Mental Card Forces

Postby Yano » Feb 11th, '10, 12:03



I was wondering does anyone know some names of some card forces you can do mentally? Or any books that would be good to learn from?

Derren Brown gives a few great examples on his DVD Devils Note Book, I'm sorry I don't know if they are from another person or their names (I don't think he names them) but they're a good force

Personaly, I would sugest using something like the mindpower deck, over verbal cues.

the reason being, there are way fewer cards you can force in the Psychological manner, than they can possibly pick from the deck.

However, dont forget, if your going to do the verbal forces, Always, but Always carry around an ID, for all those times it will go wrong. :)

DB, "Pure Effect", p 155 ff

I guess there is also a version by Paolo Cavalli - but I can't remember the concrete source right now.

Docc Hilford's one...

and then you've got the stuff that LOOKS like verbal cues, when there's something else going on...

Oh wow fast replies ^^ Thanks alot.

Just wondering which Devil Picture Book is the force in? There's 3 dvds isn't there?

Thanks looks like i will have to buy Pure Effect :)

Gonna google Docc Hilford's stuff :). Is it like in a book or dvd?

Sorry not sure what the Mindpower deck is. Is it just the magicians choice with a ID (Non existent deck)?

no.

a deck of cards is spread out, you ask a spectator to look at the deck, and think of one card they see.. you tell them what it is.

You have to only ask 2 questions, and you know.

John Bannons Smoke and Mirrors DVD which i mentioned today in another thread has his own version of the "2 way Linear Binary force" i think he calls it :o . ( The inventor is named and used some technical term)

he uses the same principle as mind power deck but using a reg deck of cards and some disguising so it seems like the spec has a free choice from the whole pack.

Also Bannon has a clever idea of turning the angling segment to his advantage by using two joke answers if he is wrong
