is very easy, not a secret & @ move, just done casually as the cards come together to be squared up and? replaced face down in the’Leader po- sition. At this Stage the order of the cards in the “> Leader packet is AC-AD-2H-AS +9 a from the top down. © nm . 17. The supposed vanish of the last Ace is again hand- led as explained in Step 12; however, this time the face down card in this last row is really the AH. Anyway you have threg rows of cards Fig. 8 and each has 3. cards face up and vue card Tace down which you have not shown as yet. Also you have not confused the effect Since only. the arrival of the Aces has been pointed up. 18. After handling of the third packet the Leader packet is picked up as you say, "And now over here we have one Ace, twa Aces, three Aces, four Aces." This patter line is delivered as you do the “Swindle Aces" moves from the "CARDICIAN"; however, a capsule des- cription will follow. First of all you do not call attention to the suits of the Aces but merely count them off as you apparently show four Aces, one at atime.
