The Classic Pass is a versatile move in magic that shifts a card to the top, or bottom of the deck. This video includes demonstrations of the Classic Pass face-down, and face-up. In this video also includes three versions of misdirection and cover while executing the Classic Pass.

May I ask you where you learned it from?^_^
I must say you did a good job in general. My two cents would be that the 'Riffle Pass' was a bit stiff/forced, and that the timing on the 'Jiggle' was a bit off though. Other than that you did a good job on the classics.:)

You may have also missed the fact that the original Classic Pass was flashed on the first one. I had used a different, incorrect method of the Classic Pass for a while. Now, I am using Jason England's method, as seen in this video along with all the misdirecting covers.

Yes, you are also right about the Riffle Pass. The cards had become warped after long term use; the packs would not transpose at all for some reason.
Nah, I didn't miss it but it's just something that comes along with the classic methods of the 'Pass'. It shows how the 'Classic Pass' wasn't meant or constructed to be done 'in-your-face' so I can't quite blame you for that.;)
The 'King Of The Pass' DVD and our 'Practical Pass' future release cover this subject completely.^_^

Jason England's tutorial on the Classic Pass did not cover angles, unfortunately. About a year back, I never performed any moves or color changes that had a sensitive angle; now, I am still attempting to perfect my angles by using it in live performances.
