Below is the preview of a review that will appear on http://www.mylovelyassistant.com in the near future. Thanks Christian.
BTW I also just found out "the fantastic oil and water routine" Wayne Houchin mentions in the June 2009 Genii is in fact "OiATER". "OiATER" is available through dealers worldwide (dealers contact Murphy's) or directly at http://www.chicagomagicbash.com. … I will be giving it 5 out of 5 stars and here is the review that will be posted sometime in the near future. “OiATER” A Review by Christian&Katalina Oiater is comb bound 47 page book. The pages are 8 and half by 11, well laid out, with nice illustrations. I really wish this was not published. It is simply too good. Oiater is a very nice working of the Oil and Water effect. I mean really good. It’s not simply the card handling that makes this good, it is the theatrical thinking that propels this to a very commercial and outstanding effect. The crux of the routine relies on a concept of “Regressive Oil and Water” were the performer uses less and less cards to prove the point. It reduces the number of cards being used to . . . . two. If that doesn’t grab your attention then how about the fact that the entire deck ends up separated into red and black. Sure, that’s not a new concept but . . . this method is within the skill level of a beginner. There are a couple of “moves” in the manuscript that I think are very powerful and can be used with other tricks. You will smile and reach for your deck of cards as you read them. Additionally, there are ideas for alternate endings, theory, and practical handlings. I really enjoyed the thinking in these pages. In the back of the book is an impressive list of credits and a website to watch some of the sequences performed. Oh!, and I want to point out the booklet has a nice front and back plastic cover, not the quickly stapled poorly copied booklets that I usually see. If you like the oil and water concept or even think you like it, get this book. It is a gem Another review here: http://themagiccafe.com/forums/viewtopic......orum=218 |

Just got this e-mail from from David Williamson:
"When I first saw this version of the classic oil and water I was impressed by the clean, direct handling and the logic of the routine. It looked like magic. After reading the method, I'm even more impressed with the craftsmanship put into it. I'll be learning it and performing it for my audiences!" |
