Mexican bandits might look sinister peering over the top of their poker hand, but how much better would it be to be able to peer *through* your royal flush?
The centres of each club, heart, spade or diamond shape in this pack would be cut out, allowing players to study their cards *and* their opponents
at the same time.
Transparent Playing Cards

One of many such packs - it's already possible to see through your hand. [DrCurry, Dec 21 2005]

Not sure how this would work. Surely when
you hold the cards, the holes would be
offset. |

These are round holes, and only in the corner of the cards, right? Diamond, heart or whatever-shaped holes numbering one to ten might take some of the necessary surprise out of various games. |
|

zen_tom - good point. Yep, round holes in the top right hand corner would be more subtle, obviously. Maybe perforations would work so that you could totally see through the card? |

What accent is that [dentworth]? Riverboat spiv or Mumbai backstreet casino? |
|

Baked. I have seen transparent cards. The symbols appear as a white circle from the back but the rest of the card is clear.... |

Hi [Consul], it was on a commercial for M&Ms [re:chocolate mess]. but I think it was supposed to be a southern cowboy accent.. will email you w/ explanation of the latter. |
|

that's not fair, we all want to know about your cowboy! |
|

ok, the general reason I've been busy is I got a puppy! It's a corgi, he's beautiful and very smart. |

And that one was Sath Effrikan. |
