What Force is This?

Hi Guys,

I thought I remember seeing a force where a spectator was asked to "see a card" as the magician quickly riffled the deck. It was similar to the peek but the spectator never calls stop, they just see the card (which is a forced card). I'm sorry if this is a poor description, does anyone know if this is a real thing and where it might be taught?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if it has a specific name, especially when given there are many methods to accomplish the force, with gimmicks, setups, and off the cuff. I might call it a riffle glimpse force among friends but I really feel like it is so old and common that many magicians would claim to have created it.
