2. Clown card, THEFOOL means fool. In western culture, people long for freedom and equality. In tarot cards, power is temporary and laughter is eternal. When playing cards were first introduced to America, there were no clown cards.

3. Poker manufacturers will put extra billboards with the same texture as poker in a deck of cards, and Joker will appear as an interactive image of advertisements or words.
