Classic Force

Postby rcarlsen » Dec 26th, '07, 18:11



Practicing classic force, can be a nightmare, as you don't always have someone to "shoot" at. The best way to do it, is during shows. If you miss, you go for another trick instead.

As a workaround, - get a dog ! :) My "Dennis" is pretty nice and always selects the forced card ! :) Great practice as he is pretty fast with his selection :)

Keep practicing :)

Fantastic... Great picture, Rune!

I'd try that on my German Shepherd but he hates card tricks!

:cry:

I thought I was only the only who did magic to my pets :lol:. I could swear my cat looks under my hand for the coin, but it's probably interest in something else :(.

I always do the classic force to a pot of wax. Try to get the card under the pot at the right time.

Great, though I did not realise that you play with marked cards!

Magic is slight of mind!

My Yorkie, Whisper, used to pick a card until she passed her first birthday; then, apparently, she smartened up and decided to give card tricks a pass! :x

My dog won't even look at me when I try to show her a card trick, but when I'm gone, it likes cutting (aka ripping) the deck a lot...

Thanks.
I've been too busy to make new videos. I've used months to finish my national contest act, which was in november... which I again won :) National Champion Close-Up, Norway.

I will create new vids, soon.

Whisper can do the Pass???! :eek:

Is Pets Win Prizes still on TV? I think that would be a sure-fire winner. Unless it's a genuinely invisible pass, in which case the judges might think you're just taking the weewee.

Congratulations - why am I not surprised at your win? :lol: :wink:

Those of us that remember your videos always thought that you had that something special.
