I was at the store today to pick up a new pack of cards and saw a Bicycle deck that only had 48 cards. It was called something like a Pinochle deck or something. What are they and what are they used for?

They are used for the game Pinochle.

As a child I purchased a small pack of cards at a church rummage sale one time.
The box only showed 3 suits on the front though there were all 4 suits, the cards were narrower than even bridge cards, and had no numbers or letters on them. I eventually noticed that it was a deck of cards from 9 up, and used them for euchre. Looks like they were meant for the game 66. |

Pinochle is a great game. But I was playing it with my family the other day,
and they asked me to do a trick for them. I was wondering, does anyone know of tricks, or a card book, that focused on magic with pinochle deck? Seth |

My only concern with this would be that since people would know that there was a dupe in the deck it might not be as amazing and they might figure it out. Still, worth a thought |
