#9 The Magic Ace Trick
This is a routein using several advanced card slights: the double lift, the one hand center palm, the one hand bottom finger slide palm and the back slip card change slight
It starts with a double lift showing the Ace, but behind it is a dummy card, then the two cards held as one are placed on top of the deck, then the dummy card which the spectator thinks is the Ace is placed into the center of the deck, then the top card is turned over to show the Ace is "still there" magically
Next the real Ace is placed again into the center of the deck, but it is slid back slightly to the rear and palmed into the left hand using the very difficult slight, the one hand center palm, then the right hand deck is turned over to show a different card on it's bottom face, this is done as a misdirection move, then the right hand places the deck face down into the left hand quickly which places the Ace on the bottom of the deck, then the deck is turned over to show that the Ace has magically jumped to the bottom of the deck
Next the right hand performs the one hand bottom finger slide palm and palms the Ace into the right hand... then quickly the deck is placed into the left hand and the right hand deposits the palmed Ace on top of the deck... then the top card is turned over to show that the Ace has magically jumped from the bottom to the top of the deck
Next the cards held in the left hand, are riffled thru by the left thumb and stopped at some place, at this point the right hand takes the top half of the cards but at the same instant the back slip slight is performed using the tips of the left hand, which places the Ace which was on the top of the right hand pile, onto the top of the left hand pile... then the right hand points to the left hand pile and the top card is turned over on the left hand pile, revealing the Ace, so it appears that the Ace has magically jumped to some place in the middle of the deck...
