HI, I am looking for at sitting down 4 aces closer with 4 aces already in play
I open my routine with Ben Earl 4 aces production from less is more Then go into Randy revelation from Randy Wakeman present I then ring in an extra aces for Gabi Pareras's invisible Palm aces My patter is revolved around gambling theme Currently my closer is ambitious card routine from card college using aces of spade end with Harry lorayne card to pocket sequence But overall I'm not too thrilled with it, I much prefer a sitting down routine with 4 aces If possible, I also want to avoid the Packet trick such as Twisting the aces and Dr.daley last trick Though I don't mind having a card chosen by a spectator Any thought would be great Thanks in advance |

If gambling is your theme, you could perform a poker deal routine. If you don't mind culling four cards, the Gardner/Marlo Poker Deal or the Lorayne Poker Deal would be fitting closers.

Here are my thoughts.
Firstly in the narrative of the act how do you motivate two ace tricks that essentially produces the aces (Ben Earls and Randy Wakemans). The reason I ask is unless you have a good motivation I think you might be doubling up on the effect front even though they might produce in a technically different way. For the final I noticed that you said that you ring in extra aces for the invisible palm routine, if that's the case then a trick that could get extra uses of those aces would be Ted Annemanns Four Ace Stage Presentation out of his book Annemanns Card Magic. Essentially its an ace assembly with some nice proving points that help enforce the idea that there are only four aces and also gives you an opportunity to ring out the extra aces at the end of the routine. As the name suggests it was intended for stage platform use but I cant see why it cant be adapted for close up work. I think an assembly routine could create a good narrative link from the invisible palm aces because one could be themed as a demonstration of technique well the other of technique demonstrated in the context of a game etc. I'll leave the artist decisions to you however.

I really quite like the cutting-the-aces effect. Obviously, there's the Vernon one, but Ricky Jay's is stunning, as I'm sure are many others. Whether you'd want to close with this is something best left for you to decide, but to my mind, a good clean dead cutting sequence is beautiful, either as a skill demonstration or a magical location.
The only other thing that springs to mind would be Larry Jennings' Ambidextrous Travelers, or maybe a triumph with the four aces instead (again see Ricky Jay). |

I am taking about learning Ricky Jay's Four Ace Triumph, it is amazing to watch and would love to do it Ina routine.

You could do some form of travelers effect since you already like cards to pocket.
Obviously Vernons is the starting point however others that I like are Tom Stones, Steve Reynolds, Larry Jennings. Although most often I perform Danny Archers as it has the kick back that jennings has without being stupidly difficult. |

Paul Gertner has a great 4 ace routine "These are the aces, these are not." Can be found with many other great routines on his Steel & Silver set.
Guilt will betray you before technique betrays you!

Vallerino has some great stuff in "Card Fantasies." It's a little lyrical, but it's amazing.

This is one of my favourite gambling themed routines. It involves a spectator selecting a card and builds to a strong surprise finish. It may fit the bill for you. This clip just shows the handling but I hope you can see your own presentation for the routine. https://vimeo.com/126767591 Best, Greg

Have the aces pass through the table.
See "Four Through" in Harry Lorayne's "Best of Friends" Volume II. |

Humbly offer this mix and match. I hope Instagram links work (are allowed) my apologies if not.
https://instagram.com/p/BGOizgKHgly/ Aces lost in deck and spectator blindly finds them. easily attachable to a gambling routine. I do like a closer where the spectator does the magic. The Aronson funski four for four switch also a wonderful four card force. |

Thanks for all the inputs guys
I went through all the suggestion above and I decided to go with Aces through the table type of effect. I first check the Best of friends 2, and loving the premise of the effect and then I've found Ascanio had the similar effect using Cardboard I have altered the handling slightly and changed the prob used I am now very happy with the result. |

You might want to try a multiple selection routine with 3 cards and go into "Collectors" using the 4 aces. My recommendation would be Mike Powers "Impossible Collectors." It is exceptionally clean.

You could end by switching the 4 aces for a royal flush sitting face up on the table with the ace on top then say "But know whats better than 4 aces? A royal flush!" as you spread them out.
Reality is a real killjoy.

When the four aces have been revealed, I do the following: put them on top, the two red beneath the black. Have a spec pick a card and Marlo tilt it between the aces. Take off top four cards and use elmsley count to show 4 aces. Lay them out on table. Shuffle top card of pack (the last ace) to bottom and reverse it before cutting it into the middle and tabling the deck. Use magician's force on the 4 tabled cards, so you're left with their chosen card, which they think is last ace. Reveal last ace is actually reversed in deck and you're holding their card.

I love to end a four aces Routine with the deck in new deck order. Very strong, especially if the spectators have shuffled the deck before the routine. Of course you need to find a way to set up the deck secretly during your routine or to switch the deck. But the impact that climax has is worth the effort.

Cy Endfield's Aces for Connoiseurs could be an elegant closer. Michael Vincent taught his version in his DVD set.
For Aces through the table effects, I really love Gabi's. I am not sure if it has been published though. |

It's not their senses that mislead, it's their assumptions.
