A little piece of advice, a pass doesn't need a misdirection. In general, all sleights that look like you're not doing anything ( top change, pass .. etc ) are better done under misdirection, but some of these can be done with skill, that you don't really need misdirection to achieve the effect...

I like to make my online videos to minimum :)

I'm no way near master, and I did not put this video to show off ( which is one reason you don't see hard metal tracks in the back ). I put it for feedback, I only recently performed the pass for a live audience. I honestly don't know why people put pass videos with music with it, and keep it...

The the above tutorial, the packets touch, the right hand packet does the work. I talked enough about touching vs none-touching in my above post. I recommend looking into the The Pass Book or Card College for more details. ~ Feras

I have a video of Akira teaching the above pass, he uses the technique I talk about above, in fact, a very similar idea to Derek Dingle. See Card College 2 for more info. The packet touch, but with minimum friction, which is what I'm working on. :) The other pass, there is also a sound of...

RichmanMatthew: ( I copy-pasted your username,I hope there aren't no mistakes :P ) Nope, how do you transpose the packets with great speed then? Now you will tell me that the left hand is the one doing the work, which is a slower way to do the pass, unfortunately, its one of the common errors...

Guys, I made the noise intentionally! These were riffle passes ( I riffled the back of the deck ). I use this as a color change, the riffle serves as a magical gesture, you riffle and blow on the deck, and the card changes. The riffle also serves as a sound cover for the friction between the...

Hey there, I need feedback on the classic pass. No editing what so ever so you'll hear the sound of the TV, and most importantly, the sound of the pass ( which is ignored in almost every pass video due to the hard rock music .. ) I understand that any poor pass can be made great in camera, but...

Great social advice: Treat people like you want to be treated.

A magic shop with an online forum ...

Alrighty dejavu05, check for Rosini's magical gems ( I think thats what its called ), Miracle Methods series by Fred Braue and Hugard ( they only have vol.4 now, its for stacking and gambling effects, try it out even if you dont like it, you'll fool yourself doing the stuff over there ). Edward...

If you arent willing to research yourself, I'm not sure if the site is really for you ...

Its the same as world wide really, take out a deck of cards while you're with card players and you either get asked to watch their 21 card trick, or to cut to 4 aces after they shuffle, or just sit back and watch your magic. Card games is at their prime in Middle East, games like Baloot...

Keep in mind that the sleight would look as if you inserted the card into the deck, and then hand it out to be shuffled, you can control it to the bottom too obviously, and to the top with some modification. A video of a very good DPS would really help, here you go, its the before- last move in...

Over the magic cafe', some magicians offer their lecture notes for free from time to time ( Steve Youell did sometime ago ). I know a very good and knowledgeable magician over youtube who shares his trick ( a very good one actually ) after he checks your profile and you add him to friends ( to...

Thats how Vernon fooled Houdini. Vernon openly put the card 2nd from the top, DL showing it on top,, then show its a single card, then repeat again. There is a video in youtube on this, also a chapter in one of Vernon's Inner Secrets. :)

Don't know it I sounded ignorant, I don't get updated magic news. Whats the clip shift?

As a Marlo freak, I feel the urge to correct you! Jennings created the original one which is called Open Travellers, Marlo actually had a version ( he called it the Invisible Palm too ) which uses angle palms to achive a very clean handling. I've seen it on video, VHS called Private Studies I...

Since I seriously doubt that anyone would buy a computer and hook up with internet, purely just to learn magic off the web, then, no. ~ Feras

I don't want to get in the battle going on ( I have college to attend and sleights to practice ), but I would like to say this. Brad Christian taught the effect really well. For those intrested, The last trick ( where you say you'd turn the card over ) is credited to Jean Hugard, which I think...
