Nope you just put it on your website for people to buy it but I just looked it up. You are an awesome magician and you tuber so keep up the great work love your content!
Jarek i have been learning from you since this past summer and i am constantly impressed and pleased with your tutorials. Having said that, your new pass tutorial is way better than that of your past one. You have inspired me spend all of my waking hours practicing magic, thanks for all of your tutorials and advice.
Jarek, thanks for all your time explaining all these moves! I learned the one handed palm by Brian Brushwood and it took me along time to learn. This pass along with your instructions helped me learn it quickly and now look forward to practicing the move to perfect it.
Hi Jarek, I'm french (leave near Paris) and I started closeup magic tricks in may so I'm just a beginner but I just wanted to thank you so much for your great tutorials and specially those about the pass and the double lift. That really helps a lot. Please continue!
for those of you that have smaller hands, ive figured out that if you hold the very left corners of the bottom packet between your middle finger and thumb while in the exaggerated pinky break thing and just lift it up and over the top packet with the ring finger , it makes it a lot easier. and also it is easier to move your thumb on the left hand completely out of the way when doing the pass so it will be easier to clear the top packet instead of "jamming" the bottom packet into the left thumb. and ALWAYS remember to relax your hand a bit when doing the classic pass
Thank you for this. As a beginner magician this is by far the most detailed I've seen for this pass yet! And thank you for the small hands suggestion with the credit cards! I literally got the pass motions down in a matter of minutes (though nowhere near good enough to perform in front of people. Lol!) My hands suck at magic but this tutorial helped out a lot! So thanks again! In fact all of your tutorials are amazing! They engage me in a way that makes me continue to learn as a beginner. So thanks for everything!
I love the synchronicity of when I'm following along with a tutorial and the card I flip over is the same one in the video. It's like the trick is like "It's your time to learn me"
Love you jarek! (No homo) xD I've learned quite a bit from you my friend! Up to the point where people are wanting to pay me to entertain their parties and gatherings! The look you can get from people's faces, and the overall reaction from an audience is what makes it all worth while :)
Hey Jarek - "Snap Change" (aka Suit Change) -prep card deck with doubled up of all the same values but opposite color (example: red Ace, black Ace, black 8, red 8, red 3, black 3, ect, ect ...) -briefly show under side of deck via fan (to show no funny business, eg classic bs) -shuffle (once to minimize disturbing the deck) -peal 2 as if 1 (ideally of same value hence first step) -then set them (tossing them as if only 1 to reaffirm the notion of 1 card) squarely face up atop of the face down deck. -prep for single handed pass with pinkie under edge via a natural hand fidget and perhaps squaring if you tossed. -snap the fingers of your free hand as you gesture over the top of the most visible part of the pass, done in sync with the passes first part (moving 1st face up card perpendicularly over the edge of the deck in your hand) .. aka the magic part. -you complete the illusion by 'squaring the deck' while transitioning the deck itself from hand to hand, while the 2nd half of the actual pass completes by being slid under the deck by the losing hand. (obviously this can sometimes not actually be the same value if pealed unluckily. so being a bit ambiguous about the change itself in your wording is the wisest when performing)
dont often comment on videos but this helped me so much. just needed to look at it a little differently and the two heavy card practice tech is brilliant. thank you
You make everything look so easy. I hope I will become at least a quarter of how good you are right now. Keep teaching people and great things will happen!
A slight variation, this can be used to control a card to 2nd from top. With chosen card placed in middle as per video, before gripping top half into pinky & ring finger, break up the top card. Then pulling the top half out and under as usual, will leave chosen card 2nd from top. Useful for various routines. Alternatively, when putting the top half on the deck prior to break, grab the pinky break by pulling one card down from the top stack; this also places chosen card to 2nd from top.
