A card routine in Art of Astonishment, Vol. 1 by Paul Harris (1996). Originally appeared in Super Magic(1977). An uncredited variation (and extension) of Brother John Hamman's famous Underground Transposition which had been publisher years earlier in Jon Racherbaumer's magazine Kabbala, Vol. 1, N° 7, 1972. (Credit was corrected when republished in Art of Astonishment.)

Synopsis

4 aces and 4 jacks are shown. Jacks are placed on the table and the aces are held in the hands. One at a time the aces change places with the jacks (We can call that a Slow-motion Transposition). For a kicker ending the four jacks instantly "reset" and become aces once again.
