Click Pass: The Sound Pass

Convincing with what is heard as well

The Click Pass, presented here as the sound pass, adds auditory confirmation to a coin sleight. The impression is that two coins have dropped into the same hand; the sound reinforces that reading of the move. José Arcario demonstrates the pass and then breaks it down to study the coordination that makes it possible.

What the explanation includes

You will work on the relationship between the classic palm and the finger palm, the drop of a coin, and the contact that produces the sound. The instructor shows the sequence in a close-up shot and returns to the wide shot to repeat it within a complete gesture.

The focus is on synchronizing the visible with the audible. The lesson allows you to study when the strike should occur and how to maintain the continuity of the pretended transfer, so that the sound becomes part of the action the audience believes they are seeing.

Materials and prior knowledge

You will need two coins with which you can comfortably perform both palms and produce an audible contact. It is helpful to know the classic palm and finger palm before tackling the coordination of the pass. It is a technical tool to incorporate into routines with multiple coins: the video focuses on its execution and the reinforcement provided by the sound.
