Hi everybody! Malik the Magic Guy for expertvillage.com.
Now I’m going to show you another really
cool card force. This is so good, I almost
wasn’t sure if I wanted to put it on here,
but we’re going to have Mr. Hand again,
and we’re going to use the same force card.
Now Mr. Hand, what I would like you to do
is cut off a small portion of cards, flip
them over and put them back on top of the
deck…great, now cut a little deeper than
you did the first time, flip those over and
put those on top of the deck. So now we have
the spot in the deck with the cards changed
direction. I won’t give you the card I can
see, because obviously I know that one. But
if I give you the first faced down card, you’ll
see that’s the force card, the 8 of clubs.
Now let me show you how that works, this is
actually another one based on a optical illusion.
We start with our force card on top of the
deck. What’s going to happen is Mr. Hand
is going to cut this just like this, so that
reverses it once. Now that leaves the 8 of
clubs right here. Now when he cuts it again,
the 8 of clubs is right here, so it’s basically
staying in it’s position, it’s just getting
a few cards added on top of it, just like
that. So let me run through that again for
you. So Mr. Hand is going to cut a small portion
of cards, flip them over, he’s going to
cut a little deeper than he did the first
time and flip them over, and then when you
go through the deck you’ll find the first
faced down card and that’s your force card.
This is an excellent force to use if you’re
using cards that are little to big for your
hands, if you have to use jumbo cards. I still
use this force all the time, so this is really
a very powerful force, also you can find this
in another great book on magic called, “The
Klutz Book of Magic,” along with a bunch
of other great tricks. So that is the cut
deeper force.
