This is my style of magic! No flourses and everything is natural. The performance is a bit slow, but with the right patter could be the right pace. Nice and simple. Also I like the separation of the first effect "finding the spectators card" and the second effect "all cards have been straightened out" and the third effect "the 4 aces appears" . Personally I would try to seperate effect 2 and effect 3 a bit more. This can be achieved if the cards are spred out slightly different and making sure that the spectators first register that the cards appears all to be face down. First when this incredible possiblity register, I would spred out the remaing cards in the middle displying yet another miracel - the 4 aces has turned over.
I am currently away from my private magic libary so I cannot give any precise reference at this stage. I think the display by daryl is still possible and would enhance the effect slightly since this will prove beoynd any doubt that the cards initially are in a complete mess.
Magic is slight of mind!
