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.-- Fishrat, Dec 20 2005 Transparent Playing Cards http://www.naturest...invisiblecards.htmlOne 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.-- st3f, Dec 20 2005 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, Dec 20 2005 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?-- Fishrat, Dec 20 2005 Theeese cahds ah mahked... whatever-- dentworth, Dec 20 2005 What accent is that [dentworth]? Riverboat spiv or Mumbai backstreet casino?
..and where you been?-- ConsulFlaminicus, Dec 20 2005 Baked. I have seen transparent cards. The symbols appear as a white circle from the back but the rest of the card is clear....-- Minimal, Dec 21 2005 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.-- dentworth, Dec 21 2005 that's not fair, we all want to know about your cowboy!-- po, Dec 21 2005 ok, the general reason I've been busy is I got a puppy! It's a corgi, he's beautiful and very smart.
Merry Christmas to ME!-- dentworth, Dec 21 2005 And that one was Sath Effrikan.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Feb 19 2018 random, halfbakery
