Folks,
Can someone identify this simple Oil and Water routine. Where it is printed etc. I know the routine well, but someone has asked me where it can be found and I cannot recall. Four identical cards, say king spades are fanned toward audience. Four more idents (queen hearts) are then interlaced between the four kings and fanned towards audience. Packet is squared and two centre cards turn around face up in centre of pack as markers. Packet is split at this point and marker card placed on bottom face down of each four card packet. Marker card is then shown to have drawn all four ident cards together (E****** C****) this is repeated for the other packet. The trick is repeated (it has to be) by then showing one of the four card packets face down and fanned but which the spec believes to be four kings (or queens!) The TOP card of the other face down packet is then placed between cards 1&2 of the face down and fanned packet and the other three, which can of course now be shown to be three kings (or queens!) are placed one at a time between 2&3 and 3&4 and on top of 4. Once more the two cetre cards are turned round face up and the eight card fanned packet split at this point. (This rearranges the cards for a perfect out) The cards are turned over on by one to reveal, once more that the marker cards have drawn out all the matching cards. BUT what the heck is it called and where is it? (Apologies if I have revealed anything here - please delete it if you feel it has - but I know of no other way to describe it to get the answer I'm looking for. Cheers RK |

It was published in Apocalypse, but I am not sure of the name or the creator. However, I have expounded on the basic effect to make it a much better routine. Get this: in the final phase the reds are placed FAIRLY on the left, and the blacks are FAIRLY placed on the right. Now, the spectator decides which pile the card comes from at any time. Therefore, the colors are not alternated, they are completely mixed by the whim of the spectator. Instantly the colors seperate (this is done without ANY sleight of hand, no elmsley counts or anything of the such). In fact, the spectator can turn the cards over if the wish! I will write it up and PM it to you, but give me a bit of time to get it done.

That sounds like a pretty sweet O&W finish!

Roger, I learned it from Marko. I think it was on The Learned Pig. Here is a snippet of the write up of it.

Gabi's 'Oil-water two-step' BTW, you can use 6's and nine's of red and black. It doesn't have to be four Identical cards of a black and red suit. This way you can do it impromptu. Pull the cards out of the deck you are using or with a borrowed deck. edh P.S PM me if you want the complete writeup.
Magic is a vanishing art.

Aha! I know that The point with me is that it links from and into other tricks with the same cards. But the other tricks require ident cards. I shoulda said that. PM on its way edh Cheers |

Roger,
Something very familiar is on this years MAGIC magazine May volume. It is Martin Lewis - Oil Opener. I believe it is the same trick you have described to us. There is and nice Oil Closer by Nathan Gibson too in the same magazine. Best regards Domas |

Thanks Lithingorf. That rings a bell, but I have found the version I was talking about and it was from Marko at The Learned Pig as edh said earlier. RK
