Popis:	A simple property of magnetic fields that minimizes bouncing to passing type transitions of guiding center orbits is defined and discussed. This property, called isoprominence, is explored through the framework of a near-axis expansion. It is shown that isoprominent magnetic fields for a toroidal configuration exist to all orders in a formal expansion about a magnetic axis. Some key geometric features of these fields are described. Comment: 17 pages, 7 figures
