If this trick doesn't blow your socks off, your shoes are too tight! Bob Farmer
The Effect You count through four jokers... Each time you count through, one more joker turns face down, until finally all four jokers are face down. All with no funny moves, you're just counting through the cards. You then devastate anyone who thinks he might know how it works by turning over the cards to reveal that they are all aces. Extremely Powerful!
This is one of the hottest selling tricks of all time. Whenever we ask pro Magician's which card gaff packet trick they carry, this is almost always the one mentioned.

This is a great packet trick that I've done many many times, and it's always gotten me great reaction. Four jokers are shown face up and one by one they are turned face down. In the end, the cards are turned face up again but this time they are all aces. All four cards are cleanly shown front and back. This trick is almost instantly repeatable. There is one small move you need to do but nothing hard. Eventually the gimmick may wear out but you can easily replace it.
You have to love this trick, simply because you don't see the kicker coming. If you're a jaded card guy, you'd look at this routine and let out a yawn as you're thinking, "Big deal, you can do an Elmsley Count. Do we really need another version of a Sympathetic Card routine??" But then when you realize they were 4 aces, it's hard not to laugh and think, "Ok, you got me!"
So yes, this will get really good reactions... and it's not that hard to do at all. As implied above, you just need to be able to do an Elmsley Count, and you need to remember the brief handling sequence. The only problem is that you only end 3/4 clean. And after just having "seen" 4 jokers turn into 4 aces, the spectators are really going to want to see the cards. It helps that you can toss the cards around casually and show both sides. This will deflect a LOT of heat from the gaff, so for this reason, the lack of examinability is far less of an issue here than in other effects.
Generally, I'm not a huge fan of packet tricks, but this one is just so good, so surprising, and almost so clean, it won me over easily.

There are not enough words to explain how good this trick is. I absolutely love it! The "counting-part" can be a bit tricky at first but when you've mastered it this will be the first trick you open a show with and the last you end it with.

I like this

This is a very nice trick to carry around. I like it, and I perform it. I think most advanced or intermediate magicians may be able to understand how this works, but it is still well worth purchasing.
The trick is not too difficult to do, and can be learned with a few days of solid practice and rehearsal. While the trick limits the amount of patter, I think that the creative magicians will be able to use it for some type of story, or this trick is powerful enough to be done silently.
Buy it, it's worth the money and it's worth your time. I'm happy I purchased this, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice trick to add, but you must be willing to perfect the moves in order for it to be truly magical. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
and share your thoughts with other magicians!
