Ok so we had people talking about what pass
they liked best. But what do you think are some good tricks with the pass? I was thinking of Passing along the vanishing aces and pass the sandwich. Best David Neighbors The Coinjurer |

I like to use the pass early in an ambitious card routine.
Sack subs, ok Ross?

A nice effect that utilizes the pass would be the Cavorting Aces. Jim Swain does this nicely on one of this tapes.

Actually, you can use the pass almost anytime you wish. Have the card inserted into the deck. Pass it to the top. That's a hundred billion tricks right there alone.
Jamy Ian Swiss has built up an entire routine showcasing his expertise with the pass but it isn't terribly magical. When the audience sees the hands jiggle, they know something just happened (they just don't know exactly what). I believe this detracts from the "magical" aspect of the routine and merely points to his incredible, undeniable skill. It looks marvellous but it certainly doesn't look miraculous. I've heard that Howie Schwarzman had a completely invisible pass (meaning: he used it judiciously and only when he knew he could get away with it, all angles being concerned). He never SHOWCASED it. As far as the audience was concerned, nothing happened. IMHO, the pass is better left unseen.

One of my favorites is of my own invention and is called The PASStrami sandwich (sorry about that name.)
The two black aces disappear from the top and bottom of the deck and appear in the middle of the deck with spectators freely named card in between them. |

Try Kaufmans 'On the Pass' video for his Jumping Aces trick. I use it a lot with 'Are you drunk or smoking something funny?' patter, ending with a turnover pass and leaving them on the table. They'll usually pick up the deck to discover the Aces have changed again.

I use the pass as a color change.I just hold the deck face up and do the pass and the card they saw now has changed to another.

I think Draun's trick is based on Marlo's "One Fantastic Move." I think the effect is that the red aces are in the center of the deck with a selection between them. The black aces are on top and bottom. The move puts the black aces in center with red on top and bottom and also reverses the selection in the middle (now between the black aces).
