This is a great up close card trick that is perfect for any audience. It requires some practice, and a little bit of preparation, but once you know how to do it, it's pretty simple. Of course, because it requires some set up, you can only perform this once. So it helps if you have a few other card tricks up your sleeve, so to speak. This works especially well for kids, both to perform for and to teach, as it doesn't require any difficult sleight of hand maneuvers.
This is how the ruse will appear to your staggered audience. You take three Aces: Spades, Clubs, and Diamonds. You spread them out, holding them to the audience. Then you position them on top of the deck, and reorder and cut the deck numerous times, ensuring that they have been uniformly dispersed.
You then ask a helper to come up and look for the Ace of Diamonds. They will explore in vain, as they won't be able to find it. If you like, you can get an additional audience member to come up and look, but they too will be ineffective. Then you pull the Ace of Diamonds out of your shirt pocket. (Or your back pocket, or shoe, or wherever.)
Here's how to set the trap up. First discover all the Aces. Then put the Ace of Diamonds in your pocket (or shoe or wherever) beforehand. Then rest the other Aces on top of the deck. When you drag the three Aces off the top, and fan them out, make sure to hold the Ace of Hearts in the core. If you place both other cards on either side of the Ace of Hearts, it will look like the Ace of Diamonds to the audience.
How you expression this is important. If you talk about beforehand that you are going to make the Ace of Diamonds evaporate, they will be looking much more closely. But if you just start of by recitation what you are doing, and then name the three cards (Ace of Clubs, Spades, and Diamonds) they will likely believe you, and not stare too closely at the three cards.
One way that can unbelievably help is as you are shuffling and cutting the deck, is to divulge some long winded story about how diamonds have some kind of supernatural power, and in the old days when they were choosing the shapes for cards, they almost didn't choose diamonds because people were always stealing them, or they were always disappearing or something. That way, when they start thinking about the Ace of Diamonds, it will already be hidden someplace in the deck, or so they think. Have fun with this trick.
