A Hard Ace To FollowMartin A. NashFeaturing Infinity Martin is demonstrating the difference between coincidence, or luck, and sleight-of-hand. This is a lovely routine where a spectator selects a card that is lost in the deck. The four aces are shown and one ace with the same suit as the spectators card magically turns face down while the aces are held by the spectator. Perhaps a coincidence. Then another card in the remaining deck turns face down. Luck?!

The premise is a game of cards with a card sharper. You deal cards and the sharper counts his cards. He has 6 cards.

Only the last time he is left with 4 cards. Since you can't play poker with 4 cards he adds a card but still is left with only 4 cards. This continues until in the... | $6 to wish listMP4 (video) | |
