contents We extend Bloch Sphere formalism to pure two qubit systems. Combining insights from Geometric Algebra and analysis of entanglement in different conjugate bases we identify Two Bloch Sphere geometry that is suitable for representing maximally entangled states. It turns out that relative direction of coordinate axes of the two Bloch Spheres may be used to describe the states. Moreover, coordinate axes of one Bloch sphere should be rignt-handed and of the other one - left-handed. We describe and depict separable and maximally entangled states as well as entangling and non-entangling rotations. We also offer graphical representation of workings of a CNOT gate for different inputs. Finally we provide a way to also represent partially entangled states and describe entanglement measure related to the surface area of the sphere enclosing the state representation.
