You can learn the pass and alot more sleights with Card College. Personally I tend to value the knowledge I've learned through books a little higher than through videos.

First thing you need to ask yourself is, "Are you really going to use it?" No doubt the pass is a useful technique for many magicians but many others use the pass for applications that can be achieved more efficiently with other techniques. I have very little use for a pass for walk-around magic. Where the pass comes in useful for me is in my gambling demos and in those applications drop shifts and table hops are more appropriate techniques.

The Pass is a great utility item to know and have control over. Not everyone will need it though. If you're getting seriously into card technique then this is a no brainer, otherwise the pass isn't ALWAYS going to help you.

Card College and Expert at the Card Table have always been valued resources for learning the sleight, but the Brick Pass DVD is great for refining your sleight. Of course with knowledge of how the move works you'll be able to learn easier from the DVD. The move is by no means an easy one to master though.

Brick pass is a good DVD, but if you really wanted full on learning experience, Kaufman's On the Pass is hard to beat.

my idea (not a specialist with the pass yet),

Find a video on youtube that explains it... and then practise..... for the next few months... yes, it won't be great at all and it's going to take a lot of time... but your fingers have to get used to the move, speed, postures of it... of all the sleight i know, the pass needs the most practise....

so practise, practise, practise.....

Of all the sleights I know, the Pass is not the hardest.

And youtube won't really help you at all. You need to get a DVD. I suggest Jay Sankey's 'Extremely Ambitious' DVD or Pass With Care by Peter Cassford.

I learned it from Born to Perform Card Magic even though it was only briefly explained. I just worked on it for a few months and I like where it's at now.

Fixed.

If this was a facebook post i would "like" it.

PLEASE just buy 'On the Pass'.

I spent a bunch of time trying to learn the pass but eventually abandoned it. I admire those that can do it well but there are much easier alternatives. I spent time trying many of them and then selecting the alternative I liked and haven't looked back.

if your just wont to control a card to the top bottom etc... just learn a good shift

If you're an "ala carte" buyer and want just a single move, try this:

I like this because it's motivated by the turning over of the deck from face up to face down, which to me seems a perfectly natural thing to do.
