Effect: Magician cuts
a deck into four piles, turns over the top card on each pile
which turn out to be the four aces.
Card Trick:
Start off with the four aces on the top of the deck,
holding a
thumb break (finger break) under the top two aces
with your right hand. With the deck face down on the table,
use your right hand to cut about half of the deck and place
that half about two inches in front of the bottom half. As you
bring your hand back, bring the cards above the break with you
directly to the top of the first half. Using both hands now,
immediately cut both halves and place them to the left and
right of the first halves, forming a diamond shape. Turn the
top card on both the left and right piles over and place the
on the top and bottom piles, then turn the second card of the
left and right piles over and place them on the left and right
piles. Although you aren't actually cutting to the aces, the
illusion that you are is a very strong one.
