thz so much i have been practising classic pass for a long time but i still can't do it perfectly, afterr seeing your video, i know where is my problem
How can I increase the speed of my pass ? I've go trouble passing the top half to the bottom quickly without getting caught ... Is there something I can buy to practice? I haven't got the cards to do 2 blocks of cards ... HELP please !
@xNicoTiK make sure your fingers are barely contacting the top packet.. it screws up if the top packet is contacting your fingers... and just keep practicing!
You need to work more on your pass. The major problem you have is that what as known as the Triangle of death. Is very visible while your performing your handling on the pass.
Ok first off, before you can TEACH ANY MOVE, you should do it well first. This was terrible, I dont care how long ago it was posted. Akiras's pass is a beautiful move, and you;re just exposing it in a TEXT RESPONSE?!!?! When magicians talk about guys who ruin and expose magic, they mean you. You don't even deserve to know how to do this move.
@chillindlas No. I didn't rewatch my video, but I'm pretty sure I said that you can use the right hand ring finger to lift up the deck. I just found out recently, but this is also how Akira Fuuji (an amazing Japanese magician at the classic pass) does his pass. Using the ring finger enables faster execution of the pass. Try it out with and without and find the right one for you =)
@Chocobaby1990 Hi Choco. The Akira Fuji Classic pass is the same as any classic pass. However, note that people over time make their personal minor variations to passes (such as the way they position their hands). Akira Fuiji's pass so nice and flawless because he practiced a lot and knows how to angle himself properly.
@Chocobaby1990 I'll try to explain the riffle pass, since my camera is not working right now. 1) Do the pass, [choose either 2a or 2b, which ever is more comfortable for you] 2a) in the classic pass hand position (assuming you are right handed), the left thumb will push down the center of the deck after doing the pass. At the same time, the right thumb will riffle the card upwards immediately after the pass.
@Chocobaby1990 Post continued...... 2b) Instead of using the thumb, after the pass, your right index will curl and push down on the top of the deck and continue to riffle the card upwards using your right thumb after doing the pass.
after practice, you should get it good and unnoticeable .Remember, there is no shortcut to doing the pass well. It's all practice to get the know-how yourself.
i can do the pass pretty quickly i just cant hide it worth a crap! i have video taped myself and practiced with freinds, infront of a mirror, you name it. I just cant hide it, they always see me do it. it seems like ive tried every angle on a prtractor possible! and when every one elsedoes it they hide it so well. Like you. Idk if its the size of my hands or what, i just cant get away with the invisible or the classic pass without being spotted or making a ruffle noise
@flubber924 The ruffle noise should disappear after more practice, unless if for some reason, you may not be doing it correctly. Your hand size "could" be the problem, although as long as it isn't small, you should be able to manage well.
Maybe you already have, but try taking the deck, go into the pass position, and then adjust the angles in front of the mirror to shown only the top of your right hand. Then try the pass. You will see the pass being done, but make sure your left hand isn't.

@littleguymagic Haha, a little embarrassing to say, but no, those are just good-for-nothing dollar store cards that has bee designs called omaha. They are decent quality for a dollar, but no way can be compared to bicycles or bees or other brand name cards.
great pass mann... i also suggest putting slight downward pressure one the top outside corner (if Ur right handed put pressure on the top left n if ur left handed put the pressure on the top right) this tip will make the transition a little bit faster good luck to all practicing magic... it takes time but its worth it!
@darkbatwing To do it quickly, you merely need to practice. Trust me when I say this: this took me several hours of practicing the pass daily for around a month in front of a mirror before I got comfortable with it. There is no easy way out. You may have noticed already, but without patience, anyone attempting to learn magic should just quit (I'm not saying you should so don't misunderstand =D)
Don't worry. You will get it fast quickly so don't give up and good luck! =)
whenever i try to do it i can always see the top packet, my right hand doesn't cover it no matter what. I am still working on it though because i am hoping speed will help a lot with the visibility and i am sure practicing will help me find new ways to hide it. I am just wondering if you have anymore tips for angles?
As I have mentioned before in my other classic pass tutorial video, the CLASSIC pass is not ideal to perform when people are looking at your hand. The classic pass is more useful when people aren't looking at your hand and you want to control the card quickly. The cover the movement of the packets, you would ideally use something like the invisible, spread, or turnover pass. The classic pass is just the building block for the more advanced passes so don't get too stressed out over the angles =D
What do you mean? Do you mean making the deck change colour or changing the face of the card like a normal colour change? If so, both of them just require a normal pass (or different ones depending on the circumstances).
hey i need some help.. when im practising in the mirror, it is obvious that the spectator will see that i take the top packet to the bottom even when im trying to cover with my right hand... pls give me some tips to help with my angle and cover.. thx.