One thing that helped me pick this up fairly quickly, I'm still not too great at it yet, but I didn't find it as hard as I thought based on what he was saying, but anyway, a good way to practice this is to do lots of one handed cuts. The motions are very similar to what you were showing. The main problem I have is the same I have is the same problem I have with trying to do the clip shift, I can't seem to hide my wrist movement enough.
Hey Even i'm a big fan of your work. I've been working on the pass for the past month or so and this is sure to really help out, thanks a lot man. I was also wondering if you're still living in LA. I'm in San Diego and i'm really looking for a few like minded magicians to work with and learn from. Thanks a bunch for all the help.
just a few tips: when you are practising it, make sure to get the technique or the "movements" perfect before making it more difficult by using more cards.
Oh my gosh. Thanks very much Jarek for this tutorial this is gonna help a lot. Cheers bro keep doing what you do best and stay awesome :D sub from Singapore.
tnx for this tutorial, i just started and am using the 2 card that you teach in practicing this move till am confident enough to do it in a full deck, i also tried practicing it with doing the Angel and Charleur Cut
I learnt it completely by the time you finished the video Great tutorial mate. Now just gotta practice and perfect. Hoping to nail it in a week. Does that make me a genius?
when I do the pass my pinky finger grab the card I want bring to the top so it bring the card to the bottom of the deck. Do you have a tip so it does not happen?
What I like to do sometimes is pinch the card with my pinkie so it goes to the bottom with the top half of the deck. Or slid the top card over just enough where the card becomes the second one from the top. I like doing that for one trick
Thank you for very detailed and awesome guide! First i tought this is hard but few hours of practice and im getting pretty good at this! Thanks to your videos :)
While practicing this, I noticed that occasionally I would accidentally turn over the card under the break. I think I figured out how to not do that, but then I got interested and started figuring out how to do that on purpose, so that you end up with the chosen card upside down in the middle of the deck. I'm still working on it, so I don't know how effective it will be; but do you know if anyone else already does that, what if might be called, any existing tutorials, etc?
I have kept this a secret for a year. The one hand cut pushing off with the thumb then grab the pushed up packet and rotate it to the other hand quickly like a regular cut.
My advice for using a full deck is to use a VERY old deck. I dug out an old deck I used for inhand riffle practice long ago, deck is quite sticky now and makes it considerably easier to handle.
thank u so much ur tutorial really helped me to get it i thought this would be one of the things i could never learn But i think i got the feeling now thank u so much
I could do the pass "well" in that I could move the top pack of cards to the bottom. I can hold the cards easily with no risk of spilling or miscontrolling cards, but it was so obvious what I did. I figured out a trick though. Once you have the control to handle the cards throughout the motion, don't use your bottom hand as much. Instead of pulling the cards off, turning them vertical, then placing them on bottom, simply pull the bottom pack through the top pack. With the control you've built up, the bottom pack with naturally turn the top pack, allowing you to switch the locations without having to open your bottom hand as much. By limiting the amount of movement your bottom hand has to do, it looks much more natural. Just have to watch out for creating a scraping noise which only happens if you're holding too tightly.
Hey Jarek 1:20, I just learned the classic pass and i keep running into the same problem. I run into taking only the top card of the top packet to the bottom. How do I avoid/fix this? Thanks!
I have practiced a lot but everytime I perform this pass, my pinky will stick to the top card of the bottom packet and automatically transfer it to the bottom of the deck, that will screw things up as I really want that card to be on the top of the deck, what should I do?
I want to know what happens to your middle finger on your left hand. Do you put also use it to grab the deck of cards like the ring finger on your left hand or what? Because I use it to grab the deck of cards like my ring finger on my left hand to have better balance and im afraid im doing it wrong.
