Herrmann pass

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Herrmann pass (also Herrmann shift) is a sleight of hand move used to control cards. There are many types of passes. This style of the move is different from the classic version.

It was originally developed by Alexander Herrmann and one of the earliest publications of the move was in Stanyon’s Serial Lessons in Conjuring. This is supposed to be Herrmann’s actual handling of the move.

In 1897, a version was published as a turnover pass for the first time, by Roterberg.
