Hi, I'm magician Paul Weatherbee, and I'm
going to tell you a quick story. It's a quick
story about the royal family. You see, there
were four boats, and each member of the royal
family got on a boat. First, an ace got on
a boat, and then, a jack got on a boat with
one of the aces. Then a queen got on the boat
right behind the jacks, and finally, the kings
boarded the boats. A terrible, terrible storm
came up. Everything got all mixed up. The
ships were tossed. The hill was blowing, and
I'll cut the cards a few times just to show
you how mixed up things got. Here we go. After,
the clouds went away, and the sun came out.
All of the people that were on the boats swam
to shore. It was a very difficult time. But
then, when the sun came out and they looked
around, they all found that they'd found each
other on a separate shore. All the aces are
together, all of the jacks are together, all
of the queens are together, and all of the
kings are together. This is one of my favorite
card tricks, because it's virtually self-working.
All that you have to do is get the aces, the
kings, the jacks, and the queens, and just
follow the motions of the story. For example,
we'll put the aces down. The They each got
on a boat. Then you put the jacks on top of
the aces. You put the queens on top of the
jacks, and then you put the kings on top of
the queens. And then just pick them up, and
you can cut the cards and complete the cut.
As long as there's more than two cards this
trick will work. You can even have a spectator
cut the cards. And then just deal the cards
out, and the trick works itself just like
this. You see, all of the aces are together;
all of the jacks are together, all of the
queens, and all of the kings. Until next time,
have fun, and keep the magic in your life.
