To prove to the public that this gathering of aces really happens, the magician does the same thing three times... And each time it's even crazier!  

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). The cards are arranged in four packets: one Ace under each packet, three indifferent cards on top. The Aces magically pass one by one into the leader packet. 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!  

Four thieves, symbolized by the Aces, pass one by one through the deck, then when they are caught by the gendarmes (symbolized by the cards in the rest of the deck), vanish... and gather in the packet chosen by the spectator! The saga of the gendarmes and the thieves, "Renélys style"!  

1970 was a special year for Dominique Duvivier in many ways: it was the year he turned 20, it was the year the Beatles (one of his favorite musical groups) broke up, and it was the year the famous Jerry's Nugget cards (his favorite cards) were manufactured. With these inspirations, Dominique Duvivier concocted a wonderful routine based on "Ace Assembly", with a scenario taking all these elements into account. A real gem!

This video is the live version of "Collector 3 Chosen Cards" already published on Double Fond TV. The "exact" protocol of the "Collector" principle as taught to Dominique by Derek Dingle is scrupulously respected here, namely: - The four Aces are placed face up aside at the beginning of the trick. - Three cards are chosen, and are lost in the deck. - The four Aces are put on top off the deck. - And without shuffling or any other manipulation, the Aces "collect" the chosen cards, i.e. they are found face down in between the four face up aces! This version conceived by Dominique Duvivier is a real miracle!

Did you like "Shitty Ace Control"? Then don't miss the rest of it: it's even faster and easier... It's a dream!  

An “Ace Leader” routine unlike any other since the Aces are represented by four 8 of Spades, and the indifferent cards by Jokers. The 8s join the "8 Leader" one by one, and at the end, the four 8 of Spades transform into four Aces, thus fully justifying the name of the trick as "Ace Leader"!  

In this routine, we go through the different types of Ace Assemblies. The routine is divided in three steps: Classic Ace Leader, Progressive Assemby and Reverse Assembly. In each step, four packets are made; in each packet, there are three indifferent cards and one Ace. 1- Classic Ace Leader: All the Aces travel instantly in one packet (the Ace Leader packet). 2- Progressive Assembly: The first Ace disappears from the first packet, and is found with the Ace in the second packet. Then the two Aces disappear, and end up with the Ace of the third packet. The process is repeated one last time, and the four Aces are found in the Leader packet! 3- Reverse Assembly: In this variation, we start with a Classic Leader Ace, and for the climax, all Aces mysteriously and instantly travel into their original packet! Guaranteed impact!  

A very clever Ace Assembly followed by some interesting poker tips! And the finale is very unexpected.  

An ace assembly routine that is a bit peculiar, since aces end up returning to their original place.  

A complete routine with multiple effects, games and comedies with the audience... We start with the Saga of the Aces: they mysteriously travel several times in different ways. Then we end with a kind of game, where the spectator loses repeatedly!  

A version of the "Cannibals Cards" designed to really fool magicians. Two cards are chosen freely. They disappear one by one when introduced among the four Aces, which are presented as cannibal cards. Everything is clean at the end, the deck is handed out for examination. Impact guaranteed!
