Ace cutting

I like it, straightforward, to the point. For pretty much those exact same reasons however, I would say it needs improvement. This is getting into indirect psychology, but essentially from a spectators point of view it appears that each ace comes from the same place in the deck. This makes them think the aces are next to each other, and then they will come up with whatever little method they can think of as to how you did that. Depending on which method you used, this might be entirely true. So what I would suggest, is changing each phase just a little bit. Nothing major, just enough that each phase is unique (like your ending). This should rid any spectator of the idea that the four aces are together, and would be a major improvement. I DO NOT suggest adding cuts or additional shuffles to make up for this. As I just mentioned in another thread, the less handling of the cards you do the better.
