This book was a self-proclaimed labour of love for Ouellet, a reflection of his longtime fascination with the sleight. The book contains a variety of methods for accomplishing the move, and a handful of tricks that use it, described in a conversational tone that displays a sense of humor about the subject. For example, Ouellet opens the book with contradicting quotes from two legendary sources:
"The pass is the very backbone of conjuring." Professor Hoffmann
"The pass is not absolutely essential to card conjuring and any trick can be performed without using it." Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue
