It's very nice of you to want to help others to learn the pass but I'm sure it's better not to post in on the forum. If someone wants help let that person pm you. That simple. After all... it's not your move, is it?:)

Well I love it, top job.

I have bought loads of stuff, including a download that had loads of things in it including how to do this pass. But for the life of me I cant do it.

I understand how to do it, but just can't do it. Not got the right hands for it i think.

keep up the good work.

Dude that was fantastic… I’m just now starting to feel comfortable with the classic pass… but you make it look so smooth, I’m very impressed. Thanks for giving me something to shoot for.

I have been trying to learn the pass properly for ages, I could do it but only under misdirection as I got a lot of bleeding out the side and underneath, with Fireshowers tips and some practice in front of a mirror I finally feel as though I am getting it. I still need to practice it but thanks FireShower, you've been a great help.

I THOUGHT YOUR PASS WAS SO GOOD THERE WAS A DUPLICATE CARD INVOLVED, GREAT STUFF

Hey, I'm glad to see that my tips help, I'm trying to improve my pass too, so there's always room for improvement.

I'm completely open to tips too, guys :D

I'm not familiar with that certain pass, although I do know others, and however you did it, I couldn't spot a thing. The only thing I can suggest is try to relax more. Relaxing your hands will actually make it faster.

No no, that guy who left the post is just some jerk who leaves comments on all my pass videos. About 2 weeks ago I had a rather slow pass which I posted and he said it was horrible. 2 weeks later with my much faster pass I posted another video and he left that comment saying it's still bad and that making it faster doesn't affect anything.

I personally think he's some stuck up snob who thinks he's the best passer in the world when really his passes are terrible. The only reason you can't see his passes is because the lighting is so dang dark, the time he leaves the card face up is a testament to that because you can CLEARLY see the peel.

I don't think I'm an excellent passer but no...I would never EVER edit any of my videos to make something look faster or slower or anything.

I thought your pass was incredibly fast, and very well done. The pass is something I've been playing with for a long time I'd realising the powers of misdirection in live performances I've focused my attention on making my hands look as innocent as possible rather than as fast as possible.

Go out and try it on some people if you haven't already - It's my preferred top control. Work on how your misdirection works with your technique in real situations. A pass like yours with good enough misdirection will help in fooling magicians (which is always good).

Finally, someone who understands :lol:

Quite honestly, if someone is burning my hands, I won't do a pass, I'll do a diagonal palm shift or a double undercut. Why you all might ask? It looks pretty good to me! (and by the way, I am NOT a master of the pass)

Because when you square the deck, who does a quick rocking motion back and forth, besides magicians? It's simply not natural!

If the person averts their eyes for even a second I actually won't rock the deck, I'll just execute an incredibly fast pass without moving my hands more than absolutely necessary. The reason I rock the deck is really in order to hide the pass when I'm performing for 3+ people (because one person is usually watching my hands at all times).

Believe me guys, a natural pass is an invisible pass. If you jump up and down, wave your arms around, and spin in circles while doing the pass, nobody will see it. But they'll know something happened to that deck while you had your back turned.
