SleightfulThe BEST Force Of All Time
This tutorial dives deep into the Crosscut Force, championed by the creator as the 'best force of all time.' The video centers around using a marked deck, specifically the Speed Reader Deck by Garth Thomas, to enable a seemingly free shuffle while maintaining control of the forced card. However, the creator emphasizes that the marked deck is only half the battle; the real secret lies in a casual and confident presentation. The tutorial details several key techniques, including 'Making Yourself One with the Deck,' the Classic Deal and Mix Procedure by Ray Gleason, and the 2:00 Angle Crosscut Force, with specific instructions for both right- and left-handed performers. Performance tips include projecting confidence, incorporating time delays, engaging the spectator with casual conversation, and strategically placing the prediction to prevent tampering. Ultimately, the creator argues that the Crosscut Force, when executed with subtlety and misdirection, can be a remarkably deceptive and powerful force in magic.
