The Vanishing Diamond

Effect : Three aces are shown, the club, spade and diamond. You turn them face down and place them, one at a time into a full pack of cards and have a volunteer shuffle them. Now have them find the aces. They can’t find the Ace of Diamonds – then you pull it from your pocket!

Secret : You really have the Ace of Diamonds in your pocket at the start of the trick. The Ace of Diamonds that you show is really the Ace of Hearts held upside down and covered with the two black aces as shown in the top illustration. This creates the illusion that you are showing the ace of diamonds. Once again - the rest is acting!
