This is one of the best forces that I always use. The method behind it just can't get any simpler.
It is such an easy and angle-proof force. Plus, it's only for $3.95. You should definitely get this. Nice work Mathieu!
Mijrin • United Kingdom • 04/24/13
Great force. Aside from being easy and cheap, it's an awesome trick for someone new to magic. The fact that you can ask someone to place a card in the deck helps keep the audiences attention on you and what's happening.
Harris • United Kingdom • 04/20/13
Great, simple trick. Very easy to perform and gets good reactions.
Edward S • Arizona • 04/18/13
Very nice force for those who love sticking cards in the middle of the deck and have a reason to flourish with it before giving it to a spectator to do this move. Great idea.
Teja Yendapally • NJ • 04/06/13
Simple, easy, deceptive, and awesome. It is a steal for this price. Just Buy it. YOU WONT REGRET IT!
David Boyce • Florida • 04/03/13
This is soooo simple to learn and is incredible and it was ONLY $3.95. WHAT A STEAL! I love the riffle force and use it ALL the time but I love this force as it's different and allows me to change things up.
Joseph Brimicombe • England • 03/23/13
Nothing beats the classic force but this is great for uncertain situations. Finally, a Mathieu Bich trick that is reasonably priced!
Anthony • Canada • 03/08/13
SO SIMPLE!! Enough said. Get it now!
Ollie • England • 02/13/13
Great little force. Doesn't take too long to master and looks so fair and invisible if done well.
Joey • Canada • 02/02/13
Amazing force!! I love it and always use it. Great for so cheap.
Mago Silva • Milano • 01/26/13
Very clever, very easy, and very good price! You MUST buy it!
Josh • United States • 01/21/13
The Force is my go-to force. Simple as that. It's super easy, super deceptive, and fools spectators of all levels of skepticism.
Jack • UK • 01/15/13
A great little force which is very easy to do and I managed to master it in under 10 minutes.
Vlad • Romania • 12/24/12
It's a simple, easy, and very practical move. I can tell you that this is the force I use most of the time and everyone thinks it's a free selection.
Mayo Marte • Philippines • 12/16/12
Simple and easy cool. The method is great!!!
Matt M. • USA • 12/13/12
A great trick! Easy to do and it always works. And of course, pretty easy to learn.
jimmyjaypops • eire • 12/08/12
This is sooo deviously simple and incredibly effective. Worth every cent. One of the best forces I've ever seen.
Oscar Hernandez • Mexico • 12/05/12
A cleverly designed force. It is very easy to do and angle proof. I highly recommend this effect!
Skipper • USA • 12/04/12
The trick is good, but it's definitely not worth $3.95. Very simple, very easy, and very expensive.
Vladimir • Montreal • 12/03/12
This is a force I use a lot. Doing it well, you won't be caught. It is very easy once you know exactly what to do. Good job, Bich.
Chong Ren • Singapore • 11/30/12
Another great product from the mastermind that is Mathieu Bich. It really lives up to the name of someone who fooled Penn and Teller.
D.S. • USA • 11/12/12
One of the best forces I've seen - I use it constantly. It's as deceptive as the Classic Force and as dependable as the Riffle Force.
Antonio • Canada • 11/10/12
This force is so easy and efficient that I surprise myself sometimes thinking how easy it is. Very useful and you can perform it with I think almost no practice smoothly. It is that easy. Worth the price.
Patto • Portugal • 11/08/12
That is AMAZING!
Zach • Singapore • 11/06/12
A very clean looking force that may be better than the riffle force at times - very easy to do.
Zvi • Israel • 11/02/12
Besides the Classic Force, this is the BEST force I have ever seen. This is the force I'm using from now on.
Emmet • Hong Kong • 11/01/12
This is a simple and very deceptive force. It is easy to get into and easy to execute.
Jace • WA • 10/27/12
A very useful force! Very interesting to use for tricks with multiple selections. Makes a great use for Hi-C by Connor Martin as well.
Arron • Cheshire England • 10/20/12
This is my new standard go-to force. It required minimal practice to make it smooth and it is the only force where I feel confident enough to not wonder if the spectator will see the move.
