Hindu Force Alternative A man from Denny and Lee's Magic Studio in Las Vegas gave me a tip for the Hindu Force. Rather than the usual method of stealing packets, getting breaks, simply showing the bottom card of the packet when the spectator says stop, or the many variations, there is a simpler one than can be just as deceptive. Begin with the force card on the bottom of the deck. Start with the usual method of holding and drawing the packets, and ask the spectator to stop you at any time. When he/she says stop, take the cards that are in the right hand and hold them over the cards in the left hand, but a little further out. Extend the left forefinger, and draw the right hand packet back, drawing out the bottom card of the pack. Drop all the cards on top, and pivot your hand upward, showing the, "Freely selected" card to the spectator. Below is a video which better illustrates this method.
I don't know if this method has been published before. If it has, or if you have any comments, questions, or criticism about this article, please send an e-mail to feedback@magicshane.com. Be sure to include, "Hindu Force Alternative" in the subject line. Shane Wiker Copyright 2004 |
