EASY MAGIC TRICK

Another easy card trick......
Firstly, secretly move the four aces on to the top of the deck. You can fake shuffle to your audience if you want, but make sure that the audience doesn't know that the aces are on top and that they remain there till this next step.
Cut, or even better, get the spectator to cut the deck into two. Make sure that you know which pile is the top half of the deck, the one with the four aces neatly stowed on top.
Then cut the deck again into four piles, making sure you take at least four cards from each of the two piles. Then you are ready for the next step.
Keeping the deck facedown, starting off from the pile furthest from the pile with the four aces, pick up the deck (still facedown) and move 3 cards to the bottom, then deal out the top card onto each of the other piles.
Then do this with the second pile, then third until you get to the fourth. Now, move three cards to the bottom of the final pile (with the aces on top, facedown) and deal out one card to each of the other piles. This means that every pile will have an Ace on top.
The final step casn be done in your choice. I often patter and say that the Royal family has had some tough times, cut-ups, breaks etc, but they will be always together. Then turn over the top card on each pile to reveal the Aces. Or, you can simply say that even with the randomness of the cuts, you will have a full suit of Aces. Then turn over the top card of each pile to reveal the Aces. This is one of my favourite tricks!
