I have been a big fan of decks made by James R Eads for a long time - and this deck is a homage of sorts - combining both the Prisma Visions and Cosma Visions in one deck using lenticular printing. What an absolute treat!
The deck comes in a larger box that splits the deck into two piles with a large guidebook which fits in the box - the guidebook is thin but it covers every card meaning impressively. One little thing to be aware of - the cards can bend a little in this box set up - so if you want your cards to stay ‘flat’, you might want to explore other storage options for these special cards.
Each card arrives covered in a thin film which you can peel off (otherwise the cards end up creating a huge/thick deck and are impossible to shuffle altogether) - the peeling process is a great way to familiarise with each card.
I find the lenticular printing used for this particular deck is of such high quality - probably the best example of lenticular printing I have seen so far - and the illustrations and how they transition between images is soooooo good!
I have done my best to take photos of some of the cards showing both images together - it is really hard to photograph these cards to show them at their best, so be aware that sometimes the quality isn’t the best in the photos, but the cards in your hands will be perfect!
If this is your first introduction to a James R Eads deck, lucky you - two decks in one and a unique, tactile and beautiful experience from the first time you pick up the deck. This is definitely a ‘wow’ deck that would be a great addition to any divination deck collection - woohoo!

Deck description and specifications from the Prisma Visions website:
TWO DECKS IN ONE
A 79-card shifting tarot & oracle deck and a large-format guidebook that covers upright and reversed meanings. This second edition includes the 79th card Garden Chimes and Water Song
Cosma Visions Oracle was designed as a mirror reflection of Prisma Visions Tarot with 78 cards offering an alternate perspective on the tarot major and minor arcana using the idea of past lives as the blueprint. With these two decks so intricately entwined, it only made sense to fuse them as one, Mirra Visions.
Mirra Visions was created using a lenticular technique that results in captivating, shifting imagery that allows you to see both the Prisma Visions Tarot card and its Cosma Visions counterpart on one surface.
Includes the 79th Mystery card, Garden Chimes and Water Song
Cards are approximately 2.75" x 4.75" with identical backs.
Cards have lenticular faces with vibrant imagery that shifts between two images.
The Booklet included in the box explores the hybrid imagery of each 79 cards and their associated meanings. This booklet does not include reversed meanings.
The Box is a durable box with a padded insert, magnetic closure and an iridescent rainbow finish.
