The Bluff Pass

Allan's tutorial on the Bluff Pass reveals how to control a spectator's card to the top of the deck with ease. He starts by explaining the pinky break, a subtle move that lifts a single card, and shows how to fake cutting the deck to sell the trick. Allan highlights the importance of angle management to keep the secret safe, recommending practice in front of a mirror or with a camera. The video includes a live demo of the Bluff Pass, illustrating how to bury a card and then reveal it on top.
