It's been a long time in coming (mainly because I work 6 days a week) but here's something resembling a tutorial video on the pass.

Not a month goes by without somebody asking for pointers and advice on the pass, so here goes...

Is this appropriate material for the open forum?

Good stuff, thank you.

That second disclaimer was harsh but fair

Excellent video - really well explained and demo'd. I'll be spending the rest of the evening practicing this. Many thanks.

The only problem - which this no-sound vid can't really help with - is how to make the pass totally silent. I suppose I could always cough to cover any handling noise!

Can I ask where you learnt to put your little finger all the way through the break like that? I believe it was a Vernon idea, but I'm not totally sure. I learnt to jam your little finger tip all the way into the break, works fine for me. Just goes to show how different techniques can work the same I guess!

Looking forward to working through this when my brain's a little less scrambled. Thanks!

Nice tutorial, but I've gotta agree with Lawrence and suggest it might be more appropiate if it was in this section of the forum .

I think it's a well explained/shown tutorial.

On the subject of the "right place". May i draw your attention to this thread - http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic4540.p ... t=top+shot which seemed to be both quite vigorously "explained", yet stayed in the support and tips section too without anyone moaning.

Errr, some of us newbies haven't got access to those areas. How can we learn if none of this kind of thing is available? Anyone who's read Royal Road knows about the pass, but a great video likes this makes all the difference to picking up the subtle points.

As they say on driving school cars "remember that you were a learner once". Thanks!

I love Disclaimer #2!
I actually laughed out loud! A little bit of wee almost came out!
Ok, sorry, too much info there...

Anywho, nice tutorial on something I've been meaning to learn for a whiley! Ta muchly!

I wish I could sit cross-legged...

Delightful pass. Really nicely done.
How can you sit like that, I'd be crippled!

God knows how anyone could see this as exposure, no tricks are exposed, just a move and you need to be pretty dedicated to magic to practice such a move. Exactly the type of person I am sure this video is aimed at.
Any chance the people who are asking for this to be moved are the people with access to the locked sections.

Thanks for this Queen, I've always had a lot of trouble with the pass, your video makes it seem simple.

Awfully decent of you to put a video together and post it on here. I'm sure it will be appreciated by many people. Is there a way of saving it to the hard drive, or is that not allowed?

I think women are just more bendy than men. I can't even bend my fingers back more than a few millimetres before the pain sets in.

If you have the latest version of Real Player Rep, you can mouse over the vid and a little box should appear above it giving you the option to save it.

If not, go to www.keepvid.com and go from there.

Very nicely performed Queen of Clubs and although I can perform it I still picked up on something that made it a tad easier for me to do, so am glad you put it on and I watched it.

As for it to be moved I am in two minds about it. Firstly anyone could come on and see how it's done but what use would it be to them it's merely a tool to use within a magicians arsenal not an eposure of any kind of effect but I can also see reasons for why it could be moved, Anyway I really don't envy the MODS having to make descisions like this everyday.
