Possible for two players to view the same deck in a game?

Hi, I'm going to assume no but figured I'd ask just in case. All the players in the game have GM mode. Is there any option/function where two players can share/view/play cards from the same deck while other players in the game still cannot view their cards? Thanks!

As far as I know, it's no.  I'd be interested enough to enter into a Testing game with you, if you want.  You might be able simulate that arrangement with an API Mod Script ("Dealer" or write your own), on a subscriber account.  You probably already know that Card Decks can have the Settings that other GM's and other Player's can see the Front face of Cards in each Player's Hand; Or, the setting to let others see the BACK of cards (meaning, effectively, the Cards in Hand are Hidden). So while you can expose the contents of everyone's Hand to everyone else... this violates one of the features you wanted of having the Hand hidden from some GM's but shown to other GM's.  It's dancing around your request, but the end result seems to be No, but i'd like to hear if you find a way.  BUT with creative workarounds in the VTT.... Maybe?  Let's get out of the Hands that attach to Player Avatars in Roll20 card decks interface. Let's move over to the tabletop Canvas area.  You could maybe simulate this in the tabletop canvas area, like this: Method ON PRO with Dynamic Lighting mode: Draw 2 boxes of dynamic lighting walls. Give each Player a Token with Vision. Put the tokens 2 players you want to share into 1 box. Put the other players into the other box, or, each player's token into their own box. Play the cards onto the tabletop, with shared cards in a shared box. Anyone with their token outside that box won't be able to see what's in it.  Method on FREE accounts: Different Hands are on different Pages in Roll20, use Split The Party feature to have different groups of players seeing different Page(s). Play the Cards onto the Page and don't use the Hands feature. 
Thanks for the reply. I'm also not seeing any option and I'm thinking not many people who want/need this option to make anyone look into it adding it.
