It's Peter Kane's Jazz Aces trick, except the handling of the last ace is different. Instead of the last ace joining the other three as in the original routine, the last ace gets dealt face up, and the other three aces join it. Neat-o. Fooled the snot out of me.
I saw it. I'm interested in learning more about it. I don't have anything on it in my collections. So it's not mine to do. Does anybody know who devised this handling? Where (and if) it has been published? I keep thinking Darwin Ortiz, but I really don't know. Don't know Don't know
Will you walk into my parlour? said the Spider to the Fly,
Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy; The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, And I've a many curious things to show when you are there. Oh no, no, said the little Fly, to ask me is in vain, For who goes up your winding stair -can ne'er come down again. |

O’ Henry’s Aces a version of Aronson Aces, McDonald Aces, MF Aces, Grandpa’s Aces, and many others. It was discovered long before this, but It was first featured in the Trevor Lewis' prize-winning act for the Magic Circle in 1969. Later dubbed O’ Henry’s Four Aces by Frank Garcia in Super Subtle Card Miracles (1973). Reference: http://www.geniimagazine.com/magicpedia/Ace_Assembly
