"Floating Aces" by Bruce Cervon

Ultra Cervon, page 9.

This is a beautiful, direct and magical card trick. The four Aces rise to the top of the deck one by one, and then as a group. Don’t let the simplicity of the description distract you from how startling this is. And to laymen, the ability to control the Aces in a deck and invisibly bring them to the top is one of the few magic concepts that makes any sense.
