Card Tricks: The Hermann Pass Tutorial

[@joeosborn912]

10 years later and you're still creating content. Awesome man.

[@52kards]

@Exscaly The back of your right hand should be facing them. In the video i showed that part as if the camera lens was the spectators eyes. Hope that clears things up!

[@neochase1]

I bought a video for thirty bucks explaining the pass and the herman pass and I got more detailed instruction in your video than I did from the video. Good job man and thanks for answering my questions.

[@Leviticus360540]

Thanks I enjoyed how you explained the herman pass and added all the variations. You have a knack for teaching. I have a request, on your Hindu shuffle series. First off i learned alot on your series so far, but i didn't see one application yet, which is what i first used the hundu technique for and that was the use of the move to control the bottom card. Maybe you can do another one in your series. Take care.

[@TheFallOfMagic]

wow been trying to learn this off other videos for months and could never do it clean, watched this and its made it so much easier! thanks

[@52kards]

@cbdrummer19 Unfortunately there is no such thing as an easy pass :( The Herman pass is probably the easiest. Practice it for a few minutes a day, and pretty soon you will be good at it! Good luck!

[@Rotti17]

The straddle pass I think is the easiest, however it is not a cut of the deck.

[@52kards]

@cbdrummer19 Unfortunately there is no such thing as an easy pass. The Herman pass is probably the easiest pass there is. Practice for a few minutes a day, and before you know it you will be good at it :) Good luck!

[@Zhisaoka]

Thanks, now I don’t need to waste the rest of my blood, sweat, and tears doing the classic pass!

[@donaldwarren8676]

Covered all the variances well Good Tutorial. The Card Trick Teacher recommended you and he was spot on !

[@52kards]

@Moizjehangir Yeah, I like JohnomenalMagician's suggestion. Just say something like " So your card is some where in the middle..." as you turn the deck face up and spread some cards. Then you can just flip it back face down and continue

[@jettcroz]

Hey Asad. Could you do a video suggesting how to create a diversion when doing these passes it would be much appreciated, since im not very quick at doing them and need a bit more time to pull it off. Great vids, your a great teacher

[@doodahman2995]

Much better than The Russian Genius. Great tutorial.

[@marcusberdecia224]

Well the Russian genius he does it well but he just can explain it well at all

[@Ghost-yu1xl]

Russian genius is dumb

[@itzthelight]

Russian genius sucks balls

[@GarrodMagic123]

I found that i naturally turn the deck over in my hands just when not doing any tricks or moves or just chilling with the pack. If you do that also you can do the move just before you put it the bottom half on top and turn the top half into the pack and turn the whole pack over, and the move is done. Looks good if you cut a card face up into the pack, turn over the pack and BOOM it's ontop

[@connercrenshaw8323]

Ive been practicing this move for about a year now and one way i found to be helpful is to curl your index finger under the bottom packet. When you extend it, not only does it make it faster but you can also make it easier for the cards to clear each other. This lets you relieve some of the distance you have to pick up the top packet as well.

[@gunperry]

@DecksAndContests thanks with your tutorial i can do this pass almost perfectly. Now i'm practicing the classic pass

[@JohnKurlak]

You should extend your right hand's index finger and leave it at the far end of the deck at all times. It will eliminate a lot of your hand movement and make the pass a lot less detectable.

[@InvalidMiner]

keep practising! however, i learnt it a different way, where i curl my index finger under the cards and push it up that way. Good luck!

[@Sam_KC_BMX]

Hey Asad, I'm not sure whether you actually use the Spread Pass, but if so could you please make a tutorial on your preferred handling? Thanks!

[@InfraROTH]

Amazing.... such a good move. Even tho i not able to perform a trick which could use this one I still gonna train it!!!

[@emadebrahimiii]

Im pretty new in learning magic. You are a great teacher man, tnx

[@MagicVycka]

Another awesome tutorial, i love all your tutorials! :)

[@Exscaly]

Brilliant Video! Question - when performed to a deck level audience, is your right hand towards or away from them? Thanks!

[@magic901]

Thanks for the tips! Excellent tutorial.

[@wisemanius]

u were right your favorite addition is helping alot coz u dont put the top card on the deck, the deck is spining into the card! awesome

[@fullofbullets58]

Learning these passes is probably the most frustrating thing ever right now

[@Omatollis]

Is this the pass that is used in the "trailer" for Quantum Mechanics by Irving Quant?

