Akira Fujii - The Expert At The Classic Pass
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. This is evident in this new method. 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.
