Very nice. The hand movements were a little bit jerky but that's the worst I can say about it.

I thought you should have used more visual vanishes of the aces, but apart from that its a good start, just practice a little.

Its just that American Whiney voice. Trick was good though!

So i take it this is just another version of Penguin Magic's Ultimate Ace Assembly just with D****e S***d cards? Who came up with this version? Anyone know?

Cheers and good work!

Hmmm...actually McDonalds Aces is the original, beating the Penguin version by about a century. It was invented by Johann Nepomuk Hofzinser in the 19th century and was originally known as 'Power of Faith', I believe :D

Not bad but you may get specs spotting that you put the face up aces in the face down packet, particularly the first one and I think that this raises a suspicion, even with the use of the flustration count.

I'd work on the vanishes a little more but otherwise it's a good handling.

After watching your vid again snicket I noticed you are very quick about the revelation. this is the magic and really milk it for all its worth. Speed for the rest was perfect for a viedo without patter as the viewer is fully concentrating on the hands of the magician but perhaps this would be better slowed as well when doing it for real.
