3 Solutions... to Hofzinsers Ace Problem

Contained in this project are 3 different approaches to Hofzinser's Ace problem. In each variation, four aces are used to divine the suit of a spectator's selection. Once the suit has been revealed, the ace transposes with the selection. The construction of the effect is excellent as there is an initial effect or coincidence with aces which then allows for a truly impossible climax.
