Buy a book called royal road to card magic. Also try davenports or jb magic as im sure they do books or dvds just on card forces. Some are so easy to do. :wink: I find the hindu shuffle force a good one to use :wink:

all those that believe in telekinesis raise my right hand!!!

get the "5 forces" instant download from penguinmagic.co.uk - good start i guess.

otherwise get born to perform dvd - come with the riffle and hindu force in it as well as many other things.

it depends whether you want just forces, or forces and effects e.t.c

the 5 forces teaches the riffle and hindu as said, as well as the topsy turvy, cross cut and sliup cut force.

good luck!

Love

Or, if you can gain access, The Learned Pig Project has 202 methods of forcing as a download. That should keep you going for a while!

I do believe this is Daryl from my school, lol. Daryl, i thought you were searching for a new hobby, you sticking to magic then? :evil:.

I know you have been asking me to tell you tricks [and i havn't] but just remember that this isn't a place for free magic tricks, it's a community to help with tricks you have bought and generally talk about and share magic tricks.

I think it is cruel to force a card to do anything. It should do what it wants :lol:

Have you thought about joining a magic club or society?

Tell them if they dont pick the king of clubs or any other card you want forced you will kill them slowly. That seems to work for me when the classic force doesnt work :D

What does Force card mean? I have bought some magics before. One of them is about forcing a card thru the box of the cards. I have help on that.

HENRYTB, not that sort of forcing and not sure if I can tell what forcing a card means (forum rules and all that).

Magic is real, just look around you, some of the most amazing things have no reason, no explanation but are very real.
