Somewhere in the same conversation he goes on to talk about !@#umptions, and that a spectator might be just as likely to conclude they made an incorrect !@#umption rather than conclude that they saw magic. |

Oh for Pete's sake. We can't say as-sumption on the Café?

He would place one coin in his hand and then perform a click pass with the second coin. The sound on the performance video was not the greatest (what's with Penguin showing all performances for people on the elevated cross walks on the Vegas strip?) but there was a very audible "click" of the coins striking. Then he stated "Here the click?" That's really what prompted me to post my question. |

The age of home video production has produced quite a few pros who would have been better served by waiting for L&L to produce their amazing new ideas. Jay lectured in San Francisco a few months ago to mixed reviews. The kids loved him and his free embossed poker chips (for practicing the muscle pass, of course!) the adults walked away feeling a little gyped... I didn't go, as I had just attended a lecture and workshop by Jeff McBride ($$$). Priorities, you know...

The clink pass is a subtlety and I've yet to see a subtlety that needs to be pointed out. Their entire purpose is to aid an effect in a subtle way.
However, if you perform it for me please point it out (I'm deaf.. ). Ron Jaxon |

The original question about: "Hear the click?" could it be the timing is wrong?
I have read this thread and in general agree about you needn’t run if you’re not being chased and other comments along these lines. But, there are several well know performers’ DVDs where they say something like. “If you listen closely you will hear the coin travel.” Quite often “watching” the coin travel by moving their head and eyes from one hand to another. Followed by the coin release which results in the sound. Seems to work for me as well as their audience. Depending on how it is done there is a large variation in audience response. It can run the gambit from magical to humorous.
An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

Mr. Ree,
That's totally different and acceptable. The topic is about a Click Pass. |

Jaz,
Thanks. I will have to get a clearer understanding of "click pass". I don't know how to tell the difference when watching a video, without an explanation, if someone is doing a "click pass" or what I described. Guess it must be "known" by what phase the routine is in?

Hard to explain Click pass since this is an open forum. All I can say is... J. B. Bobo Chapter 2: Basic Technique by Paul Morris.
