Pass work by Gary Au

Good friend of mine, Gary “Auuuu sexy” Au doing some quick passes for the blog.  Nothing major, caught him off guard doing some passes.  He has some great hands and a major move monkey when it comes to magic.

The password for the video is the answer to this.  “What was the Elmsley Count first called?”  the _____ Count.

God, who is this asshole? Is he on speed or something? He sorta looks like a pedophile too with them crazy eyes.

Oh, right.

For the love of god, reshoot this. I can do it slower and not as shitty haha.

Comment from Awhan - November 12, 2008

That is a really fast pass and he does it so smooth. Really inspiring. The cover for the pass where the (new) top card is drawn back with right fingers; is that a standard move ? Who is it credited to ?

Oh man, I have fans. People, this ain’t even me doing it well! Ahh!

@Awhan – It’s the Malone Shift except done face up and smoother, in my opinion. I can say that without getting a big head cause I worked really hard on the smoothness :P .

Comment from Awhan - November 12, 2008

Yes Gary the smoothness shows as well as the absence of any tension. You say that you were not doing it “well” that time. I can only imagine how it would look when you are satisfied with the execution. Well I don’t want to leave it to my imagination so, please please please give us a demo of your best.

Thanks for the info on Malone Shift, I will have to check that out. Thanks again !

Comment from Gary Au - November 14, 2008

Make me do it? Heh heh. I’ll think about a tutorial or whatever. I’m still too much of a wuss to say it’s great or new or anything, which you know it isn’t. At the very least, I’ll call it a forever work in progress ;) .

@Awhan – If you thought that video had absence of tension, you haven’t seen anything. The reason why I don’t think I was doing it well was I felt it flashed more than a few times, plus I’m moving a mile a minute (something I’ve noticed a lot of people do that I bitch at… but it’s hard to tell you’re going that fast when you’re the one doing it… as you can tell). The Malone Shift is in Steve Draun’s Underground book as well as Gary Ouelett’s book on The Pass. Both are pretty ancient though now, and both do it face down. Though Draun has been doing it face up as well. If you do a Hermann, you already know it.
