THE EFFECT: The magician shows the four jacks face up with three cards under each jack. The magician then collapses the cards together and places each pile ontop of each other. After cutting the cards as many times as the spectators wants the magician begins to deal all cards into four rows face down.
With a magical gesture the magician turns over all the cards to reveal the jacks all in the same pile!
THE SECRET: This is an easy self working trick. Simply follow the trick as described above. Begin the trick with four jacks in four piles with three cards under each jack. All cards should be face up and staggered so they can be seen.
Pick up all the cards placing the four packets on top of each other. As long as they are kept in their packs you can pick up the piles in any order. Place all the cards face down onto a table and get a spectator to cut the cards as many times as they want. As long as the cards are only cut and not shuffled they will stay in the exact same order!
When they are happy with the number of cuts simply deal the the cards into four piles. When you turn over the cards all the jacks will be in the same pile. An amazing self working card trick!
TIP: While performing this trick make up some story that Jacks love to travel in packs!
