Hope you like it,

Nice, but I thought the last ace transposition was overhandled. After the transposition of the the third ace you place the fourth ace (clubs) on the packet, then deal it face-down onto the table. I'm having trouble seeing the justification for this (as an audience member). The same goes for the three aces then being added to the packet before being tabled face-down.

All of the above of course is just my personal opinion, and reflects my tastes and performance style. Your execution of technique was smooth and unhurried

If you have not seen it already, I recommend the Darwin Ortiz handling from his book/ DVD set At The Card Table called 'New Jazz Aces'.

The justification it's in the script, here I'm just doing a practice session, before I grab that last ace I ask to the spec something like ''do you know what the last ace is? It's the ace of...clubs, good, I'm glad your are paying attention'' wich not only justify it but helps in the misdirection,and I pick the other 3 and say something like '' in fact it's easy know what that ace is, because here he have the other 3, the spades, diamonds and hearts.'' That's how I do it. Michael does in other way, check his dvd. I know that Darwin version but in my opinion this is much better.

Thanks for watching,
