For $5, the method taught here is indeed clever—it is in my opinion more like a 16-card 'Packet Out of This World' presented as an Oil and Water routine. It is 'easy to perform' once you understand the moves, but getting there is a struggle.
The Pros:
The 'Double Separation' move is a very smart way to sort cards.
It plays much larger than a standard 8-card Oil and Water.
The Cons:
Audio Quality: The vocal track is extremely low and buried under jarringly loud music transitions. Between the volume and the creator’s accent, the 'thorough explanation' mentioned in the ad was almost impossible to follow.
Technical Handling: I had to visually decode the Elmsley Count and Double Lift sections because the audio was so poor.
Misleading Title: This is much more of an OTW effect than a traditional Oil and Water.
If you are an experienced card worker who can learn by watching hands, it's worth the $5. If you are a beginner who needs clear audio to learn, look elsewhere.
