Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Before you begin your trick take out the four aces of your deck of cards and put them at the top. But of course filp them over. The picture is just to show you they are at the top.

  2. Step 2

    Then do a false shuffle. In order to do this type of false shuffle, shuffle like you normally would but when you reach the top of the deck make sure you keep the 4 aces in the same spot.

  3. Step 3

    Now have your spectator take the deck and cut it into 4 piles. I have the aces turned face up so you can see where they are. Tell your spectator that they can make the piles as big or small as they want.

  4. Step 4

    Have him now take the first pile which would be on your left and take the top three cards off the top and put them at the bottom. and then take the next top three of the pile and put those 3 cards on the top of the other piles. Tell him it can be on which ever pile he wants, except for the pile he just took the cards from.

  5. Step 5

    Have your spectator do the same for the other three piles.

  6. Step 6

    Now for the finish! Remind your spectator that he did everything. Tell your spectator to flip over the top card of each pile. You will see the amazement in their face as each card turns out to be an ace!
