REVIEW

If you want to learn the Classic Pass then this is the book to get. It contains two treaties put together by Dai Vernon himself, "Vernon on the Pass," and "Vernon on Table Passes." The object of the Pass is to do it without any telltale signs that are viewable by the spectator. It should be invisible from the left, front, and right side of the deck. However, most magicians do not use the Pass because few can do it without telegraphing the move from one of these angles. This book will teach you the correct way to do the Classic Pass. It also explains how to do Slow Motion Card Vanish, Running the Scale, Small Packet Glide, Cold Deck Cut, and The Bottom Deal. It also includes effects chosen by Dai Vernon's friends, like Bruce Cervon, Charlie Miller, or Larry Jennings.
