The Pass is an example of sleight of hand, and is employed by a magician to gain control of a card which has been chosen by a spectator and, seemingly, placed randomly in the deck. The pass is an example of card control. Despite the seemingly fair conditions, the performer is able to control the card position for subsequent use in any number of effects: this move forms the basis of many "take a card" tricks.
