Lorayne's Oil & Water

[SpringBizkit]

There are a few, i know that there is the classic collection vol 1 and 2, if that's the one you mean.. otherwise there is the close- up card magic and decksterity that i know about.

BTW, I just Googled Harry Lorayne's books and there were not Magical Classics book. What is the book's whole name?

[kieku87]

Wow, this was really great! I have been fan of Harry Lorayne since I got his book Close-up Card Magic. I have to try find Magical Classics too :)

Nice trick! but i figured it out! but very nice performance of it and i want to know how to do a trick of his from deck-sterity? do you know it? if you do please can you post a video on a tutorial?

[Eddini]

That was very good. Normally I can spot a thing or two but know. 5/5, very clean. Check out my 65+ Magic hypnosis vids.

He teaches it in the Magical Classics as well, and i'm doing it the way he does it in Magical Classics. My patter might not be as enthusiastic as his.. but i guess i work better with a live audience than a camera. But exact same handling, and it floors people in a live performance. i can actually make jokes and not feel as stupid.

[TheBradTobin]

its harder than people think talking to a camera

If you have the Harry Lorayne Magic Video 2, he performs this trick It is actually known as the sting. He teaches you how to do it. If Harry Lorayne cant teach you, nobody can!

[SpringBizkit]

Well all i have to say is.. its kinda his presentation from the video i learnt it from. If you watch his video that it's on (magical classics, either vol 1 or 2, can't remember) his presentation isn't far off. Didn't make as much sense either to talk about oil and water, and then have a poker hand, so i excluded that, but kept the title. He's got great stuff, but i'm doing it similar to the way i saw him do it.

watch it and let me know ;D

You 'd really be doing yourself and magic a big favor by developing a lot more polish in your performance before posting it publicly like this. Would you like to know what Harry Lorayne himself said upon seeing this clip? Yes, he has seen it. I don't know if I can post the link here to where he said it or not, but this is an exact quote (can't fit it in this post)....

[tkdaddy]

"Showing me (without my permission) performing my HaLo Aces and Numero Uno is fine, I guess. But, then you have an item you call "Lorayne's Oil & Water." For your (and everyones) information, that is The Sting, right out of APOCALYPSE. And, it's the most boring presentation of a wonderful effect I've seen. I do wish people would name and present my stuff properly, particularly when done "for the public." HL.

[tkdaddy]

And:

"And, I'm a lousy computer person, so don't really know how to contact Youtube, nor honestly, is it worth my time. If someone wants to do me the favor of contacting them and having them remove that "oil and water" thing, that'd be nice. HL."

I don't know if he meant remove the video or remove the wrong name of the effect -- although I suspect he meant the former, which I'm not sure he would legally have the right to demand technically, but there's the originator's opinion in any case.

I would assume this came from the cafe.. I understand what you mean about making it on camera and how your patter and nature would be different than performing in front of specs. As far as what Harry says, I wouldnt give a fuck what that arrogant jerk says. He knows a lot, been around a long time, but a jerk is a jerk.

[SpringBizkit]

@tkdaddy Well, He did come up with a lot of effects, but i'm sure if he knew what he was talking about.. he'd know it was HIS oil and water from his own dvd.. and the presentation is his presentation from the dvd. Yes it's bland.. but maybe he should've made it better on HIS dvd ?

i don't know about the sting.. but i do know 10000000000% that it's from his own recording.. where he says it's HIS oil and water. just following what he did..

[SpringBizkit]

im leaving that on there :P lol. it's a funny thought. It's not the method tho, as this method really requires "almost" no sleight of hand, and what you described seemed a little confusing and maybe hard? but i like the thought process, so i'm keeping it lol.

:D

[tkdaddy]

I might add that it's not good to "tip" that an effect doesn't require difficult sleight of hand. Even saying that borders on exposure -- which is NOT the trademark of a good magician. In short, merely knowing the mechanics of a trick does not a magician make. I'm not saying these things to be mean, as "harsh" as it may sound, but if you ever want to be a magician, you'll have to be able to take criticism.

[crazyjackaljones]

Hmm when you were doing the black-red thing, I'm guessing you took 2 cards (oil and water) instead of one and using the other hand you'd take the water and put it down in the bottom of the deck, whilst the main hand puts down the oil on the table.

I don't know how you changed them back though. Crazy shit.

[crazyjackaljones]

Hmm I can't delete the comment, can you?

I just read on another of your tricks, that it's annoying when idiots try and guess how you do it...(guess that's me).
