4 Ace Tricks (Gabi Pareras)

I just watched this video, and I'd love to know the name of each trick so I can learn them.

In his classes, Gabi always emphasized the importance of combining isolated effects within a sequence, to provide a unified foundation for a series of small pieces.

The sequence you're about to see was often taught by Gabi at his school, and while it wasn't part of his regular repertoire, it contains some effects he really loved, such as "Jazz Aces" or a variation of "Daley’s Last Trick," also known as "The Trick I Would Do For Dai Vernon."

In fact, in his 2018 lecture notes, "Shake Before Use," he proposed a creative process for combining independent effects (that seemingly had no relation to each other) into a sequence, connecting them through a unifying theme, where the spectator finds variety but can also feel that aforementioned unity.

Here, the unity is obviously established by the fact that the four Aces are the main players. However, in other sequences, Gabi knew how to imbue seemingly unrelated effects with a strong sense of unity, creating logical and coherent sequences.
