Created and performed by Cameron Francis. An amazing completely impromptu 5-phased card cheating demonstration. Only basic skill required and it uses a regular deck of cards. PHASE 1: STACKING: You remove a bunch of black spot cards from the deck and the four Kings. The Kings are cut into the packet and four hands are dealt. You then show that each hand contains one King and three black spot cards. You gather up the hands and deal again. Now the four Kings are in one hand, but you saved the best hand for yourself, the four Aces! PHASE 2: FALSE DEALING: You get rid of the spot cards and place the Kings on top of the Aces. You deal two alternating hands. So there should be two Kings and two Aces in each hand, but the four Kings are in one hand and the four Aces are in the other. PHASE 3: MUCKING: You talk about blackjack and hand mucking. Two Aces are placed in a pile on the table and the other two discarded. Two Kings are placed in a pile and the other two discarded. You wave over the

Oil Over Troubled Water by Kim Wist and Christian Engblom
This trick is as close to perfection as you can get and it will fool literally everybody. -Roberto Giobbi I keep watching it over and over and have absolutely no idea how Christian dose it. Brilliant. -Bill Kalush This is a show-stopping performance piece suitable for both extreme close-up and TV appearances. The visual quality of this trick and the dramatic build make it ideal for special performances or as a set close-up piece. The Effect: You show an intriguing deck of cards: some have red backs and some have blue backs. You clearly show the whole deck missed in this fasion. This you remove three red backed cards and three blue backed cards and proceed to preform a two phase oil and water routine with an additional climax. These phases look amazing and culminate by separating the colors in the spectators hands! You then reveal that you have separated the entire deck by color. THIS JUST MIGHT BE THE MOST BIABOLICAL OIL AND WATER EVER CONVEIVED. Why Here are three reasons! 1. Its a f

ESTIMATION: A demonstration of estimation and magic with a deck of cards leads to finding the aces one-by-one with the help of a spectator. RE-PRODUCTION FOURTH FLOOR: An easy and extremely magical way to produce the kings and aces. The two sets of cards are then used for a fun elevator routine f
