there's a nice one on ...er.... it's Sankey video..... that is kind of looks a bit like a classic force but involves culling a card, from top or bottom, so it doesn't really matter which card they choose.


I believe I already mentioned that one earlier in the discussion.

Sorry to begin with, but I've only briefly scanned the previous posts, so I might repeat something.

The Classic is my favourite force. You only learn it by practice unfortunately. And the only practice you can do is doing it to people.

Fan the cards, let someone pick one, return it to the deck, manipulate it to the top by your favourite method, reveal it in a million ways, stick it to your forehead, put it under a cup or whatever. Everyone can do this with a small amount of knowledge.

NOW Classic Force. If the spectator doesn't take it, do the above. Its such an easy get out. And a hell of an easy way to learn the Classic.

Just do the Classic all he time. Even when you don't need to. Its the only way to learn it.

When you fan the cards out and someone takes the force card its great. I've been in the pub and someone has said how did you do that ? I told them that I made them pick that card and then did it to them again. I then did it to his mate and he took the force card too. It all comes with practice.

Don't be frightened of it. If they don't take the card, shuffle the one they did take to the top and reveal it. Just keep doing it. The more times people take it, the more confident you will get.
