In direct effects such as ACR, those Passes can be used much effectively. A pass which seems to be some other overt action, such as a casual riffling of the pack or a dribbling of the cards to show that you are not keeping track of the location of the selection is a much better use of the techinique than to use it in an Ambitous Card routine. If you use these actions to control the card to the top (or bottom) of the pack and do not show it there you have a deceptive act. If you put a card in the center of the pack, do something and then show the card on top of the pack you're not doing magic, you're exposing technique. |

If you insert the card face up in the center of the deck and the card appears on the top (face up), I call this as a "Visible Effect/Direct Effect". If you insert the card face down in the center of the deck and the card appears on the top (face down), I call this as a "Invisible Effect/Logical Effect". (Because you show only the result of rising movement). I think Dribble, Riffle or Jiggle Pass can be used more effectively in former type of ACR effect. Hideo Kato |

I used to use the riffle pass, but it occured to me that it was obvious I was doing the pass everytime I riffled the deck. Now it's the classic pass, or if I'm scared then a cover pass. I also use the Herrmann turn-over pass for one trick.

Just for the fun of it, he'd tell magicians to stare at his hands and then tell them he was going to do a pass, and still nobody could see it, me included. That being said, I'd suggest that you perform the Jiggle Pass only if a jiggle of the deck fits your mannerisms. I'm a somewhat fidgety person, so a jiggle wouldn't look out of place for me. |

The most effective part of the jiggle pass for me is the angle at which the top packet is brought to the bottom. A lot of time a covering 'jiggle' end motion is hardly required.

In that position, the movement of left fingers are more covered by right hand. I noticed this point and recently I do Classic Pass in this position. Hideo Kato |

Personally, I use a Hermann-style pass under cover of a slight body turn from the specs on my right to the specs on my left. I'm no technician (which is one reason I use this--it's quite simple), but I have performed it in front of some pretty "heavy hitters" who were "burning" me, and it flew right by them. When I did it for Reed McClintock, he looked at me and said, "Did you really DO a pass there?"
