Esta publicación no aboga ni se opone a aprender a realizar un pase clásico, un pase de rotación ni ningún otro tipo de pase. Aprender a realizar un pase es un buen ejercicio, en parte porque también implica aprender a distraer y a gestionar el público.
Pero a menudo resulta igual de desconcertante para el público usar un sustituto de un pase; probablemente el más común hoy en día sea el doble corte inferior. Recuerdo uno que aprendí cuando empecé a practicar la cartomagia. Era de uno de los libros de Blackstone y se llamaba "Roly Poly Pass", según recuerdo. Era básicamente un corte elegante de las cartas. Puedes verlo en mi video de práctica a continuación.
As I was playing with my "Charlier Undone cut" I realized that it could be used in a similar manner as the Roly Poly pass. If you simply performed the Charlier Undone to the point where the four packets were placed back together, all you had to do was to place the right hand cards so they trapped the top packet of the left hand, rather than the bottom packet. That put the selected card on top of the deck. Then doing the cut again, normally as a false cut, looked like the selected card was truly lost. Check out the video.
Start with a break above the selected card. In the video you see me dribble cards onto the card that is returned. This is a very disarming method of returning a card. By dribbling the cards tilted slightly downward and slightly injogged the cards will not align with the cards in the left hand. If you squared up the cards in the left hand before starting the dribble, you will find it easy to create a break at the injogged cards.
Now you start the Charlier Undone cut, first swing cutting a quarter of the pack above the break, and then pivoting the top packet to the break. This is different from the action in the Charlier Undone cut. In that cut you pivot the packet below what you raise with your right first finger. Refer to my post on the Charlier Undone cut. In this control you pivot the cards above the break instead.
The image to the left shows the point where the four packets are being recombined. At this point the selected card is the top card of the top packet in the right hand.
After completing the first Charlier Undone cut as an actual cut, now do a true Charlier Undone false cut. The image to the left shows that the right hand packets are now being placed below the left hand. The top card of the top packet in the left hand is now the selected card.
