78 = 22 + 56

HISTORYTarot began as a 15th-century Italian card game (tarocchi; the Visconti-Sforza decks), with 22 trumps added to a 56-card suited pack. Its occult use dates from Antoine Court de Gébelin's 1781 claim of an Egyptian origin, which is false; the cards are Italian. COMPUTED78 cards: 3-card ordered spreads with upright/reversed = 78·77·76·8 = 3,651,648. A perfect out-shuffle of 78 cards restores the deck after 30 shuffles (the order of 2 mod 77). Shuffle live. FOLKDivination; any reading is Barnum (see the Forer demo).
