This cool little card uses special printing to create a 3D effect that can be seen with the naked eye.
The cards are made using micro-nanolithography technology to create a 3D effect that can be seen without the need for special glasses.

Clips of the cards have been gaining popularity online as folks struggle to wrap their heads around what they’re looking at. You can check it out for yourself in the clip above.
