Did you learn that force from YouTube?
It looks like a YouTube force :/
@SilverMagicAddict There are much better forces out there.
If you want a force that accomplishes the same thing (in the same visual manner)- have the cards on top, have the spectator cut into the deck and flip the cards over, and have them cut deeper and flip the full packet over. The first face down card will be the card from the top. (If you guys remember the name to it let me know, can't think of it off the top of my head).
However, I suggest doing a different force. You could do the one described above. You could also do a couple Slip cut forces, or a riffle force. You could even experiment with a classic force, or even the "Topsy Turvey force". Just find one that looks nice to you.
One thing I would like to say is that, from what I understand, all of the videos you've made (at-least on the forums here) are straight performances of tricks from beginner level magic YouTube channels. You should try and personalize your tricks. A lot of the "complete tricks" (from channels like the one mentioned above, ones that teach full tricks that are actually just repeat beginner level tricks, especially if they don't have a major source of effects available/coming in to them) are very basic and not taught very well. As a result, you end up with a pretty bland trick in the end, and not necessarily taught right. What you need to remember is that magic isn't magic until you put a story and your own style to it. There is no absolute way to perform. So if you don't like something, change it.
Next, you should also remember that when you start doing a straight trick from YouTube to spectators, that is how exposure starts - not from the source, but the magicians. When a ton of people are performing the same trick with
no style, no persona, and no... personal flair(?) is when the magic becomes about the trick and not the performance itself. I could perform the most simple, utterly stupid trick to you, but as long as I have a full performance on it and not just a straight up trick, the spectators will not be watching a trick -they will be experiencing the art we are sharing with them. And if they ain't watching the trick, they ain't worried about the method.
