Although this one-handed pass was originally devised as a secret shift, the Charlier Pass has become better known as the Charlier Cut, thus making its purpose a display of skill rather then a hidden maneuver.

You guys do the Charlier Cut differently than I learned it when I was first starting out. I think it’s a little smoother and easier to do other things while you do the cut if you start with the deck elevated and let a half drop instead of the way you did it. It gives you more room and doesn’t involve as much coordination as this one.
Our technique for executing the Pass was devised after years of experience. We don’t claim it to be better then the original but it does allow for more control of the cards while executing it.
It would have been nice if Dan&Dave would have shown how to do the other kinds of Charlier Cuts (just like in their dvd, “everythingelse”). I’ve had a lot of troubles with a certain ‘variation’ of the Cut and hoped to see an explanation here.
Nonetheless, this was a great explanation to the mechanics behind the Charlier Cut!
can someone help me because when i try the cut the packet help up by your thumb flips over like when i start to release my thumb and sometimes it flips over before i can bring the bottom packet up high enough to support the other packet so it just like forces outta my thumb
thanks for the help
