52 pickup

52 Pickup (or 52 Card Pickup) is a practical joke disguised as a card game. The first player asks the second player if he or she would like to play "52 Pickup" and if the second player agrees, the first throws the entire deck of playing cards onto the floor. The second player, who must be new to the game to fall for this practical joke, is then instructed to pick up all the cards, upon which the game ends.

This is a favorite game of older siblings to play on younger siblings. There are many ways to build up this game such as shuffling the cards several times and telling the other person to look closely for the card trick. Cards can be thrown up in the air or thrown out sideways to the floor. After the cards are on the floor, shout "Ok pick 'em up!".
