The Herrmann Pass (also Herrmann Shift) is a sleight of hand move used to control cards. This pass involves a complete deck turnover.
It was a favorite of Alexander Herrmann and one of the earliest publications of the move was in Stanyon’s Serial Lessons in Conjuring. This is supposed to be Herrmann’s actual handling of the move.
In 1897, a version was published as a turnover pass for the first time, by August Roterberg in New Era Card Tricks.
