Terry G. Smith has been doing his performance “Exploring the World of E.S.P.” for more than 40 years. He has worked for as few as 5 people and as many as 500 in and around his home city of Williamsport PA.
“I don’t aspire to be a rich and famous Mentalist, I just love my craft and the reactions it creates.”
Terry 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.

This routine allows you to have a spectator think of ANYTHING, have them write it down, and you will be able to determine what it is and end up clean. All you need to carry with you is a few blank cards, a pen and most importantly, a paper clip, as it will be..... The PSYCHIC ANTENNA.
Everything in this routine is natural and logical with no "funny" moves and focuses on everything except the method.
The routine relies on sleight-of-hand of moderate difficulty. The moves are motivated and blend into the normal action and movement of the routine.
