Take the deck from the spectator, turn it face up and start spreading the cards between your hands, looking for the red sevens and eights  and the black  sevens and eights.  You&#8217;re going to sort the deck into red and blacks as you look through the deck removing the eights and sevens.  This should be done casually and the audience should not be allowed to see the faces of the cards as you remove the eights and sevens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Push the cards off with your left thumb hand remove the eights and sevens as you come to them, at the same time as the colors change sequence place them appropriately to the front or back of the cards in your right hand.  Be casual, and keep the deck tilted so the spectators cant see the faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you finish the deck should be separated into reds and blacks, in the eights and sevens should be face upon the table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase One<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Set the deck face down and pick up the eights and sevens.  Separate them so there are four reds and four blacks face up in your  left hand. Spread them face up to display  them and as you close the spread take two breaks, one above the bottom two cards and another below the top two cards of the  packet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You now do what is like a little cover pass.  Your left little finger and left third finger are inserted into their breaks and clip the middle four cards.  The left fingers then straighten out, pulling the middle four cards out of this packet and instantly slipping them onto the bottom of the packet.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also do a Biddle type switch instead.  Simply hold all eight cards face up in your right hand, with the red cards on top of the black cards.  Use your left thumb to pull off the first red card into the left hand.  Repeat the action for the next red card.  On the third red card, hold a break between it and the others in the left hand.  Pull the fourth red card onto the left hand packet.  Steal back the two red cards as you pull the first black card onto the left hand packet, but keep a break between them and the black cards.  You now have two red and one black card in your left hand, and two red cards hidden below three black cards in your right hand.  Pull the next black card off. Then pull the next black card off and as you do, drop the hidden red cards onto the left hand packet, under the card you are pulling off.  You are left with one black card in your right hand.  Drop it on the left hand cards<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Situation check: The order of the cards from top to bottom are two black, two red, two black, two red. The audience should think that the order from top to bottom are four blacks, followed by four reds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flip the cards face down in your left hand and  reverse count  the top four  cards into your right hand.  The audience should believe that each hand holds cards of the same color, the reds in the right hand and the blacks in the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now deal a card off the bottom of the right hand packet, onto the table.  Deal a card from the top of the left hand packet, onto the first card.  <br>Repeat this three more times.  It appears as if you have interlaced the four red and four black cards.  Pick up the packet and give it a shake.  Turn it face up to show that the colors have separated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 2.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You are holding the cards in a face-up fan between your hands to display the colors separated, with the black cards on top (if the packet were face down).  Place your left thumb on the third card from the top and, with your right fingers, pull the fourth card to the right until it clears the cards under it.  Close-up the hands and feed the card you pulled between the bottom card and the one above it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Situation check: The order of the colors with the packet face up from top to bottom is  three black, three red, black, red. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point you have two options.  If you want to show the cards before interlacing them you can do the following. Flip the packet face down in your left hand and thumb off four cards onto your right hand without reversing their order.  Set the left hand cards  face down on the table.  Flip the right hand packet face up in your left hand and perform an Emsley count to display four red cards. Flip the packet face down  and set the packet to the table. Pickup the left hand packet and Jordan count the four cards to show they are black, placing the last card on the bottom of the packet.  Flip the packet face down and take it in your right hand.  Pickup the table packet in your left hand.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to take the time to show the cards then simply reverse count the top four cards into the right hand.  This is what I usually do.  Sometimes if you try to convince the audience that the cards are in a certain order, you actually end up doing the opposite, making the audience suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Situation check: The right hand packet from the top to bottom has  two black cards, a red card, and a black card.  The left hand packet from the top to the bottom has a black card followed by three red cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With your right thumb push the top card of the right packet over  and turn the right hand palm down display a black card.  At the same time turn the left hand palm down to display red card at the face of the packet.  Do not push the left top card over because it is black.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn the hands palm up and thumb off the top right card, followed by the top left card. Both hands pushed off the top cards and the hands turn palm down displaying a black card in the right hand and red card in the left hand. Turn the hands palm up and drop the right hand card onto the pile on the table, then  drop the left hand card.  