Flask card trick

Background

I used this as part of a little card trick for a friend's birthday.

About

This is a simple Flask server that displays a unicode playing card (see table below) which can be preset or updated. The default card is a card back (🂠).

Usage

Requesting the route / will display the current card (default is a blank card back).
The card can be set by requesting the route /u<new_card> (u is short for update), where new_card is a case-insensitive card name consisting of an index and suit (see table below).

Example values: 3c (for 3 of Clubs), 10d (for 10 of Diamonds) or as (for Ace of Spades).
The 2nd step can be repeated as many times as desired.
Requesting the route /r will reset to the blank card back.
