Card techniques are deeply rooted in both Brazilian and American magic traditions. In the USA, card magic is a central element of professional magic performances and street magic. In Brazil, card techniques are popular in magic communities and entertainment, though less emphasized in gambling culture than in North American contexts. The term carries both legitimate connotations (stage magic, entertainment) and illegitimate ones (cheating at games).