Turn the right hand palm down but do not push a card off to show the face card being black. At the same time push the left hand card over display red card. Turn the hand palm up, drop the right hand card and then the left hand card. Turn both hands palm down showing a black card in the right hand  and a red card in left hand. Turn the hands palm down and  drop the right hand card on the packet on the table followed by the left hand card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Situation check: The packet on the table is ordered  red, black, three red cards, three black cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pickup the packet and hold it face down in your left hand.  Push the top three cards off and take them spread in the right hand and  display their faces.  This will show the cards as red, black  and  red.  Replace the cards onto the left hand, and as you do take a break under the top two cards. Take the double in your right hand, face down in the Biddle grip, and thumb off the next three cards on top of the card(s)  in your right hand, holding them in a fan.  Shake the cards.  Place them  on back on the left hand packet.  Deal face up the top four cards, which will be the same color.  Take the remaining cards your left hand and spread them face up to show they are the same color .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase  three. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Flip the four cards face down and take them in an Emsley grip in your right hand. Pull the top card off the packet into your left hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reach down the left hand and pick up one of the table cards.  Keep a break between it and the card in your left hand.  Take the right hand cards and Emsley switch the top two cards for the card on top of the left hand packet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Emsley switch: The right hand pushes off the top two cards, as one, and jams them under the left thumb.  At the same time the right fingers enter the break being held by the left hand and pinches the top card and steals it back into the right hand.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The left hand now holds three cards, but the audience thinks it holds two.  Turn the left hand over, reach down and pick up another red card, keeping the break between it and the others.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeat the Emsley switch of the top right hand card for the top left-hand card.  The right hand now holds two cards with the opposite color of what the audience expects.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reach down and with the left hand pickup another card.  The right hand pushes its top card on left hand packet.  Left hand takes the last card off the table.  Right hand drops its card on top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Situation check: The audience should think that the cards are alternating in color, but reality they have been separated red and black.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the packet in the right hand and give it a shake then turn the cards over and spread them to show the colors of separated.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell the audience that you can also do the trick with the complete deck.  Take the deck, and if you know how, give it some false shuffles.  Then holding it face down, shake it a bit.  Then spread the cards face up on the table to show that the colors have separated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Last thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many other ways to do a phase.  Here is another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Face down, face up interlace:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin by interlacing the colors as before, but this time turn the black cards face down.  Interlace the cards so the top card is a face up card.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Close up the spread and hold them in the right hand from above in a Biddle grip. Pull the face up card off, into your left hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then pull the next card, a face down card on top the the face up card in your left hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeat this, pulling the next face up card off the right hand packet, onto the left hand packet.  When you pull the fourth card (a face down card), keep a break between it and the other cards in the left hand.<br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steal that card back under the right hand portion as you pull of the next face up card from the right hand packet.  Repeat the action on the next face down card: pull it off, keep a break, and steal it back as the next face up card is pulled off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Situation check: Your left hand holds, from the back, a face up card, a face down card followed by three face up cards.  Your right hand holds three face down cards as one card<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without pausing, drop the right hand card(s) on the left hand packet.  It should appear as if you simply counted the cards one at a time to show that they are mixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flip the packet over in your left hand.  Spread the top two cards to show that they are mixed.  As you pull the spread cards back, take a break below the second card. Your right hand picks up the top two cards as one, and your left hand thumb counts the next three face down cards on top of the right hand card(s), showing that the cards have unmixed.  Drop the right hand cards on top of the left hand cards.  Flip the entire packet over and spread the cards showing that they are unmixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in other techniques, I suggest you get KABBALA, by Jon Racherbaumer.  It is an expensive book, but well worth the price.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Effect: This is a classic oil and water effect, where four red cards and four black cards are interlaced, then shaken and shown to show that they have separated back to four red and four black.
