Hi All
Just a couple more videos for your perusal! This time, handlings of two classic effects, namely 'Hofzinser's Ace Problem' and Roy Walton's 'Oil and Queens'
Not My Problem
This is pretty vanilla handling of the effect, but the one thing I've added is the use of John Carey's handling of Larry Jenning's 'Larreverse' sleight, so you get a nice visual moment where the Ace appears in the deck. Still not completely satisfied with the handling, so consider this one a work in progress!
Also, apologise for the slight cack-handedness, the deck I was using was a bit old and sticky!
Roy(al) Walton
This is handling of Roy Walton's 'Oil and Queens' from 'The Complete Walton'. Anyone who knows the trick will know you typically start with the colours already alternated, so my main aim was to figure out a way to mix them in front of the audience. In doing so I inadvertently stumbled upon a way to make use of two poker hands to perform the effect, meaning I could present it as a sort of mock cheating demo rather than using the usual oil and water patter. That way, I almost get two kickers rather than just the one. I was quite proud of this so hopefully you like it as much as I do.
