Namaste and welcome to Joker and the Thief’s campaign for Psychonauts Playing Cards, our next big custom deck! What is a Psychonaut? - From the Greek “Psyche” meaning soul. And “Nautes” meaning sailor. A psychonaut explores the subconscious mind via altered states of consciousness. Typically induced by meditation, psychedelic substances, or holotropic breathing techniques. A psychonaut explores reality beyond the perception of the five senses, and documents the experience. The spiritual insights gained while on a psychedelic trip are then integrated into normal life. A psychonaut is guided by divinity, and seeks the understanding of reality itself. So, come and take a journey with us into the depths of the mind!

Presenting the second in the Diffractor City Series, VXD Gaming brings you the London Diffractor. Designed by VXD Gaming and Lance T Miller and produced by Vrijdag Premium Printing, the London Diffractor decks use the patented printing technology developed by VXD Gaming (US. Patent. No. 8,777,225), which combines a standard layer of ink printing, as found on normal playing cards, with an additional hot-stamped layer of transparent holographics, of the type typically only found on passports and other ID documents. This combination produces an entirely unique look within the playing cards industry and presents new possibilities for design expression and sets a new bar for luxuriousness. The result is a mesmerizing combination of holographics and ink, lighting up at different angles and in different lighting conditions and producing a combined artwork which tells a story of the heritage of London.

Our tip: For best effect, we recommend viewing under a single bright light source such as a halogen spotlight, with ambient lighting around (such as daylight) cut to a minimum. Casino table lighting conditions are ideal, for instance.

London Diffractor - Classic

The Classic Deck showcases a layer of individual custom transparent holographics on every card front, plus transparent holographic foil on the card backs. The omission of an additional metal foil layer on the card backs gives this deck its real classical look. For the purists and artisans. These decks are numbered and limited to 499 and will never be reproduced!
