I have a routine in mind that would require forcing 3 cards, each from a separate packet of 6 cards. Would prefer to use at least 2 different types of forces and of course be highly deceptive. I know plenty of full deck forces, but packets are different. Any suggestions for forcing from a 6 card packet?

That's a very difficult task. You could do a down-under deal which would force the 4th card of the packet. Maybe you could structure the effect so the force comes before the packets are made?

Another idea is to do a peeling action. You apparently peel the top card to the bottom until a spectator says stop, but what you actually do is hold back the bottom card each time. When they say stop you show them the bottom card which is the original bottom force card.

Cameron Francis is on the Magic Café and this is right up his alley. He is good friends with Aldo Columbini and between the two of them they probably know every packet force ever devised.
