Does any have an effect called "The Four Ices" it is a kind of cockney 4 Ace effect, and uses 4 cards with Ice cream cones on?

Thanks

The full routine, which I think is called 'Gorn' is in David Hemingway's new book. Stand-Up Magic Routined. £22 inl of p/p Cheques made out to J D Hemingway.

It is the classic Jumbo Four Aces under it's catch phrase name.
Four Ices is on a Tommy Cooper video but he does fluff the ending up a bit too much.
All you need is a cloth cap, a neckerchief & a feke mouthstache. ( This is how the late Geoffrey Robinson used to perform it, and he made it famous) and the Jumbo 4 Ace trick with 4 cards containing pictures of 4 different ice cream cones. Also I can well remember harry Stanley( the Unique Magic Studio) demming it as well.

Update:The book arrived today, well printed and very well packed. David H devotes 9 pages to 'Gorn' i.e. The 4 Ices.
He tells you how to make the fekes, and there is the full patter, moves & handling in the Ken Brooke style of instruction. It's a full treatise.

Although he himself has a differetn ending all you have to do, at the end, is substitute ' And here are the 4 aces, Strawberry Ice, Rasberry Ice, Lemon Ice & Choc Ice( or use your own flavours) in stead of ' and here are the 4 aces'.

The other Stand Up Routines/explanations are all tried and tested , in performance, ones as well. A great buy for the Stand Up Performer.