I have a question about this pass. I have been practicing it for a while now, and it's quite simple with the credit cards. But when i move to full/half decks, my pinky cannot hold the deck strong enough and the middle cards that my picky should hold slip out. I was able to fix this by using both my pinky, and pointing finger to do the pass, by putting them BOTH between the cut, while having the middle and ring finger on top. This made the whole pass much, much easier for me. I just wanted to know if this is a bad habit, and will make it harder to expand with this move, when making this pass more hidden for example, or if it's a small divination that does not hurt other slight of hands later on. I know you explained that if it does not feel comfortable, experiment. Which i have, I just want to know if there are any negatives you see in the way I do it. Thanks!
yes actually there are your point finger is visible by the ppl in front of you and if you do perform it getting into position to execute the move will make it visible (there is a big gap in front that isn't covered by anything) and also it makes your hands look stiff .
when you do the classic pass, you should close your fingers. it may be hard not to lift up your pinkie. But if you practice it, it will help you do better pass
Amazing. thank you. i was able to do this move with in about 5 mins with a full deck. granted i have large hands. add a few false cuts and it makes a great trick.
Hey Jarek120, I got a question... I can sort of do the pass but the only problem is that the bottom card always flips over in the middle of the move. Any tips on how to fix it?
Ok, in the video when you do it at normal speed you do not lift the bottom packet? your slow motion tutorial says lift to meet, is this just because it's so fast or have you gotten to a place where you don't need to lift the bottom packet much at all? Thanks!
man I didn't realize how small my hands were compared to yours until now... I guess my hands have grown at all in the past 4 years (when I started trying to do card tricks)
Jarek your sleights are so smothly , unbelievable , great for me you are the best magician in the world !! I want a signed Card from you is it possible ?? Please
It took me a couple of weeks to get the pass as good as I can get in my own mindset, but I just can't seem to get away with doing the move in front of spectators, I always panic and mess up when performing for people
whenever i do the classic pass all i take is one card of the top when i pull them off with my two middle fingers and pinky i only ever slide off one card with half a full or even a third of the deck any tips at all???
Every time I try to take the top half of the deck to the side, I only take one card , I had another deck that I used and I did it fine but now that I've got my new one, it keeps happening
+Itz Beatz Me too man :( I just posted a video of me trying to do a pass and it looks like trash :( I should just quit magic now because my pass is that bad... Don't believe me? go check for yourself on my channel D:
+seth Jim Try the reverse pass, I prefer it and easier to cover. bottom half comes to top, same method used. called the 'Herman pass'. I use this one all the time in any ABC routine.
James Gardiner I just suck at everything :( i posted a video of me trying to a dribble pass and it looks like trash... IF you wouldn't mind could you go look at the video then give me some tips on it? I'm so bad i need any help i can get!
Hi Jarek, im learning your previous pass, the bottom up is much more convenience actually but i found that using bottom up or top down classic pass, the front and my right hand side is easily expose to others, how you solve this problem during your presentation??
Rydini Westergaurd thanks Rydini, most feedback i receive is the left hand movement too obvious, although i manage to cover my card but they can predict i did something to the card...so when too much people i doing shaking up and down to distract them but i think if can pass by no extra action more interesting.
Every time I try to lift the top pack with my pinky the top right corner of the top pack blocks the bottom pack and I can't lift the bottom pack! When I oft the top pack it comes up at an angle and never straight up! My pinky always pushes the top pack to the left. Any help?
So i started practicing basic card tricks watching videos, Im just a beginner. I ordered "Contraband" deck cards from Theory11. The deck looks slick but its super slippery! I cannot hold them together at all. They just keep slipping over and over... Are they not good cards for card tricks? What should I get?
Hey jarek120 i got a question about the pass. So i did what you said to do with the two cards and i can do that fine but when i do like a quarter of the deck or a couple more cards i struggle and the cards go everywhere please could you help me out. By the way your videos are the best. Your a great magician :)
i noticed when im doing the pass (literally just started doing it now after this video) i can hold onto the cards stronger by doing sort of what Rydini Westergaurd suggests but i extend my index finger straight out like im imitating a gun, the bottom of my knuckle puts more pressure on the card without having to try and get it in a certain position .... but each to there own style, this might work for me but maybe not for you
Which cards are better to use Plastic or Paper ? i used to think plastic since i kinda felt it was easier to do double and triple lifts when doing like 3-4 card montes but then i tried doing the pass with a deck XD cards are so slippery so now im confused. I think its probably just me being not knowing how to do one properly yet.
