The Mystical 13 Effect Explained
Imagine this: a spectator freely selects two spot cards and one picture card from a borrowed deck, placing them face-up on the table. You introduce the intriguing concept of lucky numbers—the American '7,' the Chinese '8,' and your own '13,' tied to specific cards. Using a separate deck, you seemingly randomly insert the spectator's chosen cards face-up into the face-down spread. The atmosphere is casual, the choices appear unguided, yet a meticulously planned magical journey is underway, setting the stage for wonders to come. The beauty of 'Mystical 13' lies in its ability to feel spontaneous while being completely under your control, ensuring maximum impact.
Astonishing Ace Production and Discovery
The magic intensifies as you remove the three face-up spectator cards from the spread, along with the adjacent face-down cards. With a dramatic flourish, these three face-down cards are turned over to reveal them as the first three Aces! But the routine doesn't stop there. The missing fourth Ace is then located using a brilliant mathematical principle derived from the original three spectator-chosen cards. The spectator counts down to a specific number in the deck, and there, waiting patiently, is the final Ace. This layered approach ensures continuous amazement, building anticipation with each magical reveal and leaving no doubt in your audience's mind about your skill.

Original Specs
Perfect for the beginner but strong enough to fool a pro!
The spectator is given a deck of cards and is requested to place face-up onto the table， two spot cards and a picture card. The performer mentions that the number 7 is considered a lucky number among Americans， the number 8 is considered a lucky number by the Chinese， but 13 is the performer's lucky number for certain cards in the deck.
Using a different deck， the performer places the spectator's three chosen cards face-up， into his face-down deck， by a random process.
When the deck is spread face-down onto the table， the three face-up cards are removed along with the face-down cards adjacent to them. The three face-down cards are turned face-up to reveal they are Aces. The fourth Ace is found by adding the values of the original three cards. When the spectator counts down to that number in the deck， the missing Ace is located.
AND FINALLY AS THE KICKER， THE ENTIRE DECK TURNS BLANK!