[@MuseFanNacho]

For those of you who want a trick show the top card of the deck, reach in and perform the Herman pass, then grab pack square it up and do a dribble then show that the top card has changed. It's simple and easy and people are usually amazed

[@Shoaib1231230]

thanks man that relly helped and now i use the herman and the classic pass perfectly!!!! Yeaaaahhh

[@evilseed880]

Great tutorial. Could you possibly show the angles from the spectators point of view?

[@Drow377]

Just do it in front of the mirror

[@danielwilde1]

any advice on how to stop the cards splaying out.... when i do the lift the cards fan out, is it because my pinky is not strong enough yet?

[@TheNoob166]

very nice tutorial,asad! :) btw could you do a detailed tutorial on the spread pass ??:D

[@JoeysPK]

THANKYOUSOMUCH! A great pass that can be preformed easily even if you have small hands like mine :)

[@Grant-H2O]

unless you have smaller hands than Joe Diamond your hands are average lol jk mine are kinda small too. 3 cheers for girly hands!

[@justinbower5839]

If you are using this move to control a card how do you do it so that the control is tabled? Please make a tutorial on it!

[@jaymonji]

Could you do a more in depth video of the colour change pass at the end? I can't get it right.. :/

[@letmefly9020]

I have small hands, what do you prefer me between classic pass and herman pass? thanks

[@LearnCardTricksNow]

Thanks so much for a great tutorial i mastered it after a couple days practice! :)

[@nktrixr728]

It really helped me. Thank you!

[@rottenkiwi8267]

Thanks finally learned it only tricky thing is to cover the whole thing

[@Mightymagicchicken]

nice ringtone! and great tutorial!

[@gillswithskills]

im only just starting to send my vids to youtube and recon im pretty good. thanks for teaching me this pass i fooled everybody.

[@52kards]

@Moizjehangir Np man :)

[@coolmagictricks3050]

A great place to use the turnover pass is in a sandwich routine. Instead of starting with the two black aces, you canfind them after you have done the turnover pass.

[@samdoyle3945]

Wow thanks

[@evesj09]

you can use middle fingers on top and pinky and pointer under the packet check out riffle pass hope i helped

[@tomlane6590]

you could get someone to pick a card and then do a fan while they put the card back in again. Gather up the fan while maintaining a pinky break over there selected card, herman/classic pass it to the top, simple!

[@takkat11]

Hey :) first of all i really love your tutorials :) Bu could you make some card twirl? Like the Andrei jikh bullet or flicker and flac :)

[@melkizta13]

good quality video, what camera are using?

[@MagiciansOMSH]

I usually do it on the off beat! When I m talking or something like that :D And the way I do it is, I take my hand (the one that covers the tilted packet) and move it over the deck, all the way to the other hand and scratch my self :D It looks so natural that no one notice anything! :D

[@lordxamaximiliaan662]

make a quick video on it!

[@stefansquared]

Can you do the tutorial on color change that uses similar move like in this video? It's something like a reversed cardini change.. :D

[@TheChiapetx]

how can i incorporate this pass into a trick? like their card was on top and using the herman pass i mixed it up in the deck/?

[@MattBean7592]

Is there any reason to use the Herman if your good at the classic pass?

[@52kards]

Yeah, I'm a righty

[@alllove3717]

When you are explaining the pivoting process with the pinky, I think you forgot to teach the audience to use the index finger as well to help gain that 90 degree angle the horizontal.

[@TheKill3rCam]

Agent Carter using your index finger isn't necessary, and takes away a surprising amount of cover.

[@scottmatthews4637]

What deck is this?!?! I love it

[@hasansharif9726]

I tried it a lot of times in front of a mirror but still can see the pass underneath

[@valmarsiglia]

Hey, the ringtone made for some good background music!

[@MrJeremiah209]

i am struggling with the pinky thing any tips?

[@jettcroz]

What angle would you use when doing this

[@mrlaser9027]

wait i get this but wat trick would u use this for ? plz respond

[@deadraslayeeer]

Thank you so much man really helped, subscribed

[@Ramon7825]

@stabberdagger Use your index finger to help push the pack. hope that helps.

[@hytuiop]

Check out the vintage 1800s deck

[@vidmaster7]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

[@sanflourish1013]

where do you get playing cards in nepal

[@iraklikorkia]

Damn :D your voice :D i can't say which is better, voice or your tricks ;D

[@mariloutoroy9149]

I need a help with the cards at the bottom, when I do the pass they could see that I transferred cards from the bottom to the top,plss hepp thanks

[@mariloutoroy9149]

Help I mean

[@clurkroberts2650]

You need to do a spectator point of view for demonstration. Nice instruction, and tips but please addd the spectator pov

[@cbdrummer19]

can u work on some easier passes for people less advanced?

