I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to all on here. I'm one of the founders of VXD International and we make Diffractor Playing Cards, which are unique playing cards that have custom transparent holographics stamped individually into the front of playing cards and also on the backs too. We can fully customise the holographics and one of our missions is to be able to offer super low runs of personalised transparent holographic decks, for all magicians and cardists or anyone who loves playing cards! We also design and make some crazy solid metal cases for these super-flashy playing cards...well, why not eh? Here is a glimpse:

I hope I can contribute something to this forum in the years to come.

Thanks, Andrew.

Welcome Diffracturrrr,

Very pretty to look at, possibly distracting.

Hello Mary

Thanks for the reply.

The cards are actually very subtly flashy to be honest....the holographics are transparent and so they don't show all the time. It's hard to explain. For visual impact, we of course show the full effect on the promotional video, but the real impression is a lot more subtle.

I am no a magician myself no, but I like to watch, as I do cardistry and even poker etc.

I'm an engineer (of Highway Bridges Design) originally and am technically minded and I've got very into the technical aspects of playing card manufacture over the last few years. I am obsessed with playing cards themselves, which of course facilitate magic. That's my input / connection.

Take care and regards

Andrew
