Perfect for the beginner but strong enough to fool a pro!

The spectator is given a deck of cards and is requested to place face-up onto the table， two spot cards and a picture card. The performer mentions that the number 7 is considered a lucky number among Americans， the number 8 is considered a lucky number by the Chinese， but 13 is the performer’s lucky number for certain cards in the deck.

Using a different deck， the performer places the spectator’s three chosen cards face-up， into his face-down deck， by a random process.

When the deck is spread face-down onto the table， the three face-up cards are removed along with the face-down cards adjacent to them. The three face-down cards are turned face-up to reveal they are Aces. The fourth Ace is found by adding the values of the original three cards. When the spectator counts down to that number in the deck， the missing Ace is located.

AND FINALLY AS THE KICKER， THE ENTIRE DECK TURNS BLANK!
