Does anyone know how to do this?

Hey everyone!

I'm posting this to see if anyone knows how to do the following, using the Glide technique.

Imagine I have a packet of 8 cards arranged as follows: King of Spades, Ace of Spades, King of Hearts, Ace of Hearts, King of Clubs, Ace of Clubs, King of Diamonds, Ace of Diamonds. The bottom card, meaning, the one visible if I show the entire packet squared up, is the King of Spades.

Now, I turn the packet over, showing the backs of the cards, and using the Glide, I push the King of Spades back and take the next card, the Ace of Spades, which I place on the table, making the spectator believe it's the King of Spades. So, what I have left in my hand, in order, is: King of Spades, King of Hearts, Ace of Hearts, King of Clubs...

What I'm trying to achieve now is to show the packet again with the King of Hearts visible, to do the same move with the Ace of Hearts. But the King of Spades is right there at the front, and I don't know how to get it to the top or get rid of it unnoticed.

I'm looking to do the same thing with the King and Ace of Clubs, but if I manage to place the Ace of Hearts on the table, making them believe it's the King of Hearts, I'd already have three Kings together.

Does anyone know how to achieve this? I think it's the mechanism used for the "Find the Queen" effect.

Thanks!
