The "exact" protocol of the "Collector" principle as taught to Dominique by Derek Dingle is scrupulously respected here, namely: - The four Aces are placed face up aside at the beginning of the trick. - Three cards are chosen, and are lost in the deck. - The four Aces are put on top of the deck. - And without shuffling or any other manipulation, the Aces "collect" the chosen cards, i.e. they are found face down in between the four face up aces! Allan Ackerman proposes his own version, the techniques are original, and the chosen cards are really clearly lost in the middle of the deck (no Tilt Move!).

The four Aces are produced one by one. The magician thoroughly shuffles the deck between each production. To buy a regular deck of cards click here.