AK • Japan • 10/19/12
What goodness! This force is very deceptive and the method itself is kind of a trick. This force uses another card to select a spectator's card but this is the force you should use if you don't care "how to select a card".
Wei • NYC • 10/17/12
this is a simple and deceptive force, and if done right, it looks great. If you like what you see in the trailer, get it now!
Jahid • London • 10/11/12
Does exactly what it says in the trailer. This is one of the easiest and most convincing forces around.
Andrew • USA • 10/07/12
I purchased this quite some time ago and have been using it every time I need to force a card. I have looked for a force that is not too common yet very natural looking and I have finally found it here. This is a great force and a very smooth one after a bit of practice.
Jacob • Denmark • 10/03/12
This a great force, but it is weird having to give them a card and having them say stop to put it back in. On the plus side, you can make them choose between 2 cards before you reveal them.
Charles • DC • 09/28/12
This is 24-carat gold for the price of tin. Totally major and brilliant. In two years, I predict, this will be the standard sure-fire force, rendering the Christ force and every other contender obsolete. I do think Wyatt from Australia (5/30/12) makes a crucial, crucial point. May I offer the radical suggestion that you actually add Wyatt's ideas somehow to the video?
Jamie • UK • 09/26/12
This is honestly one of the best forces I've ever seen. An amazing force which is surprisingly easy to learn!
Harry • Europe • 09/26/12
This is an amazing utility move that can be done on the spot.
Ethan Wendt • USA • 09/25/12
Usually forces would have to be fast and flashy, but this one is a great. I was so amazed with the method and I recommend it to everybody.
Martin • Norway • 09/22/12
This is one of the most beautiful forces out there. It's easy, deceptive and best of all, it costs 4 dollars. Get it now!
Kane • UK • 09/22/12
Amazing! Love it so much! Very easy to learn and perform!
Oli Smith • England • 09/22/12
So easy, so simple, and so diabolically deceptive. One of the best moves I've seen in a very long time!
Detailed explanation and great quality. For only $4, it's a steal.
Derek • Canada • 09/21/12
Awesome, very deceptive and easy to do.
Nick • Rochester, NY • 08/14/12
Mathieu, you slick devil! This is priceless!
Cam • Florida • 08/13/12
I'm not that fond of forces but I do them because some tricks I like demand them. This force is very very cool and almost a trick in itself! A very neat and SUPER clean force! The best four bucks I've ever spent!
David • Portugal and France • 08/11/12
Very simple - Great and brilliant move! Buy it!
Christopher • Canada • 08/04/12
What a beautiful and deceptive force. Definitely a MUST for magicians looking for the perfect force.
Derek • Canada • 08/03/12
Wow, this jumped to become my new favourite card force followed by the classic force but that is because it is so fair! Fooled several magicians as well as family and friends. Great card force! Highly recommended.
Juan R. • Australia • 06/24/12
I have to say, this is the best force I have ever seen. Mathieu Bich, you are an amazing magician and very talented.
Corey Eacret • Dallas, Texas • 06/21/12
No matter how many times I learn new forces, I always fall back to one tried and true method that always fools, and never messes up, until I got "THE FORCE" by Mathieu Bich.
This is an amazing force, so easy to do and deceptivley simple. I honestly felt kind of stupid having not been able to figure out what he was doing once I got the video. I have even messed up while doing this force and the people watching had no clue.
Not to mention this force can be a nice impromptu trick of its own. With a bit of extra card handling, you can do this sleight with the deck faces up and appear to change one card to another.
No card magician should be without this move in their bag of tricks.
Kim C. • Puerto Rico • 06/16/12
Mathieu Bich is BRILLIANT. This force is INCREDIBLY EASY, yet super deceptive. Buy it.
Dino Staats • Southern California • 06/14/12
Okay, I hate forcing cards. I can't stand it! Either I can never feel "smooth enough in forcing a card or the sleights just feel dirty and I don't think they'll fool anyone. This one force, aptly named "THE FORCE", has changed my entire way of thinking. It's smooth, simple and deceptive. I'm not going to try and force cards any other way anymore. I'm now going to start adding tricks that require forces into my act because I have added this force into my repertoire. Thank you Mathieu Bich and theory 11!
