Effect:

The spectator splits the deck into four piles. The magician takes the first pile and places one card from the top of the first pile onto the bottom of the three other piles. Then, the magician places a card onto the top of the other three piles. The magician does the same to the other three decks. The magician flips over the top card of each deck and reveals that all of the cards are Aces.

Preparation:
  • A deck of cards
  • Place the four Aces on top of the deck

Procedure:
  • Do a fake shuffle so that the top four cards are not moved
  • Ask the spectator to split the deck into four piles. (A, B, C, D - D being the pile with the four aces.)
  • Take Pile A and place a card each from the top of the first pile onto the bottom of Piles B, C and D.
  • Do the same for the other three piles
  • Flip over the top card of each deck.
  • Amaze your spectator.
