Something we think can't be done has. But not things that actually can't be done. Hmm.

- Fully customised, poker sized KEM?
- Paper for the deck is geniune payrus reed
- 3D printed tucks
- Procedural printing - patterns are printed by rules rather than proofs making every deck different.
- Hand crafted and foiled brick boxed
- 4-dimensional hyper cards
- Self fanning cards.
- Borderless cut (perfect registration)
- Polarised coating - cards only visible if held directly in front of you - no peeking at poker!
- Elastic cards - simultaneously poker and bridge sized
- perforated cards - cut holes are part of the design / laser cut cards
- embossed cards
- fully gilded USPCC runs
- Free everything
- Decks come bluetooth enabled (everything's better with blue tooth)
- Actually shiny metallic inks
- Magnetic ink
- Heat reactive ink
- Anti-cheating lie detector cards (measures heart rate and galvanic conduction through touch)
- Edible cards
- Actually magic cards. When you whislte Sorcerer's Apprentice they dance about.

LMAO - OK, we've gone from reasonable to insane. It is something that supposedly can't be done, but has. All I can say. Keep those guesses coming, nothing correct so far.

I actually came up with a crazy idea when I saw Deco's sideways pips, and mentioned it to Paul (who rightly said I was crazy). So here it is, print the cards sideways, so Kings can hold court, Queens can do....whatever it is Queens do, Jacks can joust. And of course, the sideways tuck. USPCC did that for the Espionage deck...

How about photochromic inks on the cards? (that means you have to go outside to see the pips)

Cards that fold out like a hinge to reveal even more amazing art. Kind of like this?

so the face still has the card, the back has it's pattern, but it bifolds to reveal even more amazing, unique art for each card

i think that they are going to be transformer cards.

when you fold them together in a certain way they will transform into a huge robot called.

the red cards will be called: Cardimus Prime.
the black cards will form his bitter enemy Cardatron.

When all 1000 decks are activated they will all go to war against each other, and the victor will control the world, but will appoint Lotrek the Ruler of the World.

This is all the dark evil plot of Lotrek, to rule the universe.

Mike R: So Lotrek what do you want to do tonight?
Lotrek: The same thing we do every night, Mikey - try to take over the world

The cards themselves, or the tuck box, have some kind of laminate film so when you look over the card or the tuckbox, something hidden/secret is revealed

Augmented Reality cards. You scan the cards via phone cam or webcam, and you see the courts pop up in 3D!
Or cards that change color (within their hues of course).
