The Hindu shuffle, overhand shuffle, and swing cut are the most common shuffles used by card magicians.
This project features three routines where I use these classic shuffles to locate the four Aces—simple, practical techniques with no crimp involved.
Hindu Shuffle Aces: A cyclic cutting routine where the four Aces are found one by one from the middle of the deck during a continuous Hindu shuffle. The principle can be applied to other shuffle types, but the Hindu shuffle version feels the most natural.
Swing Cut Aces: During a swing cut, the deck is divided into four packets, cutting to an Ace in each. A very fast and straightforward four-Ace production.
Overhand Aces: The four Aces are produced from different parts of the deck during a single overhand shuffle.
All are standard sleights—no crimp.
