I recently bought 202 Methods of Forcing.
I am pleased with the product. Does anybody have this manuscript and what forces do you have the most success with. Got mine from trickshop.com I think that I will have some fun with these along with the forces in Banacheks PS Good times!! |

I posted this response a while back when Forcing Methods were discussed.
----------------------- I define a force as “any method of controlling a person’s selection from among several options, so the person ends up with the one option the mentalist wants.” When a mentalist uses a force effectively, it appears to the audience that a free choice is being made. But, in fact, it is not a free choice. The mentalist skillfully controls the selection. Here is a list of forces for the serious Menalist - none of which uses playing cards. Please understand that there may be additional forces...and these forces could be categorized several different ways. Each is briefly described in Mentalism, Incorporated: Volume Two. --------------------------------------- Verbal/Manipulative Forces These forces rely primarily upon verbal deception or sleight-of-tongue. These forces are truly impromptu and almost always use items that the audience members supply. 1. Equivoque 2. Psychological Forces 3. Miscall Force 4. Peek & Force with a Borrowed Book 5. Newspaper Tear Force 6. PATEO Force 7. 10/11 Force and other variations Mechanical Forces These forces rely upon items that are supplied by the performer. These items appear normal, but are often gaffed. During the routine, the mentalist attempts to make the items appear secondary (or inconsequential) to the mental ability being displayed. 8. Bluff Force 9. Mis-Covered Books and Magazines 10. Page-Forcing Books 11. Self-Gaffed Books 12. Word Forcing Books 13. Newspaper Column Force 14. Gimmicked Page Force 15. Limited Viewing Force 16. Green Bean Force 17. Switch Force 18. Switch Switching Wallets and Envelopes Force 19. Transparent Forcing Bags 20. Forcing Boxes and Chests 21. Non-Marking Pen/Pencil Force 22. Double-Sided Coin Force 23. Mathematical Forces — Self working 24. Numeric Total Forces 25. Playing Card Substitutes Chuck Hickok Visit: http://www.chuckhickok.com/tools.html |

Chuck was good enough a while back to send me an essay from his above cited work.
I found it to be well written and I would say judging from the contents and the sample I received it would be of a great value to those in search of such information. I do point out I do not own this book but from what I have seen I would have definitely purchased it had it been available years ago. (And saved myself a good deal of money and time) Best Wishes, Jim http://www.JimClass.Com

MoJave.
It does give ways of doing what you ask, but they aren't as straight forward as "pick a page and word and I'll tell you what it is" kind of thing. But it does point you in the right road. |

Chuck,
I'm interested in your book. You say that you briefly describe verbal forces in it. How briefly, if your happy to give me that info? As well as your book, can you maybe point me towards books that deal with that type of material, forcing? Boyd |

Jack Dean's "The Equivoque Choice" covers all of what you are looking for in regards to verbal forcing.

The material on forces in Volume Two takes up 45 pages. The review of Volume Two in the current Magic tells you more about the value of what those 45 pages contain. I talk about equivoque...and cite three sources. Jack Dean's booklet is one great source. As is Maven's booklet and what's in the Berglas book. I offer a few ideas about my approach to equivoque as well that have never been in print. Chuck |
