Hey I need to be able to force a 3 digit page number any suggestions? the first 2 digits can be random but I need the last number to be able to be forced

I was thinking a change bag.. but I really want to save the change bag for a different trick later on in the show

You could use the old force a playing card or if you want to use a prop, try the Clear Force Bag.

I suggest you take a look at mental magic books, these will deal with the forcing of numbers. I don't do mental magic anymore, so maybe someone can suggest a source.

You might find some ideas in "Hidden Numerical Forces" by Thomas Henry. Be warned, however, that onece you pick up that book, you'll have trouble putting it down before you've read every page!

Try a deck of number cards.

If you need to force a page or bank of pages try doing a riffle force with the book.

That's what I was thinking.

Check out Mental Directory from E-Magic Supply. It is a phone book test that is very simple and easy involving a force that may work.

I think that any method of forcing a card will fit your need, just by forcing a card with the value of the digit that you want to force.

The Hoy Book Test method is what I would use.

What is the context of the routine??? great ideas here, but if they don't fit in with the rest of the routine which none of us know, then they wont really be effective. IM sure though if you explain it, someone here can lead you in the correct direction
