Another favorite from Penguin Magic. This is an instant download that is sure to knock the socks off of your spectators. Four aces are shown and dealt face up. Then three cards are dealt face up on top of three of the aces, and three cards are placed under the leader ace. Each face one-by-one vanishes and joins the leader ace. Very visual. I recommend the demo video on Penguin Magic for this effect. I really enjoy this trick, and there are great things covered in the routine. Even if the trick is never performed, learning the sleights of hand involved with the trick is more than worth the price of the trick itself. I love how the spectator is involved, and the final ace joins the others when the spectator has their hand on top of the stack.
Pros:
definitely has "wow" factor
excellent teaching style from Oz Pearlman
sleights of hand are covered in detail, and shown in a simple manner
Cons:
there is some setup for the effect
Don't let the setup scare you away. Like many great tricks there is some setup. Some magicians really like to make sure to have impromptu routines, which is understandable for table hopping. If you're just wanting to show an excellent card trick - this is definitely one I would recommend. Jaws drop, people get freaked out, and some people get so wigged out they might ask you to stop showing them magic tricks. Like I've said before with this routine... Even if the trick is never performed, you can take the elements learned and apply them to other tricks or make up your own effects.
