52 magic cards
Poker is played with 52 cards, that is one deck, but sometimes it uses multiple decks also.
The cards are ranked from high to low starting from Ace to King and going down till 2. Ace can be either high or low, usually it is high. A poker hand always has 5 cards and the highest hand is the winner. Sometimes, wild cards are used which can be jokers, or few others as specified. There are various types of hand ranks; where, Five of a kind is the highest possible hand like five of aces, five of kings etc. This involves use of a wild card. The straight flush is a simple hand where the all the 5 numbers are in a series. Depending on the sequence the ace can either be high as with king or low with the number 2. A Royal flush is the highest natural hand where ace is high. A Full House is a three of a kind and a pair. When all 5 cards of a hand are of the same suit, regardless of the sequence, then it is called a Flush. The Three of a kind has three of a kind and two other cards but they need not be same otherwise it would be Full House. Two Pairs have two pairs of a kind and a single card. Pair is when there is only one pair which is of the same rank and three different cards. In case there is no clear hand, or a tie, the highest card wins and is called High Card hand.
