A deck of 52 cards is usually divided into four suits: clubs, hearts, diamonds and spades, two colors (red and Black), face cards and numbers cards.
It’s a good idea to get a deck that will stand up to a lot of use and won’t fade quickly. “Casinos want decks to be durable and easy for magicians, poker players and other users,” says Kalush.
