JUMBO Aces
by Al-Quadir Marsh

Based on Jon W.
"One-arm Mac" McDonald's $100 Ace Trick from
the 1950's, here is my second variation for performing a JUMBO card solo version of the
effect on stage with lots of magical appearances and
disappearances of the cards, thanks to Jim Gerrishs
Attractive Card principles used. Jim helped
me make the cards and I showed him what to do with them.
The parts highlighted in RED are what's NEW!
EFFECT: The magician opens a box of jumbo size (5
x 7) playing cards and removes the deck. The box vanishes. From the deck of cards, he removes the four
aces and places them on a tilted music stand that holds a
Post-It display board where they can be
easily seen. The
rest of the deck suddenly vanishes,
leaving him with a single King of Hearts playing card. No
matter, he picks up each of the three minor aces (hearts,
clubs, diamonds) and suddenly each ace has two companion court cards,
the king and queen of its matching suit.
Now comes the
McDonalds Ace part of the effect. Each
of the minor aces is placed between its two royal court
companion cards, and suddenly the ace vanishes,
leaving only the companion cards behind. The Ace of
Spades is picked up from the display board, and the four
missing aces are found hiding behind it. (Optional Ending) Suddenly all
the aces and court cards are back in the playing card
box, which reappears just in time to toss the entire
packaged deck into the air where it vanishes completely.
Unlike
many of Jim's Jumbo Card effects which you print out and
assemble yourself, this one is made from inexpensive (source
given) 5 x 7 factory-made JUMBO playing
cards (two boxes of cards required).
