David Regal - in the 17 minute how-to video - spends a fair amount of time going over the history of
Oil & Water, the variations, etc. It's nice touch, and works well as a connect-the-dots on how this
one came to be eventually.
What Regal delivers is a routine that can be done with any two
decks (of different colors/backs, naturally) with really no prep involved. The three phases of this
effect build off one another, with the final change seemingly occurring in the spectator's hand.
This is something that just about anyone familiar with basic card handling should be able
to manage with some practice, and none of the moves are particularly difficult (and should already
be known to most of you).
Oil & Water is a classic for a reason, but David Regal tweaks
this staple into something larger and ultimately much more engaging.
A winner....
