Ace Thang is a close-up card magic trick that involves finding all four aces in an impossibly short time frame, followed by a series of visually stunning transformations and revelations. The trick starts with the magician challenging themselves to find four aces lost in the deck within a set time limit, which they accomplish in an impossible manner. The aces then assist in revealing a spectator's chosen card in a magical and unexpected way.

Cameron Francis masterfully combines 'Ace Thang' and 'Spin Cycle' into an impromptu, visually striking routine. 'Ace Thang' starts with a challenge to find four aces lost in the deck, which then appear in impossible spots. 'Spin Cycle' reinvents the Hofzinzer Ace Problem: a selected ace turns face up, the packet is cut into the deck, and with a twist, all aces turn face up except the selected one, which magically changes into a spectator's chosen card. The routine flows smoothly, uses normal cards, and is packed with visual surprises. Pros: No special cards needed, highly visual, and impromptu. Cons: Mastering the timing and sleights takes practice.
Takeaways:
- Combines two tricks into a seamless mini-set.
- Uses normal cards and is impromptu.
- Highly visual with a strong climax.
- Requires practice to perfect the timing and sleights.
