Has anyone ever heard of someone doing a double cover pass? That being the top and bottom card do not move while doing the pass.

Yes....That will be the "Fake Double False Cover Pass With Chilli Sauce"
This can be found Volume two of Cu t Controls by Giv Hover. I think I fluked it once. P S Is has a 101 uses too but will take you about 70 years to perfect.
So much to do. So little time.

Larry Jennings showed me this back in 95 or 96 so the idea has been around. I've never come across a useful application for it myself. But who knows....?
Best, Dorian Rhodell |

Yes, please check out Duffie's latest Move Mastery 2, he did covered this pass and top and bottom cards stay in place if I am not mistaken.

Here's an easy way to do it: Just perform Aaron Shield's block dribble pass but retain the top card with your right fingers.
Now, what would be the use of retaining top and bottom cards? |

Steven Youell and I came up with a trick in the early 1990s using a pass like this. We called it the TAB (Top And Bottom) pass. I don't remember all of it any more, but the first phase involved placing the black aces face up on the top and bottom of the deck, and the red aces face up in the middle. The cards were riffled, and the black aces vanished and were in the middle of the deck between the red aces. I think we called it "Cavorting in the fifth dimension." I seem to remember working for months to do it deceptively, performing it a couple dozen times, and then letting it go. The move demanded too much continuous practice to keep it looking good, given how few applications it has.

I've played with it but can't find a meaningful application to make it worth perfecting.
I've done a bottom card cover pass for about fifteen years. Lot's of practical applications for that... |

True. Peter Duffie teaches this in Move Mastery 2.

Just fiddle around with a top card cover pass - but hold a pinky break above the bottom card and a third-finger break at the center. Then try to do a normal Top-Card-Cover-Pass with the top half exchanging with the lower half above the pinky break (wich is above the bottom card).
or much easier: Just hold a right thumb-break above the bottom card an do your top-card-cover pass - I use larry jenning's tccp an it's just as easy to do it as a double-cover-pass : So when you have your pinky break above the bottom card and a third-finger break at the center transfer the pinky break to a right thumb break and the third-finger break to a pinky-break - then just do the pass... |

Ken Krenzel has a top and bottom card/s cover pass which is explained in his video on the pass. This video has been around for a while, orginally released by Videonics now redone by L&L, but it is a shame that it isn't used more frequently by magicians since it looks great... but then again maybe it is good that not too many magicians use it. Thanks, Rich

The application is that it helps cover from the left side. If anyone knows any other apps then post them.

Peter Duffie mentions that this kind of cover pass is to convince the sitting spectator (assumably the performer is standing) that nothing happens. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I perform a pass which accomplishes the same as a side steal, I.e. A pass which gets the selected card to the top whilst retaining the order of every other card in the deck

I believe the move is a creation of Gordon Bruce, or at the least, it was Gordon who came up with the term - Double Cover Pass, both Gordon and myself have quite a few applications of it, but I guess most people don't bother learning it.

Jerry Sadowich published and whole bookled of uses for cover pass and some quick tricks with it. Absolutely genius work. Many variations included things where bottom card didn't chance as well.
