"This is just MAGIC. This oil and water is the most perfect version that exists." - Jeki Yoo

"POW is the best Oil & Water I have ever seen. From the first second I saw it, I knew it would be in my repertoire forever. I love that it’s quick, visual, the magic happens at chest height, it’s easy to do and instantly resets. I mean what’s not to love! This is the perfect opener, the perfect oil and water and most importantly a really amazing trick. I love it!" - Craig Petty

"This is as clean as it gets." - Ryan Schlutz

"I know the feeling well of setting out to figure out a method, not even being sure if there is a solution to be found. Luckily for you, Erik cracked a seemingly impossible code. So when Erik showed me his solution for oil and water, I immediately saw why this is such a special release!" - Kyle Purnell

"POW looks like magic to the audience and the method feels like magic in our hands. This is going to be a great addition to our stage show!" - Chase and Kaileigh (Magic Duo)

In a world where masters of sleight of hand have spent decades coming up with beautiful sleights and sequences to separate red and black cards, only one man had the vision to create a color separation so beautifully simple that magicians around the globe have called it perfect. No sleights. No odd counts. No split cards. It is the kind of eye candy that gives your brain a sweet tooth for magic. Add a little POW to your magic with Perfect Oil & Water by Erik Casey.

Here’s what happens:

Three blue cards and three red cards are shown to the audience. These are openly placed into a glass in alternating red-blue order. A magical gesture is made, and then the cards are spread to show the red and blue cards have perfectly separated.

POW is the perfect Oil and Water effect. The gimmicked cards come ready to go right out of the box. You also receive instructions on how to do a great in-the-hands routine that doesn’t need a glass. In addition, you will be taught the version that Jeki Yoo performed on Instagram and went mega-viral. This version allows you to show the faces and the backs of the card completely openly before and after the color separation occurs. POW is ridiculously easy to do. If you can spread a handful of cards, you can do this trick. Smack your audiences with an incredible miracle when you perform POW, Perfect Oil & Water by Erik Casey & John Michael Hinton.

WONDERFUL! One word of caution Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 14th, 2023
Love this trick. It’s mind boggling, nearly self-working and just perfect. BUT I will caution you, don’t get your cards out of order. If you do it can be VERY difficult to get them back. Yes, the tutorial shows you how do to it, but without revealing too much here, there’s more to it than just the order. I got mine out of order right away. (Don’t do this) I got them back in order without too much trouble but as the gimmick “ages” it’s harder and harder to do. Maybe impossible which means ordering another unit. Worth it? Yes. But save yourself the time and money and just be very very careful not to get your cards out of order!

POW is a must have for all Card Magicians Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 9th, 2023
I am writing this review with a focus on adaptive creation. For over a decade, I've been using a key technique inspired by Sean Bogunia's 'Sorted Affair,' with some modifications influenced by Alexander Kolle, Andrew Gerard, and Will Tsai. When I first laid eyes on POW, my initial reaction was, "Are you kidding me?" followed by, "Well, I might as well check out the tutorial."

Here's a valuable lesson: never judge a book by its cover, no matter how seasoned you are at assessing things based on appearances. Most of the time, you'll be mistaken. So, a word of caution to those who already have experience with the secrets employed in POW: you might assume you've got it all figured out, but you'd be wrong.

Magicians possess a toolbox filled with tools to manipulate playing cards. These tools have been handed down through the ages, some old, some new, some widely used, and some seldom seen, almost like well-kept secrets. While we appreciate the contributions of our predecessors in shaping these tools, we don't usually think about giving credit to the inventor of a Phillips screwdriver when we use one for a repair job.

In my opinion, POW is a similar case. I'd like to address the elephant in the room that will emerge once you receive POW in your mailbox - and if you're reading this, you should definitely get it. We all know that the Oil and Water effect has a long list of credits to its name, and at some point, it makes sense to acknowledge the genius behind the effect by simply using it.

The true brilliance of POW lies not in the tool itself but in the method behind its creation. I've been attempting, unsuccessfully, to achieve what Erik Casey and John Michael Hinton have masterfully sequenced for over a decade. Once you grasp the algorithm, it may appear simple, but arriving at the solution through analytical thinking is far from easy. What's more, not only have they deciphered the algorithm, but even a novice can perform this effect like a pro within minutes of watching the tutorial.

There are various fantastic versions of this effect, and its usefulness depends on your style of magic. However, one thing is certain - this effect is worth having for the sheer genius behind it. Although it's still relatively new in my hands, I'm betting that the discovered algorithm will become a versatile tool in itself. So, go ahead and get this!

POW, WOW can't wait to get my hands on them Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 6th, 2023
The is a perfect card routine for me, and why, up till now I thought my days as an magician was over. I suffer from HAP,HEREDITARY SPASTIC PARAPLEGIA, and its starting to take away the use of my hands,and from I see in the video the handling of the cards seems very easy and I should have enough power in my hands to do this amazing trick. So it has my recommendations.
Regards Sam

It is Perfect! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 8th, 2023
I like Oil and Water effects. Seeing this one I had an idea of the method. I was not sure if it would work as it appeared! To my surprise it was just as easy and amazing as it looked. I was shocked to see how much thought was put into it to get it to work as it does. All you have to do is keep the cards in order and that is it! You will be doing this as soon as you take the cards out of the packaging! Just get it, and enjoy!

Love it! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 6th, 2023
Full transparency - I have not received this item yet but I have purchased it. I watched the tutorial and I knew right away that POW is a winner. Lots of routines, ideas for performing, etc., from some heavy hitters. Plus-it's one of those tricks that is just going to work. Looking forward to using this straight away.

Perfect and Powerful Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 2nd, 2023
First let me say that Poker Test is one of my favorite effects and one I perform commercially at all my bookings. When I saw this, I had to have it. It had to take alot of thinking to work this one out and man they nailed it. So visual. Great opener! Only downside is if you mix the cards accidentally and I can see additional something that would need to be added over time. Take care of the cards ans it will last a while but, I already made a 2nd one. Not hard to do. Highly recommended. No sleight of hand necessary. Just fan cards. That’s it.

POW 💥 Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 23rd, 2023
Wow! No matter how much I tried to reverse engineer this effect before purchasing this, I couldn’t. I bought it mostly because I believed the creators of this eye candy deserved my money. Boy was I right! The beauty of this is that the simplicity of doing this beautifully engineered wonder is it gives you the performer plenty of time to hone your performance! Absolute perfection!

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 18th, 2023
I am sure my title cant be original but it is accurate. Wow this is quite a trick with a fantastic set of cards. I am shocked at how easy it is to do and how visual it is to see.

What a powerful opener that is quick and makes an impression.

Thank you all for the video's and for the fun. They were a joy to watch. Now to do POW as often as possible. Way to go all.

This is a fooler Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 12th, 2023
Yes, this is a real fooler for people and very easy to do. I think showing this trick with the glass is even more impressive. I take each card and place it one by one in the glass and then do the magic. Just add this one to your cart and you won't regret. Very easy to do and no slight of hand moves.
