the best is always the classic force... but whenever i do it and it works... i dont have a trick for it so i just smile and laugh and say "why did you choose the ...." but whenever i want it to work... it doesnt... so yeah
i use the riffle force though.... as it has been said it is the surest and the easiest

i use the classic force unless I have to force the card for an effect. Then I would use the backslip force.
In my head, I'd built the classic force up to be so much more difficult than it is. The reason for that was Paul Green's "Classic Force" DVD. He goes into so much detail about how to move the cards towards the participant's hand, what you need to look for in their motion etc., etc. Then I saw Simon Lovell's "The Madness Behind the Methods" (yes, a Magic Makers product, but it's good). His description of the classic force made it so simple for me I literally never miss. I wouldn't challenge people on it, like "Go on, pick a card, I bet I'll make you pick the nine of spades...", but for practical purposes in the context of a routine it's perfect.
Try "40 Ways to Force a Card" with Gerry Griffin. Yes, it's Magic Makers, but it's actually not bad at all. The Classic Force is taught, with, you guessed it... 39 other forces. Check out my review for it if you want to know more.
