The source mentions the following people who contributed to the development of card magic:
Luca Pacioli - a mathematician and monk who wrote a manuscript called De viribus Quantitatus (On the Power of Numbers), which contained information on mathematics and common card tricks.
Giovanni Giuseppe Pinette (known in France as Chevalier Joseph Pinetti) - a master of tricks, probably one of the first to publicly declare himself a magician.
