   **CHAPTER EIGHTEEN**
  
   **ON THE PASS**
  
  Perhaps more has been written on the standard Pass than any other sleight in
  card
  
  yet very few magicians can perform it without telegraphing that something is
  happening. Some performers seem oblivious that a telltale movement as the
  packets transpose will make it obvious that some form of trickery is being
  executed, whilst others avoid the Pass entirely and employ a substitute
  manoeuvre to bring about the desired result. Nevertheless the Pass
  
  be one of the most
  
  of all methods of controlling a card or and the following observations by Dai
  Vernon will help the reader to master the handling and avoid the pitfalls
  which deter so many.
