Thanks for sharing with us Huruey. It looked pretty good, but there were definitely some key moments that looked fishy to the unblinking eye of the camera. These kinds of moments can easily be covered by presentation/misdirection, so I would love to see a video of a live performance to see how you handle it. The sleights were executed well - but clearly there was something going on.

Thanks Brian. I don't think I did the second phase as well as I normally do, but there is quite a dependency on patter to justify some things which might normally be a bit unnatural.
I also have a 5 card oil and water where the spectator chooses either the pile of reds or the pile of blacks and then they and I alternate in placing cards down. I sometimes do this version first before saying "It's easier to see what's happening with fewer cards...". I do the second phase (first in this video) into their hand, then the second phase in this video is kind of an extra-slow extra-fair final phase, which justifies the extra reiterating of showing the cards mixed saying "Nothing's happened yet - still mixed...".

I agree with Brian.... there were some "fishy" moments but they occured smoothly and without flashing whatsoever. Of course, misdirection and patter would cover up the lagging. Great job!
