Designed by Herb Hancock of Ontario, Canada. Published by Stancraft Products of St. Paul Minn., under the brand name Hoyle. The Split Deck Playing Cards box includes two split decks, one with red backs and one with blue backs, and a rule book explaining how to adapt several games for use with the split decks: Bridge, Cribbage, Rummy, Hearts, Poker. When holding a hand of several of these cards, they can be fanned out to show the white halves, or rotated and fanned out to show the yellow halves instead. These will be two very different hands.

Fox Lake Gaffs and trick decks were standard in the 1970s, long before 'Bikes' became the standard deck for magicians. The Split Deck was one of many trick decks made by Fox Lake ( Haines House of Cards).

This deck is signed by David Blaine with Black Ink . This Split Spades deck is made in the establishment of a magic class by David Blaine with Studio. The first 10,000 students who enrolled to the class will receive a complimentary gift of this exclusive deck: one signed for collection and one unsigned for use. Colors are randomized and you can't choose what color you will get. The identical Jokers feature an illustration of a bald guy spewing ravens with few of the birds perched on top of the head and trees sprouted from the ears. The two extra cards featured an illustration of Asi Wind's magic book and a step-by-step guide to do Charlier Cut. This Split Spades is marked for order number of a Mnemonica Stack [but the deck comes in New Deck Order].
