With all due respect I really have to disagree with all the positive recommendations of this DVD. I received my copy today and I wasn't impressed at all.

I already have a pretty good pass, but I like the move a lot so I decided to buy this hoping that it would offer some tips on how to hone it to perfection.

He talks about covering the move using hand and arm movements, and it just looks so unnatural the way he does it. He reminds me of a puppet with strings coming down from the ceiling. Even the close-up pass demonstrations by Kaufman look clumsy and wooden, and I'd even go as far as to say I already have a much better pass than Kaufman's, and I bet the vast majority of magicians on this forum who use it do too.

Sorry, but I was very disappointed by this DVD.

I just got my copy of this dvd today and I have found it already very helpful to me. I already knew most of the techniques for the pass but was (and am) far from perfection. I think it's helpful to see somebody with the proper hand positions.

The dvd moves very fast, however, so i've been having to make the most out of my pause button!

I think this dvd is good for someone who already has a basic knowledge of the pass but is not very experienced with the rather difficult sleight.
