This is my favorite set of three Ace Assembly routines. In the classic Ace Assembly, all four Aces ultimately gather in one location. My sequences keep the core effect, but each ends with an unexpected kicker.

Exchange Transfer: All four Aces assemble in one packet, then instantly separate to four different positions. And it still isn’t over—if I truly have the power to transfer Aces, I can finish with one final effect.

Jump Set: A jumping Ace transposition. The four Aces start in four separate locations. One Ace vanishes, and the next packet now contains two Aces; those two vanish and the following packet holds three; the three vanish and all four Aces appear in the last packet. In the end, the Aces return to their original positions.

Assemble Collector: The four Aces are isolated in four locations, yet when they assemble, they help me locate the spectator’s three selections.
