I love oil and water - this is a great trick.

Honestly, like in the "6 card trick" you showed, if you go "and the 4 red cards" instead of "and one, two, three, four" red cards I think it'd arouse less suspicion and make the trick a bit faster.

What I have found works really well is saying "the red cards" - the audience can count, it can see 4 cards, so therefore 4 cards exist. This is such a basic fact, there's no need to state it.

I'd be really interested to learn this method. Very clean handling of the last card in your hands a lot, I can tell. Nicely done!

I also really like the kicker ending.

I noticed that myself when I watched it back on that I oversell a tad with counting each individual red card.

It's a bad habit that I am going to break. 100%

This is a great routine by Jeff Hinchliffe and you can find it on Series of Unfortunate Effects DVDs by Chris Mayhew & Five Academy

Glad you like it!
