Welcome to this card-magic video tutorial on the invisible pass! This is without a doubt a beautiful and elegant sleight of hand and only requires a bit of dexterity.

What is great about this classic pass variation is that you can perform it while your spectators keep looking at the top of the deck… or so it seems!

You can always consult the entire list of all card-magic tricks here. The list includes other variations of the invisible pass.

Update in our card magic section; if you’re new to card magic, the following video will teach you how to learn magic trick that is also in the ambitious card routine. The double lift is the most basic sleight of hand anyone wanting to perform basic card magic will need to learn. Here goes:

You might also be interested to learn a more advanced sleight of hand if you want to combine the double lift with another sleight of hand in the same performance to get a good reaction from your audience by closing with a kick ass magic trick, that could be the pass. The pass has a few variations, notably the turn-over pass, the riffle pass, and the dribble pass.

The double lift is great in card magic tricks and is used in many card tricks. You can invent different performances using the double lift alone. I hope you will take the patience to learn the double lift, it will be a great friend in card magic.

Have fun!

This is a good color change you can use to reveal a selected card from a double lift it is clean but requires practice. However it’s a great effect when added to easy card tricks.

*snap*!

To avoid confusion; this is not backhand palming. I do not know the name of this sleight of hand (do you?). The performer in the video is not fluid enough to say he’s mastering this sleight but it gives you a good idea and a chance to practice the move on your own.

This is great when combined with other vanish effects and productions (I’m a big fan), pretending to perform only of an easy card trick and adding these effects obtains good reactions due to surprise.

Good luck!

This is a strong card trick, for your convenience and fidelity, made available for you through OpenMagic’s free magic trick directory:

It uses the ascanio spread sleight of hand created by Arturo de Ascanio himself.

This is a must for all magicians who do card magic and most (if not all!) do. It requires practice and can be replaced by other techniques which are simpler, but it will really add to a performance as it will seem to be unique to you since people do not often see that in their daily lives.

Learn, Practice and Perform.

I hope you enjoyed it and keep up the good work!

This is quite simple, most of you probably already known how to do this but I will be using this tutorial as a part of a bigger one.

Stay tuned

This is also known as “The Fastest Card Trick In The World” due to the speed at which you create the illusion of flipping a card upside down inside the pack of cards without opening it at all.

All that to say; It’s a great secret to be revealed on a Monday morning there is a small sleight of hand needed in its performance… Have a look:

As you saw, it is an easy magic trick to perform once you become fluid at reversing the entire deck without anyone noticing!

This is a beauty used to bring a card back to the top of the deck in one of the most convincing way; watch it in the next video (at 00:34):

Still wondering how it is done?

1. The magician is holding a break at the very last card of the pack of cards from which the selected card is taken from its top and then placed on top of the other packet (at 00:30).
2. While pushing the selected card to let it stick out of the deck (00:36 to 00:38) the bottom card held by the magician’s break is dropped on top of the selected card.
3. The magician then shows the card that is sticking out of the deck (Ace of spades) while hidding the card that was dropped on top of it. (00:39 to 00:41)
4. The top card, that appears to be the card just shown is then inserted in the middle of the other pack of cards, this pack of card is then inserted in the middle of the other pack of card (with the ace of spaces on top).

The selected card was put back on top of the deck in front of everyone without a single fancy, suspicious move. Simply efficient!

Did you find the instructions clear enough? Let us KNOW!
