This is a really simple but entertaining little card trick in which you can produce in a novel fashion, a superb poker hand of cards.
The effect:
From a shuffled pack, the four aces mysteriously rise to the top.
Preparation:
You will need to secretly separate the 4 aces from the pack and put them on top of the deck.
Here’s how the Aces High poker card trick is done:
First of all, give the cards a shuffle using the number 3 technique in our False Shuffles page (in our Card Sleights section of this web site) Ask a spectator to cut the deck into four, more or less equal separate stacks in front of you in a line on the table. As they do this make sure that you remember which of the four stacks has the four aces on top!
