ignoring the history of Fournier and other great card influences...
This is 5 minutes history... There is a lot of history missing, lol.

I thought the Kings name was Louie. Must have had a long name
It would be nice if it had a subtitle in Portuguese

i’d love to buy an old french style deck
It intrigues me that humanity has been obsessed with cards since 15 century or probably earlier. Enigmatic!
@my opinion is facts Yes, even in today's mobile phones ¬¬
There are much more strange things about humanity than obsession with playing cards, lol.

The Ace of Spades was significant in the Vietnam War. There's a little piece of history for you.
Did u ever hear the world war 2 song The deck of cards
There are 54 cards if you include both Joker's
But there are only 52 weeks, and one Joker to connect December 30 with January 1. 😊

The only game of cards worth playing is Texas hold em but only if you shuffle several decks to Make one deck thus it's completely random.
So you’re not gonna mention any of the African influence. Very Eurocentric approach
Do you have examples of African playing cards? Would love to know. From 🇿🇦...
