Cesaral Oil and Water 'in-crescendo', by César Alonso

Effect:

An audience member points to a card from the deck, and the Magician removes the four cards of the same number. The spectator chooses and holds the red or black cards and the Magician the other two cards. Up to six different times and with increasing degrees of difficulty, the spectator’s cards are mixed or alternated with the magician’s cards, but at the end of the magic pass the same colors gather (this is what happens when Oil and water are mixed…). The fourth time the cards are mixed, the Magician makes a hole in a place selected by the spectator, and puts eyelet in the four cards, but, even in those conditions, the cards change places. For the big ‘crescendo’, even the spectator is able to do the same by himself!

 This effect can even be done with a borrowed deck of cards (Great for doing it to Magicians…!)

Important points:

• With this Oil and Water routine you won’t need to do any other Oil and Water effect

• The cards come with all thenecessary hardware (for making the hole and fixing the eyelet) – it is not just a plain card trick!

• Very easy to perform with littletechnique used

• Can be performed in almost everysituation, sitting or standing.

• And the best: No sleights are needed to do this effect!
