Fool Your Mates With One Of The Oldest Card Tricks In The Book – The Four Ace Card Trick

by Magical G on January 16, 2010 · 134 comments

Hey everyone

Finally! We’re back into the swing of things again and starting the new year off with a blast!

Inside today’s video, Jay Jay shows you one of the oldest tricks in the book – or at least that’s what I’ve been told! Because, when Jay Jay showed me the first time, I was really puzzled at how he did it.

In any case, watch the video, and see whether you can figure it out… we show the solution in any case if you cant

Talk soon!

Cool trick!

34 lmfaoo09 March 1, 2010 at 10:23 pm

[..YouTube..] nice one, but the last ace isnt really all that magicey cause all your doing is looking for a faced down card which is easy. Any way to make the last bit more magicey?
Thanks

35 Daniel March 3, 2010 at 1:17 pm

thanks really cool trick
P.S i think could be better doing an emsley count when ur showing the aces, no?

36 Danish March 3, 2010 at 1:30 pm

39 tricksterisme April 11, 2010 at 10:03 am

[..YouTube..] yes u can do an elmsley count

40 alexander April 15, 2010 at 11:47 pm

oh nice, it is one of the oldest tricks in the book, but the twist you put into it made it kinda obvious… i loved it BTW keep it up Jay Jay *put a thumbs up*

41 Colin Lee Andrew Kirkwood April 16, 2010 at 3:35 am

Jay Jay, it is a complete pleasure to have received the knowledge that you’ve allowed to escape!!! I appreciate the added knowledge that I have been able to add to my decade of learning!!! THANK YOU TONS!!! This trick is so cool and I’ve added the taking of a card to it and it is pretty decent!!! You have the ACES on top(knowing the bottom card) and ask them to take a card and use the key card factor, leaving it on top, show the top card(REALLY 3)being a ACE and turn over the other 3 ACES, put that on top and do the trick you just taught me and then it ends with their card turned face down in the middle of the deck!!! You should see me do it!?! THANK YOU!!!

42 Jay Jay April 16, 2010 at 1:57 pm: Thanks for your nice comments Colin!

awesome trick, amazing, p.s. how do you do the spread at 1:41 and do you need a new deck to do it, put on a tutorial please

47 Rudi April 16, 2010 at 9:49 pm

I know they say that the simpler you can keep something the better, but this is just insane! VERY cool trick!! I like and will try it as soon as I can!

Thanks Jay Jay

48 C.L.A.K(again!!!) April 16, 2010 at 11:17 pm

Jay Jay, Thank you and I appreciate your excellent response to my comment!!! It has become my most decent and astonishing illusion followed by a ‘Oh Yeah, and would that be your card!?!’
A decade of learning has been since my car accident(June 1st 2000) and I have become very comfortable with the learning!!!(Learning has always been my favourite aspect of life!!!) I do not have to work any longer and I am thrilled with the life I have but if you have anything that you could help set me up with and maybe work for you!?! I do not need ‘PAID’, Payment would be giving me something to do with my learned talent!?! Thank you, You’re AWESOME!!!

49 Itz mE April 17, 2010 at 5:38 am

OMG!!! Thats the shit!!!!! lol. That was nice jay jay. I understood how to do it but when u watch it, it may be confusing. OMG!!! when u showed the tut. i was amazed how easy it was lol. AMAZING!! 5/5

50 taw April 17, 2010 at 6:38 pm

Anastasia, he stays one card ahead. Go back and watch….he has all four aces out of the deck and a fifth card…the fifth card can be any card at all, but you DO NOT tell the audience you have five cards, only you…the magician, are privy to that information. Anyway look at the order of the cards when he puts them on the top of the deck…You make the spectator believe that you just put four aces on top, when in reality you have all for aces and then one other card on top of them……after this set up, you lay down four cards on the table, the spectator believes they are all aces, but remember….you had a fifth card so really , now you have laid out on the table three aces and another card (which in the video is a five) and you have your fourth ace left on top of the deck. Now what you do is place the deck on the number 5 card, the one thats not an ace, tap the deck and PRESTO! the Ace looks like it was on the bottom and made it to the top when in fact it was on top the entire time….if this makes sense to you go back and watch the video, he just stays one card ahead of the audience. I hope my rambling on helps you and not hurts you…. ).

51 Jeesiik April 21, 2010 at 1:23 am

Cool one, thanx for show!

52 C.L.A.K April 24, 2010 at 11:42 pm

I did enjoy learning this but when I tried to respond to (riffle force trick) I put this but was not able to send it through, so like you and most magicians, we find ways to make things work EH!?! -
This is my response to the riffle trick and I give you 2 thumbs up with a bit of understanding!!! -
Kind of cool and interesting that after a decade of learning, I had just learnt that riffle force and you did it fairly good but Knowing that you already knew the card before you even started made me watch and wait for the time it took and I must admit that you were a couple sentences too long but for those that do not know anything of what you did, it was superb!!! I have learnt many things and alot of it has been made alot better after watching you and your ways!!! Thank you!!!(C.L.A.K.) (I am going to do that trick for the next couple days and NO OFFENSE, You’re AWESOME but do you not agree that I should sell myself and not you!?! You’re already awesome and amazing!!! MY TURN!!! snicker,snicker!!!)

[..YouTube..] if you still dont understand how to do the first one put the four down put only three A s and leave one A on top of the deck and then put the deck on one A because he put in three A s so then snap your finger and then the A is their focus on his hand
