This is by far one of the most used card trick in my card act. All the spectators go crazy over it! You can see it in the card trick section of this page and see for yourself. For those who haven't seen it, it goes like this. The magician shows 4 face-up jokers and explains that one-by-one they will appear face down. After a second time dealing through you can see that one joker turned face down. After the next dealing there are two joker faced down. For the third joker the magician simply turns it over. Now there is one joker left. That joker turns over after the magician squares up the pile and refans the packet. Now there are four face down jokers. But when the magician turns the 4-card packet over, amazingly enough they are the 4 aces! There is unmistakingly nothing in his hands except the 4 aces! This trick is fairly simply to learn; any magician that knows the Hamman and Elmsey count will have no problem learning this. Strongly recommended and very affordable!
