After one shuffle all the aces come to the top. They are once again shuffled into the deck and are now found at the bottom.

You then deal a round of poker dealing all the face-up aces to yourself using the Nash Multi-Center.

A spectator selects a card and it too is lost in the deck. A second spectator names a number between 1-10. After a shuffle the top ten cards are dealt face up with the named number remaining face down. The selected card is the face down card and the missing card is found face up in the deck.

The spectator takes half the deck and springs the cards unto the table. You then use your half of the deck as tweezers and use it to pluck the selected card from springing cards.

The 13-minute card routine， which is usually used to close his shows， is a multiphase routine where selected cards are continuously lost in the deck and are repeatedly found between the two face-up Jacks. Each phase becomes more impossible as the conditions become more difficult until the finale when a merely thought-of card appears between the two face-up Jacks.
