I saw Keith Barry perform a OOTW effect in his TV show. Just wondering what version he is using, the name. I do know the method, but I am curious about the name.

I assume many of you maybe have not seen this on TV. But let me give a briefly explanation of the trick.
The magician shuffles a decks of cards and shows to the spectator it is shuffled.
The magicians removes a black/red card on the table to show where 2 piles of cards will be build up.
The magician fans the cards faces against him. He looks at the cards and pulls one out, facing the back to the spectator and asks him: "What color is the card?" The spectator guesses the color and the magician then will place the card either on the red or the black face up card after what the spectator guesses.
The magician does so a while until he takes 2 others black/red card and switch the piles order for the rest of the pack. The magicians gives the rest of the cards to the spectator and letting him separate the rest of the deck into red/black. And in the end, it is a 100% match of red pile vs black pile.
I am just wondering under what name this version of the OOTW effect is.

Not sure of the name but a version very much like this was in Genie or Magic or one of those magazines a while back. There's another thread about Keith and his recent bad luck at
