I'm the creator of the SvenPads and thanks to all for your support of this incredible product. There are literally endless possibilities with this innocent prop that should fly 100% under all radar for your performances. The pad should never be the focus of your effect - it should act as an invisible addition to it. Franco's video was outstanding: It shows the complete fairness of the procedure. I also recommend pulling the cover of your pad all the way back before handing to the spectator. You do not want to temp the spectator to riffle or flip multiple pages - so always SHOW THEM first by demonstrating what to do - "Open the pad and take a quick look at one page only."
Other nice ways of having them peek is to show all the pages to be different - then hand them the pad, ask them to look directly in your eyes as they flip through the pages and to STOP wherever they want (while looking at your eyes). Then tell them to peek at where they stopped.
Many performers worldwide are secretly using this weapon for pre-show uses and it is superb for that.
You can also put more than one force on each force page: This is what Oz did on America's got Talent. This can add a "dual reality" element which mentalists are already quite familiar with. For example all the pages might have the names of celebrities, but the force page might have BRAD PITT (Oceans 11). The (Oceans 11) in parenthesis allows you many other hits, and the audience will have no idea how you got them. And the spectator will be amazed that you got both the name and the film.
Other ideas are to put RANDOM statements on all the non-force pages (similar to Franco). You can also put lists of things on the pages.
Many corporate performers like me are using the pads to list the features of company products with the force of one particular item - great for trade shows or a special client.
Drawing duplication is also a great use for your pads.
*Please do not make your pad the focus of your presentation! It should be used, then tossed.
You can also use the pad for a "tossed out deck" idea - this is what Justin Willman does now for his stage shows to powerful effect/
