French's Extraordinary Aces

HERE'S a different method of doing the 'Four Ace Trick' using the
reversed principle and eliminating all palming and intricate sleights.
As in the usual methods, the four A's are removed from the pack and passed for examination as the pack is returned. In turning to the table to get rubber band, the magician makes the Half Pass, i.e. makes one half of the pack face the other half. The rubber band is snapped around the pack and the A's are slid under it on to the top of the pack. Now secretly reverse the pack so that the A's are on bottom. Taking off the three top cards and calling them (Aces), they are laid on the table by the performer. As the third card is laid down, the magician reverses the pack and picks off the top A, glances at it and says; 'and lastly we have the Ace of which we will place beside the others.' Under cover of this misdirection the pack is reversed again, and three cards are counted off the top on to each of the first three (Aces). As last card is laid on the third (Ace), reverse the pack again and draw off the three real Aces and stack them on top of the fourth A. Force this pile and finish to suit yourself.
You will find that the spectator's eyes will follow your hand to the table when you lay the cards down, thus securing perfect misdirection for the reversing of the pack.
