Next, you ask one of your spectators to cut the deck into four separate piles - more or less equal in size - in front of you in a line on the table. While they are doing this you need to make sure that you can keep track of which of the four piles of cards has the four aces on top of it!
Beginning with a pile of cards at the opposite end to the one with the aces on top, ask your spectator to remove the top three cards and move them to the bottom of the pile then to take the next three top cards of the same pile and place one on top of each of the other three piles of cards.
