Iridescent Diffraction Foil
Alas, there’s no way the scan can capture the holographic brilliance of this card. You could think “aluminium foil combined with kaleidoscope” or you could just read the caption, which we quote here verbatim: “When light is exposed to this card it is reflected from the closely spaced parallel lines in the pattern, producing spectral colors. These iridescent colors are different from ordinary colors in that they change with movement of the card, light or position of the viewer.” In any event the effect is spectacular–and those paper clips move, too. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 30400141
Price: $7.50
