Card Trick: "Passing Through" - creator and source?

Postby Bjorn Hanson » February 3rd, 2015, 7:28 pm

I read a recent mention of a card trick, "Passing Through", but it did not include any reference to the creator or a source. Is anyone familiar with this card trick? Thank you!

Do you have an idea of the plot or something we can hang a search on?

I knew that I had recently read that trick name, but I couldn't remember where. A quick trip to Denis Behr's website found it.

Passing Through is in Darwin Ortiz's Lessons in Card Mastery (pages 47-53). It is an elaboration of Ed Marlo's Push-through Failure from The Cardician.

Immediate responses from Richard Kaufman and Michael Close - that is impressive - thank you!

No description was provided; the reference may have been to Darwin Ortiz's excellent trick "Passing Through" before it was published in LESSONS IN CARD MASTERY.
