Tips
Some sleight of hands will cause the cards to create sounds, which arouse audiences' suspicion. To counter that, make sure you are making all the conversation to cover up.
:: Riffle Force ::
  • Effects: Audience prompted to yell stop as they please while cards are being riffled from the front. When stopped, 'forced' card is pick by audience.
  • Level of Difficulty: Easy
  • Level of Amazement: "What the...???!!"
  • Preperations: Glimpse of the top card.
  • Points to Note: Always, always, always, position yourself in front of the audience, not the left side, not the right side, but IN FRONT, cards' front edge facing them.
