so, I'm not entirely sure you quite got it. Before our modern deck of cards, which we play games like shanghai rummy or spades or texas holdem, etc, it was the tarot deck. the scammers that ran around as fortune tellers used the generic standard playing card deck of the time to do it.
It'd be like me doing some slight of hand with the deck and telling fortunes or something. "an here we have the Ace of Spades, a clear indication of strength and nobilty. You have a challenge ahead of you; but you will face it with dignity. And with with ... oh dear... the suicide king, that is a powerful omen of self-sabotage. but I have a charm against ill omens for thirty internet points!"
yes, I already know that there is a history to it that has been tainted by modern skullduggery.
