Hey guys,

I'm having angle problems with my classic pass. It seems that when I'm pulling the bottom packet back in with my left fingers, no matter how much more I practice you can still see the bottom packet packet being pulled in. Is it just the angle, or is it technique? Thanks.
 
you have to distinguish the riffle pass and the move of riffle. you can check bill malone's dvd "on the loose", it tells a way of doing the pass with riffle move both before and after the pass.and it's the way i do, i think better and more natural
 
as visualartist said, you really don't need a perfect pass to begin performing. It should be done during misdirection, preferably talking with your spectator. Just don't loook at the cards, and you'll be fine. If you can't get people to take their eyes off the pack, you're probably just not very entertaining in the first place. :)
 
Yeah thanks Will. I normally ask them a question about the card that they've just picked to get them thinking while I then do the pass. When I'm asking the question I just casually riffle the cards so when I do a riffle pass (while they're thinking) it doesn't arouse any unnecessary suspicion. Anyway, when it comes to doing my pass I tilt the cards down so now it's invisible. Thanks!
