Sometimes it's actual legitimate magic, though.
David Blaine is a good example.

There’s a difference between, say
Having a complicated hidden mechanism, and just having a stooge or relying on camera angles, though.

Must be a stooge in this case.
Otherwise the fourth ace would need to be present in both halves.

he'd just change the words
you pointed to this pile, that means (it must here/ we eliminate this pile).

Nah, it's a pretty standard technique when getting someone to chose between two things in a trick.
He didn't say in advance what he was going to do with the chosen half, so could either say that the half selected contains the ace or that it contains the card indicating the ace's position in the other half.

There were some people telling Derren Brown, to his face, that he was using real magic
And he had to tell them to stop embarrassing themselves.
