You show the audience four Aces, which you put on top of

the deck. Then you pick up the four Aces and give a spectator the

four cards underneath. When you show the audience your cards

they will not be the four Aces; the four Aces will be in the

spectator's hand.

 

1: Before you start your trick, gather the four Aces. Behind the

first Ace put four other cards.

2: Show the audience your four Aces, spread out in your hand,

like a fan. (Remember to hide the four cards behind the first

Ace.)

3: Place all eight cards on top of the deck.

4: Take the first four non-Ace cards, but do not show them to

anybody.

5: Give the spectator the next four cards (which are the Aces.)

Ask him not to look at them, just yet.

6: While the audience thinks you have the four Aces, turn your

cards over revealing that they are four other cards. Tell the

spectator to turn over their cards, revealing that they have the

Aces.

 

The trick itself is very simple, but believe me it gets the

audience's brains tingling.

 

Editor's note: You need to put the cards onto the deck before

you give some to the spectator. So that this isn't too suspicious,

you can pretend that you "just remembered" that you wanted to

give them to the audience member.
