This short video is devoted to the training of one of the most underrated (for some people at least) points of the Pass: the noise.
I believe that a silent pass is a consequence of a good form maintained applying the correct technique, and that is what I am exercising and striving for.
And in order to do so I will be forever a student.

I used the dribble as a "sample" to relate all the other sounds (hopefully not many).

In addition, 3 angles are provided.

May your audience never burn the deck as a camera does.



Any suggestion or just any comment is appreciated.
I've trained the pass for... a lot, but I never stop studying.

PS: The first part of the title and the description is in italian, but I traslated it in English in this post and in the second part of the title.

You seem well on your way to having a noiseless pass.

But work on eliminating any hand movement. A silent pass is useless if you betray the move by sudden and unmotivated jerkiness of the hands.

Fair enough, what was I thinking?
Maybe I'm not at my best today, but at least I feel it's better than the previous one:



Thanks for making me notice this. Sometimes I just don't pay attention

That's a great pass and I'm sure when not being done static for a camera it would work but I was struck by the excessive squaring action too.

It would be interesting if you posted a video of you showing a card in the center and then NOT doing the pass. Just close the deck and square it.

A good point was made on keeping the hands stationary, but I have to mention that the jiggle pass has this exact rapid motions as a cover for the classic pass.
I'm a firm believer that there is no such thing as an "invisible" pass, mostly when performed to a camera that catches everything. That's not to find an excuse, but to contextualize a bit

It is a good pass by the way, it will fly by 99.5% of audience in real world.

Just a personal preference, instead of swing the deck back and front to cover the action of combine two halves, I prefer to riffle the top half follow by dribble the whole deck follow by. Just a thought for your consideration.

Nice to see an almost invisible pass as most videos on magic these days are crappy demo

Keep up the good work!

If my pass was anywhere near your videos, I would not worry a second about noise. I struggle with hiding the passed half with my hands as much as possible.
It takes a baby in the belly six months to learn how to put the thumb in the mouth.

The rest of life is essentially the same problem.
