52 Pickup (also called 52-Card Pickup or Pick Up 52) is a practical joke using a deck of playing cards.
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 scatters 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. The name is derived from the fact that a full deck of playing cards (excluding jokers) contains 52 cards. If the person is familiar with 52 pickup, then one may attempt to trick them into playing by calling the game by a different name.
