Effect
The Force Word trick allows a magician to make a spectator choose a specific word or drawing without realizing they were influenced. The magician presents a dry-erase board with multiple words or prompts the spectator to draw something freely. Despite appearing to have free choice, the spectator always ends up selecting or drawing exactly what the magician intended. The effect can be used in comedy routines, mentalism acts, or psychological illusions, creating a strong moment of surprise and engagement.
