I'm working on an effect for which I would like to force an object. Suppose the spec has a choice of 5-10 items how could I get them to choose the one I want them to without using equivoque (I could) but I'd rather come up with something where I'm not playing that role in the spec's decision. Any thoughts? or recommended reading?
Thanks for any insight...

I have the Doc Hillford pdf and I'll revisit that, come to think of it I might even have the KK, and I'll start hunting for some of the others as well. I feel like I've got some good food for thought now. One thing I did forget to mention, and this is kind of crucial to the effect: Not only do I need to force an object, but I need it to appear that the spec has made their selection without my knowing. So, the spec will make a choice that is seemingly their own private knowledge (therein lies the problem with equivoque and the hot rod force), and then later in the routine their choice can be revealed. Numbering cards and objects could work, but its not quite the presentational style I'm looking for. If any one has any more insight I look forward to hearing it. Thanks again to all who posted.

Yes, as he said at the time, it was absolutely out of this world.