[@Leviticus360540]

I could try to do a video response if you are wondering what I mean?

[@Exscaly]

@DecksAndContests Thankyou so much! Very helpful!

[@tiagoraposo8408]

its the bicycle centurions i have 1 it feels amazing better than the standard bicycle

[@52kards]

@Chubbykinzz True Story :)

[@darrenhadden1037]

Great stuff!

[@IamDumptruck]

whenver I am transferring the bottom packet to the top, everybody always sees it even with my hand there, what do I do?

[@dustingrimmmagic1067]

Practise in Front of a mirror, try to tilt your body or change your finger Positions until it works. It will Take some time, but it is worth it :)

[@vbeis0]

Yeah! The pull back pass is pro :)

[@nomercyisme2124]

Just use classic pass . Herman pass is shit tbh .. I saw alot of magicians like david blaine and chris angel doing the classic pass . Never saw anyone doing the herman pass

[@TheDarknightRemix]

Then watch Michael Vincent on Penn and Teller fool us. It's almost completely done with the Hermann pass.

[@MrWheelchairman]

@Moizjehangir i use to show and say that i dont have any breaks and your card really are lost in the deck

[@NevadaJohnny1]

You're doing a great job. Thx

[@stabberdagger]

when i press down with my pinky the cards dont move

[@adrianholmes2331]

what is those cards called

[@gamerloco33]

I'm wondering, about how long did it take you to get a great hermann pass?

[@Grant-H2O]

2 minutes if youve got a full understanding of the angles and handling.

[@54KardTricks]

What if they are sitting down and you are standing up? PLZ RESPOND

[@9citycmte]

when i use this for color change i wave my fand over the deck and drop the pack its cool

[@hasansharif9726]

I can not do it by a side angel can u teach it to me?

[@KingSharoz786]

Need more tricks!!!

[@Provoz88]

Thank you man, you are great!!!

[@hasansharif9726]

u told how to do it with a side angel but still i do not know how to do it

[@bbaddawgg]

great tutorial

[@MsMagictricks123]

the colour change is great

[@oranjjjggg]

this dude is popular, i've heard phone calls/texts in probalby half the videos he's done lol. I dont mind at all, just funny

[@ivryshlomi]

very good explanation thank you

[@damianlim4432]

my first ever pass!!!!!!

[@fullofbullets58]

I really dont know why every tutorial says how easy it is to pull the cards up with the pinky when I've been practicing this pass for months and STILL cant do it right.. I have to turn my entire hand as well as support the packet with my index finger to do it.

[@MrAwesomeINDUSTRIES]

centurions deck and he always has the name of the deck hes using in the description

[@TheRaven200599]

What is the use of this?

[@timswarts2615]

uhmm... when I push my pink down, the cards don't go up that far, I only get them to go about half a centimeter. Please help.

[@fritsidyilustre4894]

Tim swarts just take your first finger to longed of the dec and simple open you r first finger and there yoy go

[@fritsidyilustre4894]

+fritsidy ilustre sorry for the wrong type

[@timswarts2615]

fritsidy ilustre thank you!

[@assassinsopsgaming1188]

use your pointer finger

[@DomGrady97]

It's crazy cause it's probably the easiest pass however if you can get it down quick and clean enough, it looks almost invisible. If you don't know what to look for you're going to miss it 9/10 times.

[@magicandcardistry1]

Hello im just starting youtube channel with flourishes and magic. Ive got my first video which is herman pass performance. Its very very smooth and hope you enjoy it.

[@simonbaker4]

Excellent, thanks!

[@KonstantinRudoy]

So, which is better - Hermann or Classic pass?

[@jordamndough9017]

i personal like the classic pass more because it is more quick

[@taylorhaws6402]

they are different moves that have different applications. the applications can overlap, but asking which is better is like asking if a spoon or a fork is better.

[@rubbskater2]

Why do all Magicians hold there deck in the left arm i hold it in the right

[@texasboy1457]

Because you're left handed

[@destroyerjosh1]

Wow this is awesome thanks

[@stormguyycanality8850]

i can't understand how dubstrib reality got more subscribes becuse you are awesome

[@jasonduhamel7813]

Disturb Reality has no personality when he performs. No smile, no jokes. He comes off as Criss Angel wannabe. That's what ruins it for me

[@ReiOgami]

Jason Duhamel I quite like his videos. His to-the-point attitude is the selling factor, for some. I guess it really depends on your taste.
