Hey guys! This is Jay Jay here, we’re just seeing my beautiful backyard, not sure, we’re at a beautiful waterfall here and I want to show you something really, really cool with six cards, three red and three black. Black, red, black, red, black, red. Watch really closely, alright. Red, okay, black, red, black, red, like this, watch this -- want to learn this cool trick, stay tuned.
Hey guys! This is Jay Jay here. Grab yourselves six cards, grab six cards, three red and three black and you're going to mix them together. So you're going to go black, red, black, red, and black, red. So the cards should look like this. It doesn’t matter what the cards are. But you just want to make sure that there are three red and three black. The second part of this which is the secret move, it’s called the glide. Now, you want to -- the cards, not the tips of your fingers, sort of where the first lines are in your fingers and you want to put the cards there and let -- lay your thumb on top. If you're left handed, do it in this hand, if you're right handed, do it in this hand.
The secret with this move is pretty much when you say you're going to grab this card, you don’t. People think this is the Queen, I’ve actually switched it. The glide is this, you will -- what you're doing is you're holding the cards like this, and you're using your three fingers, your middle, ring and pinky finger to sort of pull this bottom card, or the last card, backwards. Now you need to grip the cards with your thumb underneath and all fingers on top and you're just going to sort of pull this one back. Your thumb and your forefinger will be holding the rest of the cards while these three fingers pull this one back as you pull this one out.
So, pretty much, lay your fingers here, lay the cards here, sorry, put your thumb on top and as you say -- as you turn the card around, you're going to do the secret and you're going to pull out the bottom card. You want to make sure you do it as natural as possible.
So, once again, practice this move, hold the cards on top, don’t make it look too -- or too very like, I’m going to do a move, just make it natural. So, if you're going to pick up the cards and do the move, it’d be like this -- switched. So, once again, hold the cards here, pull this card back and pull this card out. That’s called the glide.
Any questions, you can always email me and I can help you out from there. So this is the trick. Once again, black, red, black, red, black, red, okay.
First, you're going to say, watch, red, you take the red card and you sort of just show it, like that. Then you do the secret move, while you're sort of taking the red card out. I’ll probably going to do it from this angle so it’s easy for you to see then we’ll go from the performance hereafter. So, here we go, so, red, you show the card, as you do the secret move, you pull out two cards, okay, underneath -- after you sort of slide -- done the glide, okay, then you show this card, you say black, you take this one, you can show it. Then you say red. Then you do the glide again. Then you say red. Then you do the glide. And pull that card underneath and put it on top. Now, what people think, what your audience thinks now is that the cards are still sort of mixed together. You snap your fingers and there’s three black and three red.
This trick is called Oil and Water, a typical magician’s trick and the whole point of this trick is oil and water can’t mix and that’s sort of the presentation. You can use any presentation for it. I preferred sort of, using all the oil and water routine, say oil and water don’t mix and then you can -- sort of mix them up and snap your fingers and they come together. So let’s go over it, lets do that again. So, black, red, black, red, and black, red. That’s the hottest part of the trick, it is. You're going to mix -- when you're going to put them together again. You don’t need to do this in the secret corner. You can do this right in front of them. You just grab six cards and mix them up and you go, “Watch closely.”
So once again, okay, red, you can show them that card, do the secret move, you take the two cards off, okay, then you show black, you show that card, and you show red, do the secret move, take the -- sort of the card underneath it. And then you snap your fingers, one, two, three, just like that.
This time I want to do with the wording, with the pattern. It’s quite hard to sort of teach, do this -- sort of teach you inside the pattern because I’m going to confuse myself as you’ll see why, so black, red, black, red, black, red. So this is what it looks like in normal speed. Six cards, okay, watch closely, red, black, red, black, red, watch this -- just like that.
