The back of the cards features a beautiful hand-drawn watercolor two-way design with floral themes such as vivid-colored flowers and leaves which are contrasting the navy blue background. The tuck box teases its' contents with a preview of the cards, with intentionally muted colors to differ from the back design while also preserving all similarities.

Original Playboy Femlin design playing cards were produced in 1973 by USPCC (Bicycle stock) and were avaliable in Blue and Red.

Inspired by the intensely curious works of Escher, this deck was meticulously designed and illustrated to create a reality-bending deck in the most sincerest form. Good illusions blur the lines between dual designs, trying to persuade you to see something not quite there. But great illusions solidify those lines to transform these designs into unmistakably new perspectives. Large windows blend the boundaries between cards and box. Each deck in this year’s collection contains a singular perspective that controls the “reality” of the designs inside it, creating a stunningly visual change to the actual cards themselves. Will you be of the King’s persuasion and see his crown ? Or will your deck be captured by the Queen revealing a completely DIFFERENT set of pieces in tow? Bring home the world’s first dual perspective changing deck and keep a piece of playing card history for your shelf. This deck truly takes the genre to a whole new level. A quick video shows the utterly stunning visual change side by side between one “reality” and another to truly appreciate the amazing results these small perspective boxes can do.
