Psychic Ace is a brilliantly simple thought-of card routine utilising the Pickford Retention Switch. Paul introduces the Ace of Spades as the most powerful card in the deck and places it inside the card box. A spectator is then shown a group of cards and merely thinks of one, nothing is removed, written down or physically selected. The performer never needs to know the card, because the Psychic Ace does all the work! When the spectator names their thought-of card, the impossible is revealed: the card that was placed in the box at the beginning has become the very card they were only thinking of. It is clean, direct and wonderfully commercial, with a strong plot that makes the magic easy to follow and impossible to explain!
