Isn't the Balducci force supposed to turn the cards two times. It is also called the cut deeper force.
Here the cards are turned only once. https://youtu.be/F8RvZayqTJQ?t=85 |

Penn actually calls him on 3 things about the effect and how they "perceived" that he accomplished it. Using "Balducci" as a "composer" could have just meant they knew it was a "Force". Regardless, they knew enough that he was satisfied that he hadn't "Fooled-Them".
Another aspect. They do cut some things out of the show for time. They shoot a whole season in a couple days and splice acts together (I have read). They may have cut part of the selection process out although I really do not think they did. I think it was just a way of telling him they knew the cards were forced. Especially since you don't need to force the card / cards with most rising card effects. I would still love to know where he got the triple rise effect. I use Phoenix and have still never seen one released by them. I would assume he made something himself (or bought) and it can go into any card case.

But how could one achieve a force using half of Balducci? I see that 9 of hearts on top even if video was spliced.

You don't need any special extra card although he probably did use one to avoid fiddling with the cards to clean up.

This isn't a Balducci, but something similar which inspired the Cut Deeper Force. Don't tell anyone, Sh-h-h-h---! It's a Secret.

The force that you are talking about is just one of the versions of the Balducci Force. There are several versions which don't require the second cut.

Did he turn the deck over after the first cut?

No, its just some beforehand preparation....Suffice to say that in this version the cards forced are not the top three cards of the deck, but the 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

For the love of Christ (Henry that is), it was published right after Anneman's 202 Methods of Forcing. Hugard, Braue and Mark Wilson all thought it was the Perfect Force. John Bannon uses a variation of it in Six.Impossible.Things when he combines it with the Criss Cross Force.
