I just performed a magic trick with a new Split Spades deck that may well surpass anything even David Blaine himself has done with one: I just won an honest game of La Belle Lucie with it on the first deal. - ZM

That is incredibly awesome.

I owned several Hoyle computer games, and La Belle Lucie was one of my favorite solitaire games therein. If I recall correctly, it played by a rule that makes the game slightly easier: a King is always moved to the bottom of its stack after each deal. Nowadays, another of my favorite solitaire card games to play is Vegas-style Klondike (turn the stock one card at a time, no redeals). It's very difficult to win, but very exciting when the right cards manage to line up.
