Effect

Two spectators look at one card. Yet later on, they can't agree on which card was selected.
"It's the Nine of Hearts."
"No way! I saw the Ace of Diamonds."
What happened? And more importantly, what do you do?
Split Decision!

A card is very fairly removed from the deck and torn in half. Half changes into the Nine of Hearts...while the other half becomes the Ace of Diamonds. Yet the halves still fit.

Split Decision is at once memorable magic and the perfect souvenir (in fact, performing the trick creates two impossible objects!). What's more, Split Decision leaves the spectators with an impossible object and an experience they will never forget.

No sleights necessary. Each package contains the necessary custom-printed gimmicked cards as well as a detailed instructional DVD of Joshua Jay performing and explaining several handlings. Each gaff, custom printed by the US Playing Card Company on Bicycle stock, is uniquely designed to be torn in half and yet display two different values.

Let Joshua Jay, one of magic's rising stars, teach you the closing piece to his close-up repertoire!

Refill packs are also available.
