"This trick is as close to perfection as you can get and it will fool literally everybody." -Roberto Giobbi

"I keep watching it over and over and have absolutely no idea how Christian does it. Brilliant." -Bill Kalush

This is a show-stopping performance piece suitable for both extreme close-up and TV appearances. The visual quality of this trick and the dramatic build make it ideal for "special" performances or as a set close-up piece.

The Effect:
You show an intriguing deck of cards: some have red backs and some have blue backs. You clearly show the whole deck missed in this fashion. This you remove three red backed cards and three blue backed cards and proceed to preform a two phase oil and water routine with an additional climax. These phases look amazing and culminate by separating the colors in the spectator's hands! You then reveal that you have separated the entire deck by color.

THIS JUST MIGHT BE THE MOST BIBLICAL OIL AND WATER EVER CONCEIVED.

Why? Here are three reasons!

1. It's a full routine with inherent resetting properties, making it practical for street magic, or as a theater piece. It not only gives you great phases with a small packet, but also a full-deck ending.

2. You are supplied with everything you need; the special deck and instructional DVD.

3. It's within the range of every per-former and easy to learn!

I have never been that big of a fan of Oil and Water plots, but this one has a great presentation! This version is super visual and truly is easy to do. This could be done walk around, or in a formal parlor/close up set. Because of the obvious color, kids that don't know playing cards understand what is happening. If you are looking at a strong 5 minute card piece that has nothing to do with "pick a card", this is great. and the justification for using a separate deck after this effect is justified as well (you wouldn't want to perform with a half red and half blue deck would you?).

I don't know how long this has been out, but I believe this has been overlooked by many magicians and has disappeared in the vast amount of magic that has come out in the past several years.

Finally got around to looking at DVD for this effect. The actual prop and gimmick seem to be well done. However the DVD, as a mechanism to learn this trick, is not well prepared and is confusing. This is going to take me longer to sort through the DVD content in order to obtain what I need to competently perform this trick. Maybe instead of having the two magicians detail how each performed this the DVD material would have been better served with only one describing the procedure. Also eliminate some of the sidebar discussions that I don't feel are relevant to learning how to perform this routine.
