Pretty cool, although I personally think this should be inside the "Advanced" category rather then "intermediate".

@j.bayme I don't mean to argue, we both have our opinions. The jiggling and shaking of the pack has always been known to be a bad way to do the pass. I understand it's for an "HD" camera, but he could've just done the riffle pass without that motion. Akria Fuji's classic pass is almost invisible on camera, and he uses no excessive movement. I agree with ReadMoreMagicBooks. too much motion & flashing

Has this "always been known" before or after Taylor and Elias published it as The Jiggle Pass in 1946? Yes, he could have done another pass - that is why multiple ideas are included in the video. ;)

I am a fan of the Jiggle Pass, but not this much.. I saw too much motion and flashing.

@ willabbotsm: Please stay quiet, every word you say make you sound more like an idiot @ j.bayme : Don't even consider wasting your time on these type of people, they don't deserve it

I watched it again, holy christ that was awful. the way you do it, you're just calling attention to it. the pass is supposed to be done on the offbeat, not with a huge shaking motion.

Not sure if you're joking or serious, but this video was intended to be a demonstration of the pass. Of course you could see it - he was demonstrating it in front of a full frame, high definition, zoomed-in camera lense - not using it covertly in a routine. Jason is one of the best card mechanics - and one of the most well read - alive today. If there is one person that knows exactly how to make the pass work in real life situations - it's him. Within the instructional video, Jason discusses exactly how to present it and how to make it invisible. Of course, there are a multitude of alternative passes that one may prefer. But for now, we wanted to start with the basic, the classic.

Looks amazing. The pass is something every magician should know. But man, you do it so unnoticably.
