Cesaral Oil and Water

Cesar Alonso

Cesaral Magic

(Based on 1 review)
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 the necessary hardware (for making the hole and fixing the eyelet) -- it is not just a plain card trick!

*Very easy to perform with little technique used

* Can be done in almost every situation, sitting or standing.

* And... No sleights are needed to do this effect!

Reviews

Pros:
Absolutely stunning, can be given out for inspection with absolutely minimum danger of anyone finding out the workings. Understanding the workings is surprisingly difficult even after you KNOW the secret! You can if you wish use 4 cards pre-eyeletted and easily carry them in your pocket or wallet which you cannot do with the tool.

Cons:
None really, but, if you are like me, you will have to practise 15 minutes to make sure you get it right every time. But even if you goof, it does not really matter as you then let the spec do the trick. This is one of those props where you might first think the price is high for the materials you get, but it is cheap compared to the audience reactions you get. Even though the video is excellent, the trick becomes a MUST HAVE only after you experience a real performance. I use jacks and queens to show that queens somtimes do mix with commoners ! Much more romantic than oil and water.
