Another Force

WITH the short card on the top of the pack, shuffle several
times leaving the card in position on the top. Ask a spectator to call any number from one to twenty. Suppose ten is chosen. Count off nine cards keeping them in the same order and put them on the bottom of the pack. Have the spectator look at the top card, note what it is and replace it. Let him then cut the cards burying his card in the middle.
As you go to a second person, find the short by riffling and make the pass at that point, or openly cut the cards. Tell him you will count down ten cards and have him look at and remember whatever card is at that position now. Go through the same routine and he naturally gets the same card as the first man.
Go through exactly the same procedure with a third spectator and you have forced the same card on all three. Finish the effect in any way you wish.
