Title: Which 3 of the 52 are your favourite and Why?
Post by: Lara Krystle "Lane" on February 16, 2012, 07:12:46 AM

Hey everyone. I just want to know which are your top 3 favourite cards in the deck and I'd like to know why they are your favourite. I have heard pretty cool stories and significance from other people who have told me their favourite card. So I'd love to know which ones are yours and why you like/favor them ^_^

I apologize for the super LOOOOONG poll.

Ace of Spades: One of a kind, usually the identity of the deck is in this card.
King and Queen of Hearts: Wonderland. Enough said. ::)

hard to decide between the 7 of heart and the seven of spades... I love the number seven for some reason, I just find it really intriguing.. oh and my girlfriend has a few sevens in her birthday so that might be the case as well  :P  and yes, aos for the unique design, aoh somehow attracts me as well, must be the never before seen romantic side of me hence the hearts

King of hearts- The Suicide King, there's more to it than that but I'm not going to go in depth
Jack of Spades- Sort of a "jack of all trades"
Three of clubs- the number 3 has always been one of my favorite numbers and this became one of my favorite cards when me and my ex were still dating, she called clubs puppy paws haha

4 of clubs because it's the first svengali deck I ever used in a performance.


5 of diamonds because I do a few tricks with that card specifically


Jack Of Hearts because I said so.

Can you add the option to change your vote? I voted ace of clubs instead of ace of spades... 
Ace of spades - For obvious reasons! Also, the main fact is that it usually has the most artwork on the face of the card, in comparison to any other card in the deck.
Four of hearts - Four is my lucky number, and it just seems that whenever I cut a deck, the four of hearts happens to pop up. But I guess it's all psychological, eh?
King of hearts - The Suicide King! First card that I was taught that had a certain significance.

So many people relating cards to ex significant others haha

My top three would be the King of Hearts, Ace of Spades, and Jack of Hearts. Those are all great cards!

Queen of Spades = my all time favourite because her personality and mine are the same! We're both bitchy when needs be. And it reminds me why I broke up with my ex ^_^ so yeah Queen of Spades forever!

Eight of Diamonds = Eight is the luckiest number in Chinese, and Diamonds represents wealth so yeah... I wish I win the lottery (didn't make sense)

Ace of Spades = Always has awesome artwork in every deck nuff said.

Jack of Clubs, to represent me.  Jacks aren't as flashy as Spades, black suits are more masculine than red suits, and I like being the power behind the throne.
Queen of Hearts, to represent the love of my life.  Simple enough - it's the most commonly freely-chosen card by women during a magic trick.
2 of Hearts, to represent a relationship.  I guess there are a lot of romantic associations with playing cards.


I do have a group of favorites that I like using for a card trick.  I do a stunt using a stripper deck where I show a poker player how to cheat at poker - he deals himself four aces, but unwittingly deals me a straight flush.  My favorite choices for the straight flush are the 5 through 9 of any suit but diamonds.  All 15 of those cards have one-way faces, allowing me to insure they're turned the correct direction in the stripper deck before I shuffle.  I enjoy the 8 of Hearts in particular because I have the WOW trick in that card!
