A wonderful packet trick from the ever-creative mind of John Bannon.

This is a game of Find The Lady with a twist. At the end, all the cards change into Aces! As we've grown to expect from John Bannon, this is easy-to-do and packs one heck of a punch, with an ending no one ever sees coming.

You show three blue-backed Jokers, and one red-backed Queen. All cards are shown front and back. The Queen is placed into your pocket, and you challenge your audience to catch you try and sneak it back into play. With literally zero moves, the Queen returns. Not once, but twice. To repeat this again, you explain you will need to use misdirection. As the Jokers are counted again, a card with the word "LOOK" printed on it appears in the spread. That card is placed in your pocket, and quick as a flash, with no moves, a red-backed card has yet again re-appeared in the packet of Jokers.

Here comes the kicker...you turn over the red-backed card to reveal it is an Ace. Then you turn over the remaining blue-backed cards to show they are all aces!

There's no palming, the moves are simple, and the special cards do almost all the work for you.
