Placement Pass.

[reidk01]

Hi All,

Long time lurker first time poster. I have been working on this control independently for some time now and I am now really keen to get some feedback as it is beginning to get a lot more refined. Please check the video below and let me know what you think!

Please note that this control can be used to bring the card to the top or the bottom of the deck and the spectator can place the card into the deck

Cheers
Keith

Wow, that actually looks really good, would like to see the top control and different angles though.

Thanks Wyatt. Top control appears almost identical but has a very minor change in handling and I dont want to post until it is a little more refined. You have about a 90-100 degree leeway with angles as long as the handling is done properly and timing is EVERYTHING. I will also add that you do not need to do this in one movement as in the video that i posted. you can place the card into the deck, leave it sticking out and then very slowly push it in or even push it in bit by bit. That being said, I have found that the most natural look is what I have posted in the video.

Again thanks for the kind words.

To be honest I can't fathom how it works, is it just named after a pass, because it appears much like one, for example the bluff pass, or is it an actual exchange of two packets?
Also, is it workable? Have you used it in performance?

This is the only control to the bottom of the deck that i use now. Very workable. The top control is a little less refined as yet but it is getting there. As for the question regarding 2 packets it is definitely an exchange.

Looks great but yeah, weird passes can generally look great from one angle. Make a more varied video of it's applications/different angles etc!

I would like to suggest that ALL passes not just "weird ones" can be quite angly. The ones that are less angly tend to lose some fairness by either the manner in which the card is inserted or the unnatural way in which both hands holding onto the deck. More videos will come soon from some different angles ie spectator directly in front. The handling does vary slightly depending on where the spectators are but it is so small an adjustment that I would not really define them as a different control all together. Thanks for the feedback guys I really appreciate the prompt responses I am getting!

PS this is a concept that I am developing at the moment and I will be producing a series of these placement passes. The name means that the pass is performed as or before the card is put into the deck. There is a hint
