Deep Guilt Aces by David Regal

From David Regal’s wonderful book: Constant Fooling Vol. 2 .

Effect: This is a visually perfect Spectator-Cuts-to-and-Turns-Over-the-Aces effect. The deck ishandled by spectators during the effect, and indifferent cards are seen throughout, yet the spectator cuts to the four Aces.

Deep Guilt Aces ($15.00) is my favorite effect of the three. A spectator cuts the deck into four piles. The top card of each pile is placed face down in front of each pile. The top cards of the four piles are turned over as the magician discusses what would have happened had the spectator cut one card deeper. The four cards on top of the piles are indifferent cards. The four cards in front of the piles are turned over. They are the four aces. This was one of the tricks on the Regal videos that caused me to instantly hit the rewind button. It fooled me, and it would probably fool you. The deck involved is gaffed to the hilt, so you’re going to have to figure out some type of deck switch if you want to incorporate this trick into a series of card routines. It’s worth the effort though, because the trick looks extremely clean and is a deep mystery.