Hmmm... Will you tell me how quickly and how smoothly you can get your pass done? Also, you need to try out in almost all angles to find the one for you. Also depending on you height, you may need to adjust the angles for the spectator's view. The most obvious reason that I can guess is that right now, you need more practice in gaining speed. Try searching for the invisible pass. If I am correct, videos teaching you it will give you a clear answer on how to rid you of the problem. good luck :D
yea i think i need more practice.. but how they cover their pass and make it smooth??? like u, u can cover the top packet to bottom... how???? is it because my hand is to small??
I believe that hand size is not something that really affects your pass, since my hand is not very big either (I can BARELY palm a card). Can you tell me from what angle you can see the pack move? such as from the top, the bottom, your left, your right, upper right, etc? Also, covering the pass comes from a tilt in the hand. If you watch the tutorial for the invisible pass, then you can see that people tilt their hands to cover the packs moving. It's hard to explain in words so I try watching it
may many numerous blessings befall gravitation for his fantastic videos and the good that they have served to mankind. Praises upon you, dear sir, you explain in detail and with empathy
hey gravitation, i've been practicing the pass but im still really an amateur at it. when i watch videos everyone does it so clean and nice. how fast are you guys actually doing it? whenever i watch myself i seem to be doing it really sloppily and i can always see my left hand exposed whenever i do it. any tips?
Hey chibikishi. To answer your question, one of the best ways to answer that would be "with practice comes speed." People who have done the pass for a long time can do it faster than amateurs because they kept practicing. BUT, speed isn't very important. With practice, people can do it as slow as they want and still not be noticed. The MOST important aspect in the ANGLE (at least in my opinion).
Why, you may ask? Because if people are looking at your hand all the time, there are 2 major flaws: 1) You aren't giving good misdirections; 2) Those people are just weird to look at your hands the entire time, although not uncommon. I also used to do it VERY sloppily when I first started. However, although it is a cliche saying, if you keep on persevering and practice, you will DEFINITELY improve greatly. For your angle problems, play around with the angle in front of a mirror.
Try turning your hands/body each time you do the pass to find YOUR best angle. Usually, the mirror reflects what others see. LASTLY, try it on a friend or a family member you can trust to keep a secret. They will tell you when they can see the pass done and when they can't see it. BUT REMEMBER!!! Only try it on others (even as just a test) after you have practiced and you feel a little bit more confident. Hope this helps :) Thanks for watching.
Oh! And to sum things up, this may make things much easier to practice. In my classic tutorial video, I give a suggestion near the end to take an old deck, tape each quarter together as blocks to practice the pass. This way, it doesn't get frustrating to drop the cards or when cards go out of place. This kind of practice will give you the basic foundation for the pass. After you can do it well with those, try it with your normal deck. Good luck!
thanks a lot! i pretty much am able to move the top portion of the deck down correctly without having the cards move everywhere, it just doesn't look smooth at all when i do it though. i'm also having trouble with the angles as well. i use my left hand to pull the top packet down and the right hand to pull bottom pack up. do you have any tips for pulling the bottom pack up? cause when i do it, it comes up angled so it looks like the pack changed position
The pass will eventually smooth itself out as you practice and I guarantee it. At first, it may seem very difficult or even hopeless, but with practice, you will get faster and faster, as your hand gets used to it. Then it will look smooth. Concerning your angle problems, that is very normal. Once you get speed, the angle of the bottom pack coming up will be disregarded, as it will be barely visible. Also, the classic pass isn't meant for it to be done while someone is looking at your hand.
when i do the pass the card im trying to revealed get swiped to the bottom with the top packet.
(example)
i put the 7 of diamonds in the center and want to do the pass to reveal it. i have my pinky break on top of the 7 of diamonds and go to slide the packet to the bottom with my left hand. the 7 ends up getting swiped by the top packet and it goes to the bottom face up. any tips?
I have had similar experiences before and rarely, I do have the same trouble still.
Try this:
1) Hold the break like you are doing as you are doing it correctly
2) use your left hand pinky and ring finger to lift the top packet first before making any movements with your right hand, bringing the bottom pack up.
3) Make sure that you lift the TOP packet first. If you move both packets at the same time, the pinky will drag the card you want to control.
Yes it has. I've done it surrounded from all angles and was never caught. I also [i think] in the Expert Card Tequnique it is said in there that the classic pass should be invisible from all angles. I think it was that book, it might have been another though.
i thank u so mutch i will send u a massage, but right now i m to tired (it is 3:14 am ^^)
one point i'd like to mention...could it be that full colored back decks conseals it quite better than a "normal" red/blue bicycle deck with white rims?
