The person seeing the demonstration would choose the task that the psychic would have to do to prove their abilities. Read the stories about Banachek in Project Alpha. The your use of the word "method" betrays your thinking. You are thinking like a magician in that if you see something...

Heads Heads Heads Heads Tails

What is the context of the effect? Close up, parlor, stage? How is the verbally named card revealed? Etc. Why I'm asking is that there may be better ways to force a card than using a verbal force. As @MickaelD said, there is not a verbal force other than equivoque that is 100% effective...

Tossed out deck, card forces, invisible thread and chair routines seem to be leading... A group of magician friends (including @WitchDocIsIn) had met up in New York City for lunch and were hanging out in a park. I began to perform for two women who sat down on a bench that was next to were we...
