The ACE playing card is often associated with notions of excellence, superiority and top quality. For example, in advertising imagery it can symbolize ‘the best’ or leading in a particular field (eg flying ace, ace high, an ace up one's sleeve).
Combining an ACE playing card with a magic wand and a conjurer’s hat evokes a sense of magic, enchantment and the ability to make things happen seemingly without any effort. This combination might suggest that the advertised product has the power to transform situations, offering magical or extraordinary experiences... “Tu momento más dulce del Día”.

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
