Hello. First of all, sorry for my English, not my primary language. Ok. I was practicing the classic pass in front of a mirror when I came across a slightly different classic pass handling. I would like to know if it already exists somewhere. First, you have a small angle with your deck (approx. 15o) Then, the top half does not go immediatly on the bottom, but it goes first toward you, then at the bottom. This is very important, toward you. When you bring the bottom half to the top, you can move it just a little bit in front of you, not much toward the spectator. I found that this small modification off the half going toward you makes the pass faster and more invisible. Also, try to work with your right thumb, putting it on different positions of the deck. Those who have problems with the classic pass should try it, with a bigger motion of the bottom going toward the spectator at first. It may seem confusing but try it a couple of times. Sorry if this small modification was already posted or mentionned somewhere, but I wanted to tell you guys. Please, try it and give me your impressions.

Sounds sort of like a jiggle or half jiggle pass.

In my mind the classic pass, even in the hands of an expert, Still looks fishy... the only time, I would ever dare to do this move is if I was sure that nobody was looking at the cards.

There are many sources that you might wish to check, "The Complete Works of Derek Dingle" for one.
As to angles / pressures / pull-around variations of the classic pass . . . they have been covered quite well in the literature. |

I have spent my time on the Classic Pass. I worked non-stop on it for a few months and have a really good pass. The only problem I have is I have a wild Classic Pass and a horriable -everything else-.
I have found that the only subtlties that I use are to: 1: Rock the wrists 2: Riffle the bottom stock 3: Push the upper left corner of the bottom stock down, creating a block for the other stock. - Cellini showed me that. Just learn the basics and do them well. That's all you need. -Casey |

I learned the pass by the video "On the pass" by Richard Kaufman. There are A LOT of passes on that video! And at the end he gives nice routines. There you can find a lot of handling for some pass that can fit your needs! And hey, bigmagictrout, I think ur talking about the half a jiggle pass.

Geoff Webber,
you mentioned that the pass looks fishy even in the hands of a pro. Well thats your opinion, what a shame you might not have not been exposed to great passwork that does not look fishy in the proper hands. I don't know of many moves in card magic which when done the magician is trying to attract the attention of the audience to see if they can or can't catch the sleight. Also, sometimes you just need a bit of guts when performing. Well, anyway, its up to you and your outlook towards magic. Its all good. Well, Thats all I have to say. Doug-The sponge. |

Yes, indeed, your description sounds like the Jiggle Pass.
