Ultimate 4 Ace Location!

I like this, not a lot, but I like it...

It's a David Regal routine, but I've added a few of my own sleights to improve the effect! Again, comments welcome! Thanks.

Really great! You fooled me with your well executed DL! Oh, and very nice sleight to retrieve that Ace Of Spade!

Ah, yes – the DL at the end for the final Ace (not executed that well, to be honest) but the move to – a kind of ‘Misdirection Palm’ – was shown to me be Roy Walton. I just love this trick – the fact that it is a 4 ace assembly from the off cleverly hidden under the guise of a location means the kicker at the end is quite unexpected by most people! Thanks for the comments.

Very nice indeed. I only know the basic doing of this trick. The separation of the aces that is. I can't do the finding aces part yet and even if I could, my flourishing and such isn't that good yet to control them that well. :(

Anyways, good job. And I'd have to agree, the DL wasn't the best but it was good. Just a bit more improvements there needed. :)

Hm...very interesting that routine, a brilliant idea and well-executed too :).

The only thing is that I tend not to like 4-ace assemblies, I find them a bit too clunky (you know, like the 21-card trick but not that bad). I was wondering whether it would be possible to switch the aces for the kings or something (not too sure on the mechanics so it may not be possible) and thus get ready for an ungimmicked NFW. If you picked up a double with the AS then you would have enough cards... it's not really thought out very well but it's an idea :)

Hmmm Kati – I think that is a case of ‘guilding the lily’ ever so slightly!

Remember - “Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's genius!”

Thanks for your feedback all the same!

Hey

This is an extremely visual effect, with lots of flourishes through out. The ting I love about this 4 ace location is that you can throw in as many false cuts and flourishes as you like and it would still flow perfectly.

I love this trick and have managed to get it to a performable standard today so I will try it out tomorrow and see what reactions I get. I think I will be using this routine a lot.

Also one suggestion - when you show the first 3 piles to be of random cards; what I have done is I put them in sets of Jacks, Queens and Kings - which personally I think rounds the trick of nicely and it gives more of a reason to put the 3 cards on top of each 'ace', and I feel this will become apparent to the specs. at the end of the trick. Also it looks very impressive because you have managed to control 12 cards in total instead of just the four aces.

But I still love the way you have performed this tricks, and I think the smoothness and the way it flows is just superb :D

Overall super effect - just love it

Great Work
