The Expert at the Classic Pass by Akira Fujii - DVD

"For twenty years, Akira has studied the classic pass. The results of his investigations are available on the new DVD, The Expert at the Classic Pass. As the title suggests, Akira is, indeed, an expert at this move. The good news for purchasers is that he clearly and concisely covers all the details that go into a deceptive pass. He also explains the evolution of his handling of the pass, including an excellent method for the cover pass (this by itself would be worth the price of the DVD). His final method for the classic pass is a thing of beauty; it is a sleight that can be performed at a natural, unhurried pace, and which merely appears to be a squaring up of the deck."
- Michael Close

Akira's Classic Pass was created not by adding extra movement s to hide unnatural movements, but by stripping away the movements that seemed unnatural to the extreme.

And that feature is evident in the new method , which has been created by 20 years of study.

It doesn't even have the motion of sticking the pinky finger in to clip the packet that is unique to the Classic Pass

Usually, the deck is aligned before doing the Pass

However, it requires many actions such as "aligning the deck","preparing for the Pass", "do the Pass with an aligned deck", and "aligning the deck again"

Akira's new method, which eliminates extra movements from that, simply completes the necessary work by the movement of "passing while aligning the decks".

This DVD is dubbed in English, but some may worry that this will prevent them from learning about the noise of the Pass properly.

Don't worry. If you follow the described method correctly, there will be no noise.

The footage on this DVD is from 2016.

It had been filmed several times before then, and each time Akira came up with a new approach and updated the methodology.

So we needed a period of time after the completion of the shoot to confirm that there was no discrepancy between the commentary and his pass methodology at the time of release.

So while his passes you see on social media and YouTube today may feel smoother than the commentary footage, that's because we've been working with the methodology on this DVD for years and have been able to achieve the necessary motion with minimal stress.

This DVD is just a guidepost to show you the shortest way to get closer to Akira's Classic Pass.

Master them by doing them the right way over and over again.

And, this DVD is dubbed in English.

Akira: Okay.
Alfonso: I'm ready.
Akira: Done.
Simply beautiful!"
