THREE Intermediate Card Forces

This tutorial dives into three intermediate-level card forces, perfect for magicians looking to refine their sleight-of-hand skills. The creator expresses gratitude to his audience and emphasizes that while these forces may be challenging for beginners, they offer excellent practice for those with some experience. Throughout the video, the Ace of Spades serves as the consistent force card. The first force explored is the Lazy Seconds Force, inspired by Aussie Wind's *Repertoire* and connected to the creator's own “Slip and Slide” control, utilizing a modified second deal and leveraging gravity for a natural look. Next, the Visual Retention Change, a switch adaptable as a force, is demonstrated, with a preference for using a card box for a natural cover and employing a “back breaker” break by D Vernon for a clean switch. Finally, the Charlie Miller Table Spread Force, considered a top-tier force, is presented, requiring a break above the force card achieved through a simple overhand shuffle, enhanced by Ryan Plunket’s “breather crimp” to eliminate visible breaks. Practical tips are shared, including utilizing gravity, shading movements, maintaining natural handling, and paying attention to timing, particularly with the Charlie Miller force. The creator enthusiastically recommends the Charlie Miller Table Spread Force and concludes with a heartfelt thank you and encouragement to practice.
