  • easy

    easy to do but hard to explain, but i will try, if u genuinley dont want to no dont read this as this will ruin it for ya.

    he has 4 normal aces and 3 double faced aces the reason y they pop out face up is because they have another card face on the back of them to hide them in a face up deck, eg the ace of diamonds might have the 3 of clubs on the back etc etc. when he makes them dissapear he has something adhesive on the back of the last card in every pile, either double sided sticky tape or something simlar to bluetac called magicians wax, when he covers them he does whats called a pass in magic, very quick and very hard to spot, but he moves the back card to the front and presses the sticky side to the ace (note how he doesnt show the back of the card that used to be the ace). Also when he places the ace of spades down he takes it back over to the deck, which is where he gets the other three from, most likely from the bottom of the deck (dont get me wrong about this, he is extreamly skillfull and handles his cards flawlessly, i only know this cos i am an amature magician and i know how to do an effect that this was designed off called a dream of aces) .

  • I see some of it

    He really should not let video get out. If you watch it enough you can see what he does. He has awesome card handling skills. I don't like when the camera cuts away because you can't see what he is doing.

    In magic you watch what he is not showing you. That is the key.

    First shuffle: The only one I can see well is the last cut. You can see though, the cards he takes off the top go back on the top. He is an awesome card handler, so it looks like he is shuffling, but he is not. It is hard to see in the cut away but the close up is no mistake.

    Aces up: You can see the bottom of the deck ends up in his right hand. Three aces are on bottom. Spades is on top of the deck. Play it at half speed and you can barely see him flip the first three from the bottom of the deck. The first movement of the next shuffle it to take the top card (A of spades) and put it on the table. Then he puts the rest of the deck on top putting the ace on the bottom. When he splits the deck the bottom of the deck is in his right hand and he flips the ace out. Again, amazing card handling.

    Disappearing: Key in this is your mind thinking you have seen the back of every card. The first ace goes on the back of the three card pile. So the ace is on the back of the 9 when he flips it over. This is a delicate maneuver, but completely possible. Obviously he has put a lot of practice into this. The second one he puts the ace face out. His right hand covers the bottom of his left hand. He takes the card off the back of the pile slides it down his hand, and then slides it on front as he waves his hand over the cards. Then he puts the queen down (ace on back) and does not show the back. The next two cards he shows the back - to keep your mind thinking he has shown everything. The third is the same as the second. It is easy to see the queen of diamonds is in back as he picks up the pile, and is in front when the ace disappears.

    Reappearance: This goes back to his shuffling. It took me a while to figure it out. There are at least 7 aces in that deck. Three are on bottom when he started four are on top with ace spades on very top. Before he does the disappearing he has set the ace of spades down with the top three cards off the deck under it.

    This is purely from observation and I could be wrong, but I think I got it. Good luck learning this trick well enough to pull it off. It is all about showmanship and card-handling. He is good enough to get paid to do both. Any guy who can get paid to have fun deserves props.

    Before you argue watch in slo-mo and full screen at least once.
