The Forced King
Manuel García
The best packet trick reinvented
25,99€
The Forced King is an evolution of the Classic Packet Brainwave Effect. It takes it to the next level. Simply put, the magician forces the spectator to choose one card out of 52 different possibilities. This is done through very clever subtleties and the best thing is that is easy to perform.

The Classic Packet Brainwave Effect.
The magician puts a packet of cards on the table. He says to the spectator, “Let’s play a game of imagination. Imagine that these are the four Kings.” He pantomimes plucking a card with each hand from the packet. “Imagine that I have removed two of the Kings. Do you think they are the black ones or the red ones?” The spectator says, for example, red. “That’s amazing – you’re correct!” says the magician. “Now, I will turn one of these Kings face up.”
He pantomimes turning one card over, then putting the imaginary card back into the packet. He then says, “Which red King do you think I turned over, the heart or the diamond?” The spectator says, for example, diamond. “That’s amazing – you’re correct again!” says the magician. “Of course, if it’s really true, then the King of Diamonds must be reversed in the packet. Let’s see…” He spreads the cards. One is face up. It is the King of Diamonds.
“I want to be sure you understand that this magic was accomplished by imagination, not by sleight-of-hand. Therefore, I used a King of Diamonds with a different back.” He turns over the King of Diamonds, showing that it has a contrasting back color!
“Also, because I knew you would pick the King of Diamonds, it was not necessary to use any printing on the faces of the other cards.” He turns over the three face-down cards, revealing that their faces are blank!
Comes complete with cards and instructions.

Easy to do, even for a recreational magician like me and gets great reactions through all three reveal steps.
Grant Cheezig –
This effect is too good not to have. If you are not performing this you aren’t doing mentalism right.

Ok, so I reviewed it earlier but now I’ve presented it quite a few times, this thing is killer. I can do four or five things but everyone always says, do that one card trick meaning The forced king. No one figures it out, it’s so freaking easy to do I carry it in my packet trick wallet everywhere and is my go to instant easy trick. I really milk it in the set up and presentation and am goofy about it and the ending literally fries their mind. I also carry Powerball 60 in my packet trick wallet, another absolutely easy mind blower. People seriously believe you can read their minds with both of these tricks. Love it.
