The spectator chooses a card, which is lost in the deck. A magic pass, and a card mysteriously turns up face up in the center of the deck; but against all odds, it is not the one chosen by the spectator: it is the 5 of Hearts. The magician then counts the cards one by one from the 5, and the fifth one turns out to be... the chosen card. The four cards that were counted to get to the 5 of Hearts are turned face up... they're the four Aces! And as the icing on the cake, the magician shows that he couldn't have done it any other way, since the other cards in the deck are shown: they're all blank!

A direct Ace Assembly... with a surprising climax! The four aces are displayed in a row on the table. Three indifferent cards are shown, and placed on top of the Leader Ace.

The magician shows the four Aces, and twelve indifferent cards (which are the 12 court cards of the deck, to make the contrast as clear as possible).

Each time, the packets of four cards are shown clearly: no extra cards, no missing cards. The trick is completely clean at every stage of the routine. This is as close to perfection as you can get!

A great classic of magic from Dominique Duvivier. The magician takes the four Aces and the four eights. All cards are signed.

The magician explains the difference between magicians and gamblers: they don't use the same techniques, they don't have the same goals... He illustrates his point by showing how gamblers can lose the four Aces one by one in different, progressive ways, and how magicians find them again one by one! Success guaranteed!
