I like that this is old school with an actual deck! There are definitely skills needed to perform it
and lots of practice. However, the instruction is topnotch and really describes in detail what you
need to do. Once I get proficient, this will be a regular for me!

This is a great version of this. I like the fact that I will have to work on this a while before I
have it down. But then I will put her to the test & share with friends. Great price and I love the
method.highly recommend.

Contrary to another review, the instructions are easy to follow and detailed.
1. Something
other than "pick a card" and may be more magical to a lay person since only 8 normal cards are used.
2. Packs small for practice, and it will need some, but no difficult moves.
3.
Inexpensive and worth buying.
4. I'm not familiar with other Oil and Water routines, but
this one is well thought out and looks great.

I purchased this trick mainly because I had no unearthly understanding of what was going on and I
was simply curious. I am not a card aficionado, so I had no expectations of being able to perform
this effect after reading other reviews. Manuel's instruction, however, was clear and easy to follow
and within about 10 attempts I am starting to get the knack of it. This will take some practice to
perform with any fluency, and it must be performed fluently or the moves will appear suspicious, but
the steps are easy to remember, so now it is just a matter of muscle memory, timing, and practice.
For ab couple minutes the video had a lot of distracting flashes going on, as if someone
was shooting a strobe continuously during filming, but the sound quality and camera angles were
good.
Thank you, Manuel, for taking me down a road where I had no expectations but found
pleasant surprises.

worth the watch. this one you can learn from and isn't difficult at all
Great version of Oil & Water, good teaching by Manuel. Bit of a knuckle buster, but fun to practice.
The thing I love the most about this trick is that it is done with a regular deck. There's no
gimmick it's all sleight of hand and in the end you get the most result for the least amount of
work. It still takes a considerable amount of practice to pull off but in the end everyone's
baffled. Big fan of this trick and Señor Laser.
When Manuel explains the moves, the camera is facing him while the cards are level making it
extremely difficult to see exactly what he’s doing. I got frustrated viewing this video. The camera
should be an overhead shot showing the exact moves. I don’t have problems with his accent but the
camera angle needs better work.
good routine but not to diff
