The ACE playing card is often associated with notions of excellence, superiority and top quality. For example, in advertising imagery it can symbolize ‘the best’ or leading in a particular field (eg flying ace, ace high, an ace up one's sleeve).

Combining an ACE playing card with a magic wand and a conjurer’s hat evokes a sense of magic, enchantment and the ability to make things happen seemingly without any effort. This combination might suggest that the advertised product has the power to transform situations, offering magical or extraordinary experiences... “Tu momento más dulce del Día”.
