🪐 Original prototype product (from 2017). Patented playing cards – Featuring fully custom transparent holographics on front and back faces. Playing cards in black paper sleeve, sealed with numbered sticker.

🪐 Solid metal (Polished Anodized Aluminum) black case, with magnetic closing and laser etching on 4 positions.

VXD playing cards were conceived with one primary goal in mind: The ability to customize the fronts of the playing card (where the real action takes place), while preserving the classic, traditional look. The patented addition of custom security-type transparent holographics to the traditional ink artwork, for each of the 52 (+jokers) different card fronts, allows exactly that. The playing cards are given a subtle, flashy edge as well as an additional layer of detailed embedded custom artwork to strengthen the identity and message of the deck.

The handling (slip & glide) of these playing cards is also top-notch and totally unaffected by the enhancement. So cardists, magicians and game players alike can enjoy the added visual flair, with no compromises! All cards have linen effect texture on both sides of 310 GSM German black-core paper.

First Day Issue decks are limited to 499 of the Black and 299 of the Stars & Stripes set. These decks are laser etched with ‘First Day Issue’ on the cases as well as printed on the Ace of Spades, the decks are sealed with a numbered sticker (eg. 050/299) and the Ace of Spades also has ‘secret’ holographic signatures of both creators.

Apart from the traditional tuck box, none of the video or the photos shown have been digitally created or enhanced – all images are shot from the physical product with zero trickery. What you see is what you get!

The traditional tucks will be available in all three colors (tuck color to match) and can be specified at a later date. The current image seen is a digital rendering and may be further refined. Traditional tuck decks will be limited to 1500 in total (all three colors combined).

All Stars & Stripes sets come with wooden display case included.

Any deck which isn’t of ‘Traditional Tuck’ type comes in the laser-etched all-metal case. The card back color will always match the color of the metal case.

All ‘Traditional Tuck’ decks – the color of the tuck will match the card back color (which you choose). Branding & artistic embellishments on the tuck will be holographic.
