Disney Princess
Disney Princess lenticular playing cards. Each card has two images, one when viewed straight on, and another when viewed from a side angle, giving the illusion of 3D movement (the scans below show a feint ghost of the second image). The four suit symbols have been changed, and each card is the same across the suits.
Above: Disney Princess lenticular deck (available from your local Toys R Us store) made by Cardinal Industries Inc., USA, 2014. The result is rather bulky cards, about twice the thickness of traditional playing cards. Images courtesy Matt Probert.

View ArticlesI have adored playing cards since before I was seven years old, and was brought up on packs of Waddington's No 1. As a child I was fascinated by the pictures of the court cards.
Over the next fifty years I was seduced by the artwork in Piatnik's packs and became a collector of playing cards.
Seeking more information about various unidentified packs I discovered the World of Playing Cards website and became an enthusiastic contributor researching and documenting different packs of cards.
I describe my self as a playing card archaeologist, using detective work to identify and date obscure packs of cards discovered in old houses, flea markets and car boot sales.
