The Spread Pass — Slow and Steady

In this tutorial, the creator teaches the Spread Pass, a clever card control method that moves a card to the bottom of the deck without drawing attention. They share their personal approach, focusing on natural movements and using the deck's edge for concealment. The pass is demonstrated in slow motion to reveal key mechanics like squeezing the top half of the deck to free up fingers for the move. While the creator admits they don't use it often, they appreciate having it as a reliable option. The technique is praised for being angle-proof and not relying on speed, making it great for performers who prefer subtlety. However, it requires practice to master and may not fit every routine.
