The Four Jacks



You will need: Ordinary deck of cards

Effect: Four jacks are shown and placed on the top. Three of them are put in the middle separately and then, all four jacks appear back on top.

Tutorial:
 * 1) Show your spectator the four jacks by putting them faceup on the top of the deck and fanning them out. When you do this, make sure to spread out three more cards.
 * 2) As you're squaring up the cards, make sure to get a pinkie break under the four jacks and the three facedown cards below it (a pinkie break is a separation between the cards above your pinkie and the rest of the deck).
 * 3) Pick up all seven cards and then, put the first three jacks on top one by one.
 * 4) Then, put the fourth jack (with all the other three facedown cards directly below it) on top of the deck.
 * 5) Take off the top jack and then, take the three random cards and put them in the middle. The spectator will believe that the cards you're putting in the middle are the jacks.
 * 6) Turn over the top three cards and show that they are the three jacks.
