Cards give us a reason to spend time together for a game or perhaps as a spectator, they bring together like-minded people.

Where did the playing cards come from, when and in what country? An exact answer to this question was not found. There is an assumption that for the first time playing cards appeared in ancient Egypt, allegedly under the onslaught of enemies and, feeling that the end is near, the Egyptian people captured all their knowledge in a deck of cards, but this is just a legend. There are suggestions that the first playing cards originate in ancient China, and this sounds plausible, because everyone knows that in ancient China, a lot of things were invented. There are opinions that for the first time cards were invented in Europe. But let me remind you once again, there is no reliable information about where the cards were first invented.

In Russia, playing cards appeared in the early 17th century and immediately began to enjoy immense popularity. Especially popular card games were used by soldiers and it is for this reason that card games were banned. During the reign of Peter the First, the ban on playing cards was canceled, and the cards got their second birth.

Separately, I would like to mention card tricks. There are a lot of card tricks and all of them are able to surprise the viewer. This art requires great skill and sleight of hand, but when the card deck is in the hands of a professional, it seems that this is not sleight of hand, but magic. Card tricks are able to attract attention not only to children, but also to adults who understand that no miracle happens, but when they see such tricks, their eyes start to shine with delight. This is also the merit of playing cards.

In conclusion, I would like to say that in our age of Internet and technology, an ordinary deck of cards, which was invented a long time ago, can distract people from everyday routine and draw their attention to themselves.
