The card to be forced is on the bottom of deck. The cards are run from left to right in the usual manner, but the action is started while approaching the audience so as to give time for the following maneuver: With the second and third fingers of the left and right hand work the bottom card over toward right side. The cards are still run from left to right passing above the chosen card. Ask someone in the audience to indicate his choice by touching the card desired. When it is indicated lift up this card with all the cards above it and as the pack is squared up the forced card slips in from below. A clever form of misdirection is to tell the person after he has touched one card that in order to demonstrate to him that you are not forcing a card upon him, you will let him keep his first choice or make another. Of course, it makes no difference at all.
