Oil and Water 2.0 By Marc Céliandre & Damien Vappereau

Oil & Water 2.0 – Four Impossible Revelations with a Borrowed Deck

Oil & Water 2.0 reimagines the classic plot through four consecutive impossibilities, all performed with a completely normal deck – potentially borrowed, unprepared, and with no gimmicks or secret materials.

The spectator shuffles, cuts, and handles the cards under the table, freely and out of the magician’s sight. Despite these extreme conditions, the impossible unfolds:

The Four Revelations

• Oil & Water

Red and black cards refuse to mix and naturally separate.

• Orientation

The performer predicts in advance how many cards face up and face down.

• Colors

The exact number of red and black cards is revealed.

• Values

Finally, the total point value of the cards is announced – without ever seeing them.

Nothing Hidden. Everything Impossible

No gimmicks. No magnets. No markings. No special paper.

Just ordinary playing cards, handled entirely by the spectator.

Performed under full audience control, Oil & Water 2.0 builds to a finale that challenges both chance and logic.

Included Materials

• 5 blue cards
• 5 green cards
