Phase 1. Take out the four jacks from the pack. As you are looking for the jacks palm four random cards in your left hand -- make sure no one notices this.

ex: "Ok ladies and gents. This magic card trick is called the four jacks. I'll take out the four jacks from the pack. Here's one, here's two..."

Phase 2. Place the deck face down on a table. Put the jacks on top. Pick up the deck with your left hand -- placing the four palmed cards on top of the jacks.

ex: "So these four bad boys decided to rob a house, represented by this deck. They went to the house."

NOTE: the audience now thinks that the four cards on top are jacks, but they are actually the four random cards you palmed earlier.

Phase 3. Move the top card to the bottom of the deck.

ex: "The first jack went to the cellar."

Phase 4. Move the second card somewhere in the base of the deck.

ex: "The second jack went to the ground floor to have a look."

Phase 5. Move the third card somewhere in the middle of the deck.

ex: "The third jack went to the first floor of the house."

Phase 6. Move the fourth card somewhere to the top of the deck.

ex: "The fourth jack went to the second floor of the house to snoop around for the valuables."

Phase 7. Introduce the police. Tap the top of the deck four times.

ex: "Someone called the cops and the jacks all ran to the penthouse floor."

Phase 8. Turn over the top cards of the deck one by one.

ex: "The first to arrive was the jack on the second floor, next came the jack on the first floor, after him came the jack that was on the ground floor and the last to arrive was huffing and puffing as he came from the basement."

Phase 9. The Jacks escape.

ex: "And the jacks took a rope and slid out the house, just as the police were coming in."

Hold for applause and introduce your next trick.
