Why aren't you using the Losing Control technique to maneuver selections to the top of the deck?
It's quick to understand and easy to master, unlike the pass, which can take a lifetime to perfect. You'll get the hang of it in a few minutes.

A while ago, I was searching for the 1st magician in Canada, and records point to Maginnis in 1875. @canadasmagic, @David_Acer, @mullins_bill, @joeculpepper - Plot twist: It's Maginnis, but the magic happened in Aug 1794! Found an intriguing clipping from the Montreal Gazette.