For the past 5 weeks, everyday I would spend 2 hours practicing just two cards, then half and then the whole. Every day I never did it and the cards fall out or I would just mess up. It's hard for me and my hands are red and sore. I watched the video many times but, I don't know what I am doing wrong. The video isn't bad its me who is the problem but, I will continue to practice until I can do a trick.
I was doing and got angry cause my pinkie could not lift the pack or the card would flop out of my hand I then used the index finger on the hand that the pack was resting. It was at that moment that it became so much easier thanks bro
Can you make a tutorial on the thumb fan? You did a new one-handed fan which i can do but i wanna learn the thumb fan and your old tutorial saw no light in my eyes..
Im also gonna be doing a tutorial on this soon! This is great tho!
Nope you just put it on your website for people to buy it but I just looked it up.
You are an awesome magician and you tuber so keep up the great work love your content!

Really great video. I've been doing card magic for 25 years and I've still learned a few things from this tutorial. Thanks!

You make everything look so easy. I hope I will become at least a quarter of how good you are right now. Keep teaching people and great things will happen!
Cool trick.These magic tricks have inspired me to make my own channele about my magic tricks. Thanks for the tutorial!!!
One of the best tutorials on this I've seen

BIG question I’m pretty good with the Herman pass should I learn the classic pass
Yes
Aditya Roy thanks for letting me know 2 years later
Looks great an awesome move to learn so thank you for explaining your work on the Classic Pass

Hey jarek, this is an excellent tutorial and the step by step walk thru you give is perfect. Thanks for taking time to help us up and comers

Dude!! Thankyou so much! I've been trying this for a week and finally was able to do it after this video! Excellent explanation!
Finally,waited so long for this tutorial
6:20 that few milimeters is key to me. Really big of a deal. Thanks man
Ive seen ppl who flash less after 2 weeks doing the classic pass compared to this. I'm so entertained by youtube magic tutorials
THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN!!!! I LEARNED IT IN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES
Thx man for all off these tutorials because of u I can step out of my comfort zone and blow people's mind and again thx and keep it up man
Hey Even i'm a big fan of your work. I've been working on the pass for the past month or so and this is sure to really help out, thanks a lot man. I was also wondering if you're still living in LA. I'm in San Diego and i'm really looking for a few like minded magicians to work with and learn from. Thanks a bunch for all the help.
Really helpful literally spent about 3 weeks on tryna get this down better than the 52 cards one
Love the revival of your older tutorials. Also, I'm left handed, so it's great not to have to mirror someone for once.
This is the best explanation of the classic pass
just a few tips: when you are practising it, make sure to get the technique or the "movements" perfect before making it more difficult by using more cards.
Omg I went to about five channels to learn this and you gave a great example ty :)
Oh my gosh. Thanks very much Jarek for this tutorial this is gonna help a lot. Cheers bro keep doing what you do best and stay awesome :D sub from Singapore.
tnx for this tutorial, i just started and am using the 2 card that you teach in practicing this move till am confident enough to do it in a full deck, i also tried practicing it with doing the Angel and Charleur Cut
Im 13 and learnt it pretty easily .Thank for your great explanations ! ;)
You can also buy bridge size cards which are a little bit smaller. Bicycle has them.
I learnt it completely by the time you finished the video
Great tutorial mate. Now just gotta practice and perfect. Hoping to nail it in a week. Does that make me a genius?
i knew it before.. but no as good as i do it now! thanks jarek you're the man
i did it your way got it easy tnx very very much iv wanted to learn magic when i was little ur very awesome thank u bro much love
it works best for me when I put my index and pinkie at the break it helps me control the deck more and is much easy that way thanks for the tutorial
Nice tutorial for a difficult and important pass. Thanks
This is actually very easy. Thanks for the tutorial!
when I do the pass my pinky finger grab the card I want bring to the top so it bring the card to the bottom of the deck. Do you have a tip so it does not happen?
