It is a type of reflector having matt white surface on one side & other side with a textured aluminium foil pasted fabric. You aim the flash towards the ceiling preferably with the head tilted at 45 degree which acts as a bounce surface & the card reflects some portion of light which refracts towards the subject. As a matter of fact you create two light source with the help of one bounce card.
