Collins' Aces is an Ace Assembly developed by Stanley Collins in which each ace is covered by three indifferent cards. The aces vanish from their respective packets. The pack is reassembled, and several four-card hands dealt out. One hand is chosen by a spectator, and found to contain the missing aces.
