Herrmann Shift/Turnover Pass

[s13zeTheDay]

I'm just saying that a lot of magicians I see either just use squaring the deck or something like showing that the bottom isn't their card ass an excuse. You just pushed it fairly into the middle, why are you showing the bottom? While I was just using the pass as an example (which, btw, if you are flashing you just need to practice, b/c done well theres a near 0 chance of flashing, even with people burning your hands), my main point was that there are much more useful sleights and controls that can accomplish similar or the same things. You should always put the justification of the sleight BEFORE how proficient you are at it. Also though I don't dislike either move, and use the turnover pass in one of my favorite routines, these two involve obvious movements of the deck which need to be justified. Again, not trying to detract from the performance, which was very good, just stating my opinions.
