Patter for sandwiched aces

I find this trick beautiful. I just would like to know if any of you has a good patter for it. The one I use is not very good. Thanks!

Matt. You're not Spanish or something are you? Nada x aqui...

Maybe it's not the correct name for it. The effect is a selected card is inserted between the two black aces, reloaded to the deck, and found between the two red aces. My standard patter for card tricks is that my cards are very wild and do whatever they choose to do. They get in here, show up there, etc. I don't have anything to do with it. This is ok for some routines, but I feel it's not the best one for this.

I don't have my own routines taped, and I just had a quick look to see if there's any good clip around, but I haven't found any, so sorry.

I use a little story about cards and their mateing season for this trick.

I'd explain that it was currently mateing season for playing cards and to demonstrate I'll take your card and pop it between these two black aces.

Depending on the colour of the card they chose, I'd change the patter slightly.

If they chose say a red card, I'd explain how red and black cards are a different species and can't mate with each other, it'd be like a cat trying to mate with a rhino. So the red card would go off to find other red cards to mate with.

If they chose a black card, I'd explain the black cards were the males and red cards were the females. Your black card wont have much fun with other black cards so he'd go and find a couple of sexy reds to hang out with.

It was quite a nice little story which always got a good laugh.
