yep. the shift and the pass are interchangable terms.
either way, i said this was a single card shift in the sense that i was shifting a single card. mightve got the jargon wrong..
A Pass is a move where the two halves of the pack transpose without the spectators knowing it. An invisible cut. The Charlier Cut is a one handed cut, the Charlier Pass is the cut executed invisibly.
The Shift is the gamblers' term of the Pass, though the name has been used by magicians to describe the pass, and other moves where single or a group of cards are moved/shifted, from one position of the pack to another. These moves are all intended to be invisible with the spectator unaware of anything has been done to disturb the order of the deck.
A Control refers to a category of card sleights involving taking control of single or group of cards in the pack, in a course of a shuffle, cut, or any other action. The spectator might be aware or not about the deck's order being disturbed/retained.
My definitions, if there is any correction I'd really appreciate it
As for your move, its commonly known today as Wow control ( at least, the mechanic, that control looks different ), but all have roots to Greater Magic.
Though, keep thinking.
Cheers,
