Description & Effect
Unleash a Classic Monte Effect
Prepare to captivate your audience with Nick Trost's 'Australian Aces,' widely regarded as one of the most ingenious and baffling monte routines ever devised. This isn't just a card trick; it's a masterclass in misdirection and psychological play, designed to leave even the most astute spectators utterly bewildered. From the moment you begin, you'll establish an engaging premise, setting the stage for an impossible demonstration of card magic that defies logic and expectation.
The Deceptive Journey of the Black Ace
The routine commences with an open display of four aces: three brilliant red Aces of Diamonds and a single, striking Ace of Clubs. You invite your spectator to keep a vigilant eye on the black Ace, a seemingly simple task. To make things even 'easier,' you openly remove one of the red aces, placing it face down on the table. With just three cards remaining in your hand – two red and one black – the challenge intensifies. You boldly position the black Ace between its red counterparts, making its location seemingly obvious. Yet, time and again, your spectator will fail, as the black Ace mysteriously vanishes from your hand, only to reappear on the table.
An Impossible Transformation
The magic doesn't stop there. This incredible sequence of misdirection is repeated, with the black Ace continuously eluding detection, always ending up in the most unexpected location – the card previously set aside. Just when your audience thinks they've finally caught on, predicting the black Ace's next move to the table, you deliver the ultimate magical punch. What they believe to be the black Ace on the table is, in fact, a red ace. And in a stunning visual climax, the three cards in your hand, moments ago displayed as red aces, have now unbelievably transformed into ALL BLACK ACES! This final revelation is a powerful, unforgettable moment that will solidify 'Australian Aces' as a truly legendary piece of card magic.

Original Specs
Nick Trost's Australian Aces is quite possibly the best monte on the market!
You openly display four cards (three Aces of Diamonds and an Ace of Clubs). You then ask the spectator to follow the black Ace. To make things easier for the spectator, you remove one of the red aces and set it aside, face down on the table. You show the remaining cards (two red Aces and a black Ace) in your hands. Next, the black Ace is put between the other two red Aces. The spectator fails to follow the black Ace because when the three cards are shown, they're ALL RED ACES and the black Ace is now on the table! The entire routine is repeated-but again the spectator cannot follow the Black Ace because it has ended up back on the table!! Now for the best part! The third time the spectator guesses the black Ace is on the table, but it's really a red ace... and the other three red ace cards are now ALL BLACK ACES!
