Great technique. Rifling the cards as you put them back together is perfect for putting the deck back together. I've been trying to find a way to put the deck back together without the two parts making the clapping noise.
i love the way you do the pass perfect angles and the pull deck back thing makes it much easyer ive been working on the pass for only a day and still not fast enough but i think ive got a lot better just by ur explaniation. thanks
mrbergkvist, that was just amazing, and i like the song choice - very catchy. For anyone that's interested, when he pulls the top packet of cards backwards, it is not sideways, parallel to the deck. Check out 1:34
Your explanation is one of the best I've seen and I've been doing magic for about 5 years now. Your use of a slight angle on the cards and pulling the bottom half in towards you was such a helpful concept. I found myself saying "why didn't I think of that!" Thank you!
Trick to pass is to not move the right fingers. You don't have to pull the upper packet at all, actually. I recommend listening to Aaron Fisher's lectures and going back to Erdnase.
You do it excellently, though I think a spectator would know what was happening.
Yeah. Your right. Allthough, the pass is a bit exaggerated in this video, for explanation purpose. I have a link in the discription of how I usually do it. It looks a bit different. ;)
@ReallyUnRealScape When you're handling the cards normally, your right hand fingers would never look like that. I use the top hand to pull up slightly on the bottom packet, with a relaxed bottom hand. This flips the top packet vertically. Then, gravity and a little finger pressure from the bottom hand will do the rest, and the bottom hand rises up to close the packets. It's tough to explain without showing. It's just the idea that your hands should appear as if they are doing nothing.
wery good pass and tutorial, but i want to know where or how did you got the pips of the cards in the right because y work like you with my right hand please tell me, when i do a fan it looks like bad plesee
it is way too hard for me. everytime i try to grab the top deck it spins and the cards mess up. please help!!!!! im crying thats how serious this is. (im not or am i... no please help!!!!)
argh I really have no idea how to do this. I've been working on it for quite some time and yet mine is sitll completely obvious.
Could you give a few tips about angles or stuff like that? Personally, I have no problems with the move itself, it's just that my top pack disappears so obviously.
This is a very good tutorial, but I have to ask 1 question. How come everytime I pull off the top deck, I can never get the whole deck to be pulled? In other words, im always pulling like 1 or 2 cards. lol its really annoying, you have any suggestions>
I guess I had that problem to when i started too. Maby you have very slippery cards? :P
I suggest that you start with pulling of small groups of cards, maby 10-15, just to get the hang of it. When you feel that you have control you can try to pull half a deck.
You will probobly notice that it will get easier the more relaxed your hands are. The cards should be pulled with balance, not with force.
well, good but the riffling of the cards (to cover sound) should be done only when starting off new with the pass,
once you get it down, you should be able to execute it without sound, and not having to riffle the deck. though those motions do add good cover to the actal motion of the pass.
this is the best pass tutorial i've seen. Seriously, very good. I've been practicing for about 4 months and have basically got it, but this video reminded me that the most important thing is to be relaxed...moving the slightly towards you when you make the pass really helps aswell though, thanks. ps, what do you do with your left index during the pass?
very very nice. thank you, i have been doig my pass gor awhile but i just wanted to get it down a little smoother and your video really helped out. thank you again.
my god, my god, u are my hero. that was just amazing. smooth, crisp, and clean. i can do the pass, but mine is not even close to yours. i had a problem in the middle when you bring the top half up, thx for the tutorial dude. AMAZING
This is easily the best tutorial for the pass that i've watched anywhere, i'm learning at at the moment and I find this video to be the biggest help i've had, thanks heaps and well done.
What a fantastic tutorial. I've watched countless pass tutorials on youtube, and this one takes the cake for explaination of what you are actually doing. I liked the freezeframes with written commentary, as this enables you to pause and read whilst trying out your method at the same time. Thanks for the tips on sleight. 10/10
thank you so much mrbergkvist! I have always had trouble with the classic pass but you tutorial has DEFINATELY made a difference. I am now very confident with my performance and it is all thanks to you! btw, I must agree with LOSM5 with you being one of the best on Youtube at performing the classic pass. Cheers!
Besides I always appreciate your choice of music and the atmosphere.
In my opinion you are nr. 2 or nr. 3 on Youtube, performing the pass (as "l'art pour l'art").
(The best is Kamm, whose technique of misdirection you adopted. falsedeal is also very impressing, but the quality of his video makes it difficult to say, what really happens there. ManiacCard004's videos, who is certainly also one of the best, contain too many distracting elements.)
merci !
