Slippery Aces

This is one of Stanley Collins' fine effects with four aces. Mr. Collins is a well known English magician.

Four aces are laid on the table in a row, faces up. Three indifferent cards are placed on each ace, faces up

also. The indifferent cards are then placed in one pile and the aces in another, backs up. Performer replaces indifferent cards on deck. Cards are now dealt from the deck into four heaps of four cards each. One of the heaps is selected. The other heaps are turned over and shown to be indifferent cards. The heap of aces is turned over and that, too, contains indifferent cards. Finally the selected heap is turned over and is shown to have changed to the four aces.
