When you split all the cards you will have 52 cards, write 4 A's at the top and and bottom corner (look at the next photo) two in black two in red. Then write 4 2's, 2 in black and two in red.

Do that until #10. Then do that with a J, Q, and K. If you have no idea at what I'm talking about look at the picture to the right.