That happened to me but it was because I was putting too much pressure with my fingers
What I like to do sometimes is pinch the card with my pinkie so it goes to the bottom with the top half of the deck. Or slid the top card over just enough where the card becomes the second one from the top. I like doing that for one trick
Hi can you teach the invisible touch trick? the one where you touch the shoulder.
Thank you for very detailed and awesome guide! First i tought this is hard but few hours of practice and im getting pretty good at this! Thanks to your videos :)
Damn! I like this method! Takes the fear out of doing the pass!
While practicing this, I noticed that occasionally I would accidentally turn over the card under the break. I think I figured out how to not do that, but then I got interested and started figuring out how to do that on purpose, so that you end up with the chosen card upside down in the middle of the deck.

I have kept this a secret for a year. The one hand cut pushing off with the thumb then grab the pushed up packet and rotate it to the other hand quickly like a regular cut.
I learned this in a few hours, thanx man! I think the fact that I'm a guitar player helped out a lot haha
Thx for this vid so much I've impressed so many people and you have inspired me to do magic
My advice for using a full deck is to use a VERY old deck. I dug out an old deck I used for inhand riffle practice long ago, deck is quite sticky now and makes it considerably easier to handle.
This is gold. Thanks.

Hey can u make a video about double lift? I olways have problem with it.
ruclips.net/video/cormm74W3Gk/видео.html
Hey Check my channel,I have a great tutorial to learn the double lift
Hey Jarek 1:20, I just learned the classic pass and i keep running into the same problem. I run into taking only the top card of the top packet to the bottom. How do I avoid/fix this? Thanks!
True, not easy but everything takes practice and in time you can do it unnoticed. Hey! Who won the Thanksgiving giveaway?
Had a question. I am have a really hard time making the pass look natural and making it quite. Is there any more tips or tricks you could suggest?
I have practiced a lot but everytime I perform this pass, my pinky will stick to the top card of the bottom packet and automatically transfer it to the bottom of the deck, that will screw things up as I really want that card to be on the top of the deck, what should I do?

appriciate that you actually give some "training" methods to get used to it thumbs up !
I have a problem with the classic pass because when ever I go to do fast the selected goes to the bottom of the deck. Please give me advice
btw. i might put up a video on how to do the classic pass soon so you guys can see in more detail on how I do it, because i have small hands...
when you do the classic pass, you should close your fingers.
it may be hard not to lift up your pinkie. But if you practice it, it will help you do better pass
Amazing. thank you. i was able to do this move with in about 5 mins with a full deck. granted i have large hands. add a few false cuts and it makes a great trick.
Do a tutorial for 'thread' or' approach anxiety' please. Cheers
Hey Jarek120, I got a question... I can sort of do the pass but the only problem is that the bottom card always flips over in the middle of the move. Any tips on how to fix it?

Is tilting the pack down a better solution then tilting it up?
this may be an odd question on a video like this but what is that deck called it looks freaking sweet
man I didn't realize how small my hands were compared to yours until now... I guess my hands have grown at all in the past 4 years (when I started trying to do card tricks)
Jarek your sleights are so smothly , unbelievable , great for me you are the best magician in the world !! I want a signed Card from you is it possible ?? Please
If i do it to someone who is annoying and won't be distracted, how do i do it while he is looking at the cards? And how do i make it less noisy?
thanks for sharing your experience
Nice tutorial Evan!
It took me a couple of weeks to get the pass as good as I can get in my own mindset, but I just can't seem to get away with doing the move in front of spectators, I always panic and mess up when performing for people
Can i use my ring finger to lift the card? It's hard to lift it with index and pinky
whenever i do the classic pass all i take is one card of the top when i pull them off with my two middle fingers and pinky i only ever slide off one card with half a full or even a third of the deck any tips at all???
