Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Take any card and place it on top of the ace of spades on the top of your deck of cards. The ace of spades is now the second card from the top.
Step2
Use the pad of your pinky finger to hold a break between the top two cards and the rest of the deck. This is known as the pinky break.
Step3
Pick up the two cards as one and show the audience. They'll think you only hold the ace of spades.
Step4
Place both cards back on the deck.
Step5
Take the top card (which is actually the six of hearts) and push it into the center of the deck.
Step6
Give the deck a shake and reveal that the ace of spades has magically returned to the top.

on 11/22/2005 Put 2 cards on top of the Ace of Spades. Do a "triple lift" by lifting the top three cards (as one) to show the face of the Ace of Spades. Turn them face down on top of the deck and place the top card in the middle. Do a "double lift" by lifting the top two cards (as one) and show that the Ace of Spades has returned to the top. Turn the cards over and place the top card into the middle of the deck. Do a magical gesture (and say a magic word). Get the spectator to lift off the top card to find the ace of spades back on top of the deck.

on 11/22/2005 Place the 5/clubs on top of the 4/clubs. Do double lift to show 4/clubs. Place both back on top, and place 5/clubs half way into deck. Use finger to hide upper pip, and show card. It will look like the 4/clubs. Push in and finish as before.
