Akira’s Classic Pass is not about adding unnecessary movements to obscure the natural flow; it focuses on eliminating those unnatural gestures entirely. This innovative method, refined over 20 years, avoids the typical pinky clip motion associated with the Classic Pass. Traditionally, the deck must be aligned before executing the pass, involving several steps: aligning the deck, preparing for the pass, performing the pass, and realigning the deck. Akira’s streamlined approach simplifies this by allowing the pass to occur seamlessly while aligning the decks.

This DVD is presented in English, and while some may worry about missing the nuances of the pass, rest assured that if you follow the instructions carefully, noise will not be an issue. The footage was recorded in 2016, with Akira continuously refining his technique over the years. The methods demonstrated may appear smoother than what you see on social media today, thanks to years of practice and adaptation.

This DVD serves as a crucial guide to mastering Akira’s Classic Pass. Practice diligently, and you’ll master these techniques in no time. The DVD is dubbed in English.
