For those that want a measure their ability with this sleight. The conceptual aim of the pass is to cut the deck with no discernible motion which in the real world is almost impossible. So my question to the community and as a benchmark to rate your own work is this: Can you perform a classic...

Hi josh, I'm in the UK too! I started a little before you at 17 I believe. Everyone was there once no worries just practise a little everyday, enjoy the small things, and you'll be beyond any expectation you have now before you know it!

Everyone builds up their own unique processes, especially the obsessed, these methods tend to come from intrinsic motivation by finding the smallest building blocks. Fortunatly good magic materials provide this but attitudes can overlook truly absorbing nuances. I personally believe that...

I see something happening and its not the pass. In the video your hands aren't consistent, yes you can do the actual pass really well but the 'moves' you do around the pass take too long. For instance the second pass you do starts at 0.19 and ends at 0.40 with card return at 0.24. You can't...

I agree full heartedly with your opinion sleights such as the pass cannot be learnt like the glide or glimpse. A person can only be truly proficient at the pass if they adapt it exactly to their own hands, to their style. That is the reason behind all the different pass techniques that continue...

What other sources have you used to develop your classic pass? You noted Aaron Fisher but I hope you realise that he condones the emphasis pulling of the left fingers. Also I see tension in your left arm muscles, your left thumb has a weird twitch and you left elbow juts outward, do you...

I must say at first glance it does look similar to Kirk Kokinos's angel coin vanish but with extra refined touches, a very nice piece of art!

Get the participant to shuffle and deal, that would be a winner.

I'm glad I was of help, it seems that you have everything sorted. I will wish you the best although I have one final word for you which has personally helped me in gambling demo situations. If you decide to perform this for participant have a couple of pseudo methods under your belt it will pay...

I generally quite liked your video although there are a few issues I would personally address if I were using a routine such as this. You are acting as the role of a mechanic therefore it would be wise to reduce the amount of flourishes, I understand that the routine is based on proving skill...

I would like to post my thoughts, over the time I have been here I have learnt a lot of interesting and wonderful things mainly from magicians such as Morgan B, Steerpike and Praetoritevong their posts have really inspired me. I feel that with out these generous people I wouldn't be at the level...

If any one is interested here are my favourites, I complied them for the mash up contest, if you haven't seen it here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_8teAdEcZI

One assumption I take is the face up cards are distributed with through shuffling with no markings or bridges so it is safe to assume that in half the deck there are 5 face up cards not necessarily in equal order so count 26 cards off the deck which is face up or face down. In each hand there...

Bob Kohler's black envelope Pure brilliance

There is a way of the spectator to shuffle every card yet it will always be completely false...

I have a suggestion why not let the specators be part of the invisable palm routine?

I used to do a small routine a couple of years back with lipsticks/chap sticks I came up with some interesting vanishes, it isn't that original but it was fun experimenting with something else. Oh and I have played with chocolate wrappers, SD cards and tea light candles just another thing to...

Surly this thread is a bit off as isn't a slight defined everything you do not want your audience to be aware of. A slight such as the double lift or pass is normally made up of tiny sections but they are slights none the same. A pass can be broken down into many parts, if any of these flash the...
