A Crisscross Force Subtlety

The video kicks off with the basic Crisscross Force, where the spectator cuts the deck at an angle to force the top card. Then, the creator introduces their innovative twist: before the force, the spectator cuts the deck into two piles. This small change makes the trick much harder to figure out. The creator walks through the technique step by step, including how to secretly get a thumb break and hide it during the performance. It's a clear, practical tutorial on making the Crisscross Force even more foolproof.
