How Do You Reveal A Forced Card Trick?
The best magicians are those who have mastered the “force” and are expertly adept in the redirect. The redirection is what sets the stage for the “magic” to happen. The more sophisticated the redirect, the more spectacular the reveal will be. Read on to learn how to reveal a forced card trick. Pick up the cross-stacked set of cards that you have just forced upon your volunteer. (You and the volunteer should be standing or sitting at a table across from each other.) You need to pick up the cards carefully and deliberately, making sure you cannot see any of the cards. Your skills of redirect are very important here. As you slowly pick up the stack, ask leading questions of your volunteer as to how much he shuffled the deck and how careful he was to not show you the cards and how he cut them and placed them on the table. You are essentially making the volunteer take ownership of the perceived control of the trick. Hold the deck out in front of yourself, about chest high to your volunteer.
