- | In November 1911, Horace Goldin demonstrated for Victor Farelli a shrewd variation on the [[cards:cut_pass_and_goldin_pass|Cut Pass]], the working of which Farelli eventually learned from him in January 1932. Goldin’s addition was to do the Cut Pass after having a selection returned to the middle of the deck. The Cut Pass was executed and the upper hand turned to expose the face of its half of the deck. The performer explained that, by looking at this card, he could find the selection, as the known card is placed directly over it. The halves were put back together, and the selection was now on top. Goldin used this strategy to baffle fellow magicians. | + | In November 1911, Horace Goldin demonstrated for Victor Farelli a shrewd variation on the [[cards:cut_pass|Cut Pass]], the working of which Farelli eventually learned from him in January 1932.
