A fully impromptu performance: you borrow a deck, let the spectator give it a thorough shuffle, no cull, no crimp, then claim you'll memorize the positions of the four Aces. You riffle down the deck and ultimately cut cleanly to all four Aces. A full performance is shown in the demo video.
Before you purchase this tutorial, here are a few things to help you decide whether it suits you.
1. Effects of this nature require a lot of practice. My handling strips away unnecessary difficulty and simplifies moves that are normally quite demanding, but it still requires solid work. This is definitely not a self-working routine. If you already have strong card fundamentals, you can master the technique smoothly after a few days of practice.
2. The demo uses estimation, though it doesn't require perfect accuracy. I'll teach you how to cut to the Aces even with a margin of error of about six cards. I'll also teach a no-estimation version, which uses a spread cut while the spectator has no idea what you're setting up - very deceptive.
3. I only teach how to control the four Aces; I do not teach Ace revelations. Since you likely already know many Ace-productions, this tutorial focuses strictly on placing the Aces where you want them (such as on top or on bottom).
4. Does this routine work 100% of the time? The only variable is where the Aces end up after the spectator's shuffle. If the Ace positions aren't ideal, you can simply switch the plot to cutting to four Kings or four Queens. So no matter how the spectator shuffles, you will always be able to achieve the effect.
