Description

Jazz Aces was inauspiciously introduced to the magic world in 1971 when Peter Kane published Another Card Session. It was a fortuitous event because it appeared about the same time the Elmsley Count was gaining favor with magicians from coast to coast. Like weeds in an open field, packet tricks were also popping up everywhere. Furthermore, Kane’s routine clarified the transposition aspects of basic Ace Assemblies. Using only 8 principal “players” (cards), his action procedure was simple and direct. Best of all, the final transposition was squeaky clean. As a result it did not take long for Jazz Aces to contagiously spread to every nook and cranny in magic world and, once that happened, the creative gentry began meddling, modifying, and finding ways to improve what they assumed was fixable.
