Mastering the Timeless Ace Assembly
The Ace Assembly is a revered classic in card magic, traditionally attributed to the French magician Conus in 1853. This stunning effect sees the four Aces, initially dealt face down with indifferent cards, mysteriously gather into a single packet. Its enduring appeal lies in its clean, visual impact and the myriad of creative variations magicians have developed over the centuries. This volume dives deep into this timeless plot, showcasing why it continues to enchant audiences worldwide.

Prepare to be amazed and enlightened as you learn from six masters, each presenting their unique take on the Ace Assembly. Witness Bill Malone's incredibly visual routine, featuring a method that's as clever as it is effective. Bruce Cervon raises the bar with his innovative use of Aces with opposite-colored backs, adding an extra layer of mystique. Alex Elmsley will teach you how to make the Aces not only assemble but do so right in a spectator's hand! Dan Harlan's variation uses odd-backed Aces in an unbelievably fair sequence that defies explanation, looking like pure magic. Simon Aronson provides a graphic demonstration of why you never let anyone touch your poker hand, while James Swain closes the volume with a version where a spectator actually chooses the packet into which the Aces assemble.
As Hugard and Braue noted in 'Expert Card Technique,' the Four Ace trick has garnered immense thought, and the performances and lessons in this download are a testament to its enduring power and versatility.

ACE ASSEMBLIES
The invention of the classic trick where the four Aces are deal face down, three indifferent cards are dealt onto each, yet the Aces mysteriously gather into one of the packets, is usually attributed to the French magician Conus. However, ever since its original publication in 1853, magicians are still coming up with amazing variations of this timeless effect and enchanting audiences with them to this day.
