I was on a site the other day that had a list of antique forcing books.Are new forcing books still being sold today? I have done a few searches at online magic stores without any luck.Any suggestions?

Ok Magyckmyke,
I can't figure out if you mean books on forces or books that force (words, numbers).
From there I can help!

anyone set up a forcing web page?

where every nth paragraph has as its mth word ...

book... book... what means book? Is that a kind of paper webpage?

I was looking for books that force words like those found here but a little newer.

Magyckmyke,
I have a 2 forcing books that I like, got them both from tannens in NY. First and foremost is "Asrology the hidden force"
This book set (you get 2 books both are the same, hardbound. Red cover black cover)
is awesome! Each page has a lucky card, you can have the spectator open the book to find his lucky card and you devine it. You can have the sectator open to any page and look at the last word on the page and devine that. You can have them look up the page with their birthdate on it and devine a word from that page. It takes a little time to learn but it's a great effect! The second one is a Sherlock Holems book that works in the same way yet only uses the first word on each page. These books do not force words as any page can be turned to. But if it is the same effect you are looking for, please check them out! They are very good!

Magickman, I have that book too. 'Astrology' is brilliant in that there are so many different effects possible with it, even to 'devining'the person's actual birthdate, from a single word. And there is no need to even let the audience know that you know the word!

I also liked the instructions manual as this gave me ideas as to simple mind reading forces that can be incorporated into my advertising. (I have since changed that though as my understanding of psychological forces has increased).

The book itself (title) gives you good reason to include it in a Mentalism/Psychic/Bizarre/New Age performance.

'Astrology The Hidden Force' is well worth it!

Larry Becker sold a Sherlock Holmes Forcing book that was great and despite the naysayers, I still love Steve Dusheck's little forcing book of quotations too.
