Oil and Water Supreme by John W. McClure

Apocalypse by Harry Lorayne
Volume 8, Number 7 July 1985
Page 1083 et seq.

Personal Comment: Oil and Water, how I love thee. But this is not bad. Seriously. And getting into the setup is fairly practical. I think this is deceptive. What makes this good compared to other Oil and Water is the simple fact, that this routine is short. But again this seems to be more of an item for magicians. As Oil and Water should be. If you want the same impact, just do Triumph.

Face it, Kings are Ambitious by John W. McClure

Apocalypse by Harry Lorayne
Volume 16, Number 11 November 1993
Page 2274 et seq.

Personal Comment: This is so forgettable, so very forgettable. But it ain't bad. The face up approach to the appearance is good, I think. But this is a personal trick. Tailored to one person, the creator. This makes me appreciate my own version of finding a four of a kind. So I guess there is some merit in the above routine.
