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.

I 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.
