Force ThisTerry G. SmithTerry wanted to be able to show a packet of cards, shuffle them and have someone just look at one and then he reproduces it. He didn't want to use marked cards or some sort of stack, but he wanted it to be sure fire. As a result he came up with Force This.
While the method is not new, it is known as the Siamese Svengali Pack (see for example Encyclopedia of Card Tricks or Greater Magic), the way Terry uses it in combination with business cards and a paper clip makes this a very practical and innocent looking method.
