Sure, I don't see why not. Besides which, there are a number of card forces around, and, I'm sure, many to be discovered. Anate is a card force because of the linguistics involved. With another language, such as French, it wouldn't work as a card force, but could possibly force something else.

Check out Arthur Buckley's book Card Control. Whilst it has sections for tricks, sleights, gambling moves, etc., it also has a good section for card manipulation exactly of the type you're describing.

Difference? Mostly design. Do they feel different, sure. Will it cripple your magic, no.

Agreed with above.

Unconventional perhaps, but a more comprehensive text doesn't exist in my opinion.

I don't use it cause of sleight of hand issues, as mentioned before. But used correctly, it'll help manipulation.

Brilliant jon, made my day. Cheers for that.

I prefer Draun's Stud Two-Card Pushoff Lift (phew!) myself, but both are nice no break doubles. I agree with Draun's assessment of the Expert Card Technique lift as somewhat "fanciful" given its difficulty. Not that anyone should be afraid of difficulty, but there is a limit to that.

Mattia, the principle will only work in English. I'm sure that technically speaking, you could, with enough research, find some way to use the principle in italian (I don't speak Italian, but I know that it could theoretically be applied to French, and from what I do know of the language, it...

Hi coffee_sloth, It sounds like you got a defective deck. Apologies for the first three unhelpful answers. I'm sure magicians would love to find a deck like that :P Anyway, if you submit a support ticket here: http://www.theory11.com/support/index.php?_m=tickets&_a=submit I'm sure someone...

McGill. Banachek. McGill - Suggestion has its roots in hypnosis. There's noone better than McGill for that. Banachek - Psychological Subtleties series has a crapload of material on psychological forces of OBJECTS. But in particular I would note than he, and I agree with him, advises NOT to...

Dudes. I'm only going to say this once. If you know how to fan a deck of cards, and live in the area... DON'T let this opportunity pass. Usually, you have to work for your opportunities. This one has just woken you up with a slap to the face. Don't let that go.

To put it on the table, there is a trade off. However, it's not too difficult to get around it.

To be honest, not in a long time. Technically, yes... But not since way before I was actually into mentalism unfortunately. Actually, I may do some reading about that in the near future, now that you've brought him back to the front of my mind :)

I perform several times a week (not to the same person, of course). At a gig I may perform the effect a dozen times in an hour, give or take (5 minute walkaround sets, that's about right. I don't actually count though).

Haha! Yes it does! I'm glad someone understands. A man who speaks to my heart, you are. :P

But I like acting ethically and supporting the art. :)

It's Reflection, not Reflections. Reflection was released this last weekend. Reflections has been out for some time.

I can think of a few ways to do it, but I don't know where to learn them. The sleights wouldn't be far off from the basics of coin magic, though.
