I have purchased several Pass DVD's. A recent purchase was almost twice the price (.00), and I got to watch a guy, basically on vacation, "teach" the riffle pass. Not good, not worth the money.
Alex Pandrea demonstrates and teaches this with all the detail and patience you would use to teach a friend how to do this pass perfectly. And there are two excellent passes on this DVD.
I have a download of Alex doing the "Monet" paintbrush change. I wish he had made a DVD like this instead. It's the details and time he spends going into the real details of the Pass on the DVD that made the difference.
I wish Alex and some of the other top Sleight guys would do a card sleight seminar in Vegas or NYC, like they do with Hypnosis, so we could attend, learn and get some hands on lessons from the masters. I know I would attent.
Buy this DVD if you want really learn the pass.

I'm tempted to give this DVD a higher rating based simply on Alex's skill at performing the pass. He's absolutely amazing at this sleight, probably the only person I've ever seen do it better than Jason England. Watching him perform the pass is nothing short of astounding. However, I have to be honest, it's not exactly anything terribly special as far as the actual information goes.

Don't get me wrong, Alex does an excellent job, and if you don't already own two or three other videos outlining the pass, I would highly recommend this one. However, if you already have Jason England's pass instruction video, or any of the other highly touted videos, there's no real reason to spend more money on this one. You'd be better off just redoubling your efforts and practicing harder with the information you already have on the subject.

I will say that if isn't overly significant to you, and your pass isn't where you'd like it to be, you can't have too much information on such an integral sleight, so buy all means, get this DVD. It's got some great information in it ... it just doesn't really break a lot of new ground for more experienced pass mechanics.

Thank you for your take Alex, and overall I'm happy I bought this. I feel as though I spent to save myself a month or two of practice in perfecting the pass, which I consider to be a good investment.

This is a great move and when u see Alex doing it,it blows your mind. But I'm not going to lie,if your new to card magic then it is a hard move to learn but even Alex says on the DVD that it took 6months to a year to learn so stick with cos its worth it.

This DVD does exactly what it says it will do. It gives you great instruction on 2 clasic passes. But,there are no real tricks presented for their use.
I haven't worked on the brick yet, but, the turnover pass(which I had given up as impractical)gave me another way of looking at card selection.
Try this card in your pocket. It looks like you never did anything, because you only flip the deck when you should.
Flip deck to show cards face up -"NAME a card in middle." Flip again using turnover pass to bring the card to top. Double lift for a second card, and put (1st card)in your
pocket. Use turnover pass to put 2nd card into middle of deck.
Then it's presentation. I can't find 1st card, but I find 2nd card. Then,show 1st card in pocket.
Try it. It looks like you did nothing - which is my presentation goal.

I really liked this Dvd not because it's well explained (which is) but because Alex pandrea saw the difficulties we generally have after learning the pass in a book. I already knew the two passes but couldn't perform it in front of someone, now I can.

This DVD is excellent in teaching the moves step by step. When I first received this and understood the moves, I had my wife warch me so later she could judge any improvment. She went from "impossible to do that without being seen" to now, "Did you do it? I only saw a slight movement" And this is with her burning my hands. God I love it, I can really do it. I've only had this for about 2 weeks, so you can do it too! Buy.

I have purchased several DVD's that deal with the pass. I would consider myself a novice magician with a desire to perfect several card moves obviously the pass is a must have. Alex does an excellent job explaining the pass and teaching it to a novice like me. His skill level is nothing short of astonishing and a goal i will strive for. If i could only keep one DVD of the several i own this would be the one. So if you are deciding on a few my recommendation is to start here with The Brick Pass by Alex Pandrea.

These are just classic passes....He teaches them well and adds his own touches. He is REALLY good at it, which would take A LOT of practice. I'm just not a patient guy :)

Again, 3 maybe 4 stars because there is nothing new for the most part.

This is a great DVD. I have been working on the pass for about half a year. When i got this Dvd I was blown away, I found hidden gems, its the tips that count in this Dvd. I have practicing for about a month and it has improved so much. The turnover pass was great to. If you want to enhance your card magic, Get this, 10/10 Great pass dvd

This was an awesome choice. Alex Pandrea handles the cards extremely well and explains his handlings of this pass in great detail. At first the particular handling is odd and difficult, but like anything new it just takes practice. Highly recomended.