Amazing tutorial! Thank you!
Whenever I try the pass, I put my piney hold in and I try to bring to up it slips and goes straght
Every time I try to take the top half of the deck to the side, I only take one card , I had another deck that I used and I did it fine but now that I've got my new one, it keeps happening
+Itz Beatz Me too man :( I just posted a video of me trying to do a pass and it looks like trash :( I should just quit magic now because my pass is that bad... Don't believe me? go check for yourself on my channel D:

Rydini Westergaurd thanks Rydini, most feedback i receive is the left hand movement too obvious, although i manage to cover my card but they can predict i did something to the card...so when too much people i doing shaking up and down to distract them but i think if can pass by no extra action more interesting.
I thought I messed up but I made it look like I switched the top and chosen card switch places.
Every time I try to lift the top pack with my pinky the top right corner of the top pack blocks the bottom pack and I can't lift the bottom pack! When I oft the top pack it comes up at an angle and never straight up! My pinky always pushes the top pack to the left. Any help?
Use your index finger and pinky both and as u go on try doing it ur pinky only :)
When I do it the cards slide too much against the other pack so the spectator hears too much noise.. How can I make it more silent
So i started practicing basic card tricks watching videos, Im just a beginner. I ordered "Contraband" deck cards from Theory11. The deck looks slick but its super slippery! I cannot hold them together at all. They just keep slipping over and over... Are they not good cards for card tricks? What should I get?
the cards just need broke in .. and few shuffles and cuts and riffle shuffles will get them working for you ..
awesomely explained. thanks
Hey jarek120 i got a question about the pass. So i did what you said to do with the two cards and i can do that fine but when i do like a quarter of the deck or a couple more cards i struggle and the cards go everywhere please could you help me out.
By the way your videos are the best. Your a great magician :)
Rydini Westergaurd GREAT TIP, I knew of this but it slipped my mind. That IS DEFINITELY a way a lot of people teach beginners.
Keep practicing.
i noticed when im doing the pass (literally just started doing it now after this video) i can hold onto the cards stronger by doing sort of what Rydini Westergaurd suggests but i extend my index finger straight out like im imitating a gun, the bottom of my knuckle puts more pressure on the card without having to try and get it in a certain position .... but each to there own style, this might work for me but maybe not for you
oh i get what you mean now ..... that isnt discrete from the front but it helps learn the pass, my way is a bit in the middle of them lol
This is a awesome video. This is hard, but would be very helpful.
Which cards are better to use Plastic or Paper ? i used to think plastic since i kinda felt it was easier to do double and triple lifts when doing like 3-4 card montes but then i tried doing the pass with a deck XD cards are so slippery so now im confused. I think its probably just me being not knowing how to do one properly yet.
Paper. Looks more professional.
Paper. They're less slippery than plastic cards since it can wear out, unlike plastic.
brilliant work, mate!🇳🇿⚽
I wanna see it from
a worms eye view
oooooooooo man you are the best you inspire me more than criss to keep practise !!!!
Thank you for the tutorial , it really helps, thanks 🙏
For the past 5 weeks, everyday I would spend 2 hours practicing just two cards, then half and then the whole. Every day I never did it and the cards fall out or I would just mess up. It's hard for me and my hands are red and sore. I watched the video many times but, I don't know what I am doing wrong. The video isn't bad its me who is the problem but, I will continue to practice until I can do a trick.
And how r u doin today? Mastered the classic pass? ^^
I was doing and got angry cause my pinkie could not lift the pack or the card would flop out of my hand I then used the index finger on the hand that the pack was resting. It was at that moment that it became so much easier thanks bro
Great tutorial Jarek! You inspired me to make my youtube channel
Can you make a tutorial on the thumb fan? You did a new one-handed fan which i can do but i wanna learn the thumb fan and your old tutorial saw no light in my eyes..
