One of the hardest card tricks in the world is where the Magician finds the four aces in a deck that has been thoroughly shuffled. Such a trick normally requires years of practice and hard work. However, here is a simple version of the trick that is easy to do and will convince people that you must be a master Magician.
How The Trick Appears To The Audience
The Magician hands a pack of cards to a member of the audience and asks them to shuffle the deck thoroughly.
He then asks them to cut the deck several times.
The magician takes the pack and puts it in his pocket.
He says he is going to try to find four special cards.
He reaches into his pocket, and after a bit of searching, removes one card and places it face down on the table.
He does not allow anyone to see the card.
The Magician keeps on doing this until he has removed four cards.
He asks the audience if they believe in Magic.
Regardless of the their answer, he turns the four cards face up, one by one.
Each card is an ace!
How The Trick Is Done
Like all good tricks, the secret is simple. However, it is also very bold, so you must carry it off with confidence.
Before you do the trick, you remove the four aces and place them in your pocket with the faces towards your body. This is important because you will want to bring them out face down when you are performing the trick.
When you are ready to do the trick, hand someone the pack of cards and ask them to shuffle and cut the deck as much as they want to.
Do not mention anything about the aces.
Then take the pack and place it in your pocket in front of the four aces. The pack is next to your body and the four aces are on top of the pack.
Say you are going to perform a very difficult trick and your are going to try and find some special cards in the deck.
The audience will be left wondering what you intend to do and it all adds to the suspense.
Reach into your pocket and after a bit of dramatic searching, remove the top card of the pack and place it face down on the table. Do not let anyone see which card it is.
Repeat the same procedure with the other three aces.
You are now ready for the big finale.
Tell the audience that one of the most difficult tricks in the world is finding the four aces in a pack of cards.
Turn the cards over one by one and watch the expressions on their faces!
