I have an old effect I bought years ago that requires one to perform the "165 force"; this is the old force using cards numbered 1-9, and they are mixed and dealt into three piles. The total sum of each pile is 165.
Unfortunately, I can't find my instructions that came with this...therefore, I don't remember the sequence of 'shuffles' that are involved to get the cards stacked correctly so that they'll deal right. Can anyone help me with that?

Not quite sure, but I think Richard Osterlind had an effect using this principle. Now I can't remember which Video is that...

Right...and I checked that. However, he doesn't explain the "shuffling/dealing" sequence. In the version I'm referring to, you start with the cards in order 1-9, then shuffle off a certain sequence of numbers. In the Osterlind DVD, he takes the cards out in that order.

Have you looked on the John Archer DVD, Educating Archer?
A brilliant DVD! Tony |

Sorry, no...wasn't familiar with that one, Tony. I am just a bit peeved at myself that I can't find the instructions for the original routine that explained that.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I did have someone who remembered the sequence who sent a PM and cleared that up. Thanks. Rick

Stunners or Stunners Plus == Larry Becker uses it as a force for his lock effect. Explanations there.

John Archer uses the principle with his Chinese Choice effect, which is on The Educating Archer DVDs or sold as a separate effect. |

'Bernstein on Number Predictions'? On page nine is Bernstein's version of the similar Becker effect, he gives the stacking order of the packet prior to being cut and dealt by one of the participants. The total here is 165 due to the use of only 3 people and hence three sets of three digit numbers.
