> Slow Motion Oil and Water by John Carey

Great Routine for a Classic Effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 28th, 2017
This is really just Carey teaching his version of a routine that creates the classic oil and water effect, but his routine is a real stunner, particularly the final phase, which I will absolutely be using to close my own oil and water routine. The instruction itself is less than ten minutes - this is not a negative or a positive, but a statement of fact so that you know what you're getting. Carey gives very little instructions on the moves and techniques used, instead focusing on the routine itself. This has upsides and downsides - the downside is that beginners might feel a bit lost because there is insufficient information in the video to learn the techniques Carey uses. The upside is that more experienced magicians don't have to be subjected to explanations of moves that they've seen and done thousands of times before. It's a tradeoff. Also: The moves Carey uses in the routine are not particularly difficult, but require some comfort with basic sleight of hand techniques. Ultimately, I very much enjoyed this video and absolutely will be including his "slow motion" final phase in my own presentations.
