"John's Slow Motion Oil and Water is a beautiful magic. It's well constructed from beginning to end with each phase building and becoming stronger until the inevitable happens. All I know for sure is that this piece is going right into my working set. It's that good." - Mike Kaminskas

"John has put together a real nice and tight sequence here that allows for all the magic to happen slowly while the cards are face up. Also keeping the spectators focused on each sequence makes this a excellent version!" -Doc Docherty

"What a unique and practical approach to Oil and Water from one of my favorite card magicians!" - Jason Dean

"Typical John Carey -- he uses standard moves in a non-standard way to produce an offbeat Oil and Water that fools and entertains real, live lay lay audiences. Love it!" -J. K Hartman

"I love this routine! John has made it so simple, it's almost fair...." - Andrew Gerard

"John is the undisputed master at streamlining classics and Slow Motion Oil and Water is testament to this. A great version of the plot perfect for the worker. It’s super clean, very visual and surprisingly easy to perform. Don’t even think about it, JUST BUY IT!" - Peter Nardi

"A boat load of magic for such a small packet of cards! Fantastic construction!" - Cameron Francis

"Slow Motion Oil and Water is simple and effective - typically John Carey!" - Paul Cummins

"John Carey has definitely found the 'sweet spot' in this rendition of Oil and Water. As the cards magically separate, mix, and separate again in a progressive manner, so does the level of suspense and surprise progress with the addition of each card. This construction inherently infuses more drama than usually encountered with the Oil and Water plot." - Jack Carpenter

Slow AND easy.

John Carey has knack for making a simple card trick into a miracle. Slow Motion Oil and Water is a very simple effect turned into a miracle. Four red cards and four black cards are placed on the table and then magically transposed. Then, you take another one of each color and mix the colors. Impossibly, the cards un-mix themselves. Finally, with no seeming sleight of hand from the magician, you end with the ultimate color separation.

Slow Motion Oil and Water is so visual. And it happens with a very simple method making it really seem impossible. The cards are normal and you can even do this with a borrowed deck. It really looks like you are mixing cards in the fairest way possible. And then, by magic, they un-mix or mix at your command.

Lately my main complaint about most of the tricks put out in the magic market is that they aren't workers. You won't actually do them more than a handful of times in real life. Either they're not that strong, they have terrible angles, the set-up is impractical, or the like. This is the first trick I've bought in the last few months that is an actual worker that you will do all the time.

One thing I do want to point out off the bat is that the first phase is really weak. First of all, he has the worst version of the monte move I've seen in a long time. Secondly, even if he was doing a better version of it it's not meant to be done so overtly. It's meant to be much more casual. That being said, in this particular trick it's not as bad. There something to be said for starting off this trick with a not so convincing transpo and then building up from there, but I would still jump straight to phase two. From there on it's really strong and people understand there's no such thing as a mixture unless you have two of each color.

The moves are very well taught with great close ups on the more complicated moves.To be honest a beginner is probably going to find this trick too difficult and the more advanced magician probably already can do most of the moves in his sleep since these are common moves for the most part (though I should point out his version of the c*** looked fishy to me. You'd be better off with the standard version of it).

One thing I always ask myself when someone puts out their version of a standard trick is "Is there a reason this trick was published? Is it significantly different from previous versions of this trick in a good way? Will people who already do a version of this trick gain anything by learning this version" The answer to these questions are yes less than 20% of the time but I'm proud to say that this is within the 20% that do deserve to be published.

This trick is highly recommended for the intermediate or advanced magician. It's impromptu, has very good angles, and for the most part uses moves you already know so it shouldn't take you too long to learn.
A beginner should expect to spend a lot of time learning this, but consider it time well spent because these are very useful moves and this is a trick that you will be doing for the rest of my life.