K0k0puff • Australia • 06/12/12
This trick just blew my mind into a thousand pieces. It's an easy sleight. Even a child can do it but, do not underestimate it. It can do wonders.
4 bucks well spent.
Wyatt • Australia • 05/30/12
As good as everybody is saying, simple, very easy and effective. The teaching is very short, which I usually like, but something Mathieu doesn't mention at all, is that you can force the card both above and below to which the spectator placed their card. All he mentions is the card below. This opens up a whole bunch of possibilities, such as giving the spectator the choice of either the card above or below, forcing two cards at once, or predicting the two cards they cut in between. This extra concept wasn't really that hard to come up with, for anybody, but I feel it is something he should have mentioned in the video.
mracefab • italy • 05/25/12
Very clever and Kenner is involved in some way. :) :)
The Alv • Spain • 05/23/12
Reasons to buy this:
1. It's Mathieu Bich. Basically, one of the most ingenious and creative minds out there.
2. It's $3.95. Unless you're really hungry, it's everlasting and better than that sandwich you're thinking of buying.
3. It's Awesome. Simple. Efective.
Egor • Russia • 05/22/12
Just purchased! THAT'S AWESOME! So clean, so beautiful, so simple! I can't imgaine how much this will blow people away...
Benjamin Taylor • UK • 05/21/12
Honestly one of the best forces I have ever seen.
Vladimir • Russia • 05/15/12
That's cool!!!
Casshan W • Somewhere • 05/15/12
This is wonderful! A very very nice force that I will use on a daily basis! It looks extremely fair and will fool lay people as well as magicians!
Lucas Cimino • Earth • 05/14/12
This is the best force I have ever used, it is amazing! Nobody understands how I do it. I have been able to do a magic show with about 10 card tricks that used that force and every time i did it, they freaked out! BEST FORCE EVER.
Daniel Ahn • California • 05/14/12
Such an amazing and deceptive force! Great Job!
johno • world • 05/14/12
How do you do it? It's amazing!
John Blaske • Murrieta, CA • 05/10/12
Definitely something I use on a regular basis. I tried this on my friend who got me into magic and was complete baffled at it. I did it 3 times in a row to him with different cards and he still couldn't get it.
Bravo Mathieu! May The Force be with you!
Bryan C. • Sydney • 05/08/12
Great, simple little move to have in one's repertoire. The fact that the move can be an effect of it's own shows how diabolically awesome it is. A MUST HAVE!
Matt P • United Kingdom • 05/07/12
Oh my, this is one of the simplest forces I've ever seen and yet it seems so so fair. I'm usually put off by a number of forces because they are too difficult but you'll have this down in minutes.
Stevens • Indonesia • 05/06/12
Amazing!
Carmelo • Quebec • 05/06/12
Wow! Simple, effective - a good force to add to your arsenal! Merci Mathieu!
Zachary • Singapore • 05/05/12
Very simple and deceptive card force!
Ady • Oltenita, Romania • 05/05/12
This is a great effect. I had to buy it especially because it's an effect by Mathieu.
Sean • Oregon • 05/05/12
This force is great and doubled by the fact that it is called The Force and it has come out on Star Wars day. Just... simply... awesome...
Nicholas Siegel • Louisville, KY • 05/04/12
If you are thinking about buying this, you probably already know a fair number of card forces. However, I don't think there is ever a limit to how many good ones to have in your arsenal.
This force is deceptive, easy, and natural. I highly recommend it.
Chris Wiehl • NY • 05/04/12
Mathieu actually performed this force on me a short while ago when I saw him. Fooled me over and over again! I had no idea how it was done! Amazing force to add to your arsenal!
Taz • France • 05/04/12
Bravo!
Mike • Bakersfield, Ca • 05/04/12
WOW!!!! Clean, simple and very deceptive. Thanks Mathieu!
Vadim • Ukraine • 05/04/12
WOW!!!
Russell • Charlotte, NC • 05/04/12
This is amazing! My new favorite card force! It's not too difficult, and it looks totally fair and open. Mathieu Bich, thank you.
