He does that very well! Always loved the way he did the pass!
The pass was amazing along with the d'amico double!
Just perfect. I've worked on this since 10 years... One of my master !
That double lift at 0:39 was amazing. I’ve only ever read about it (In Buckley’s Card Control) but never have I seen it done.
He has the most convincing triple lift I have ever seen in my life.
The pass was the closest thing i have seen to invisible :) The camera is on him and we are watching from youtube up close on a perhaps full screen and u still can't really see it.
Freaking great classic pass
This guy is amazing. I dunno what a pass is, but whatever it is he obviously does it really well. Wish the vid quality was better.
great pass
slick...slick...slick!!!!!
I realize you're a very talented young magician, and all.
But, this guy is a legend you know.
I believe these are only excerpts, from the description so the performance may seem rushed in that way.
sweet.
his pass is fuckin good
may i also point out another points ... not that i m contesting your opinion but anyways....
the pace is also determined by the performer's own personality and body language
the pace is also set by what kind of impact you want to have on your audience. u want it to be a hard hitting bang bang bang type of effect or a nice relaxed symphony.
there can NEVER be only ONE CORRECT interpretation of art.
this was not a performance of an effect/routine but mere edited clips.
I suppose I can't argue with that :P
I do agree with stacky though, this was done for TV so they would have had to speed and cut things out for the time slot. Since Jamy placed this here himself he may have also edited it a bit as well.
smooth.
any sources for the DL anyone?
THAT. PASS.
Good points, but the performance would be different in real life--the spectators aren't a camera, unblinkingly staring at his hands. Swiss is a good enough performer to engage his audience, which would be a good time to do the pass. He does go much too fast here, though.
Yes he needs to slow down. This effect should be done slowly and with no show of moves or show of skill. In addition his "pass" was highly visible, and he used the pass a number of times and every time you see a flick. It is possible that a layman can overlook it once but not multiple times, they aren't stupid. In short, if you can't do an invisible pass then don't use it.
The audience aren't supposed to see sleight of hand. Every move here is clearly visible. It's like you are showboating your technique at the expense of any magical effect. I really don't like this.
