Despite the instructions for the pass all being right-handed and I'm a lefty but I managed it. (The right handed version) And learnt the fundamentals quicker than I thought, it's just then a matter of perfecting it.
I haven't really tried any of the variations on the pass yet, but the classic ones does me for the purpose I need it for.

I wouldn't say it was essential, but it's worth knowing.

Chris, you are indeed a robot.

Quick question...

I have been using the spread pass now for a while, but judging from what I've read here I might have been actually performing the spread cull by mistake.

The one where the spread goes through the entire deck but the chosen card is culled to the ****** in the process?!?

hmm the classic pass...
well there is only one reason i dont like it:
once you spread the cards out and back together you have to readjust your grip.. thats in my opinion the big flaw in this wonderful move.
generally there are two types of passes ey?

bottem to top (classic pass) & top to bottom (herman pass)

In live situation i really like to use the top to bottom method like the spread pass, its just
spread out, spread back, bum, its done...no readjusting^^

Hi aavelyn,

You're right, I don't like the 'adjusting' of the grip that is involved in the get-ready. Although it always goes unnoticed, it's not actually necessary and I'm trying to circumvent it.

You know? I'm envious of those who have mastered this sleight in ten minutes.
Mr Lewis?

I'm eight months on this puppy.

Anyhow, this gentleman has a good classic pass that requires no get-ready.

He's called Jonathan Kamm (I think) and he puts a lot of his stuff on youtube. He looks very talented and if you have a look at his page he has a video on 'pass tips'.

Ps anyone got any answers to my question above?!??

yeah i watched it...well im not convinced... you have no get ready here because there's no spread.
The actual get ready is more or less getting the right hand from spread to
biddle grip AND the square up...
If he is just swing cutting the pack he is already in the position for the move...
but he hast a nice and FAST pass^^
