 Hey everybody, welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a book review Hey today, we're gonna look at 202 methods of forcing from pheo anaman. What this is. It's exactly like it sounds It's a book on card forcing. Okay, and two hundred and two 202 different methods pheo anaman if you don't know it's mastermind of magic It's been around for a long time most of the classic books contain at least one or two of his tricks This book you can find currently on Amazon or from your favorite magic retailer as you can see the book is really a booklet Very much a pamphlet and so I think it's easily around the six dollar range. It's it's under ten dollars It's a very affordable book. Alright, so why should you have this book in your library? Well for one It's a classic of magic number two. It's the oanaman number three A lot of other books refer to it or a lot of videos refer to it They'll say as you see in 202 methods of forcing So that would be a big reason another reason would be just to as a resource to go to and draw inspiration from Sometimes when you're putting a trick together Creating your own trick or you're doing multiple tricks back to back You don't want to do the same force over and over again on the same spectator because they'll start to catch Why it's like why do you keep doing that same force? Like maybe you want to mix it up and show that you know more than just the riffle force, right? So getting this as a resource 202 methods of forcing Would help you with that now that said You have to understand that with 202 methods of forcing. They're not all winners. Okay far from it They're not all go-tos. They're not all the best. This is more like a compendium of Ton and you have to kind of weed through them to find the good ones Okay, they're not listed as the best to worst. They're just listed and so you have to do a lot of reading To find those good ones and so reading isn't your thing if you don't like books Maybe you might not like this the other Negative or the other downside to this is this has not been rewritten in 2016 vocabulary, okay, this if this is gonna read a lot like Shakespeare or The King James Bible, okay, and that doesn't mean that there's these in thousand the Kings English in this Okay, but it's definitely a more archaic form of writing and so you just kind of have to get past that to get into the heart of it and so When I sit down to read this, I don't read it. I kind of spread it. I kind of read fast and See if this is something I want to look at and if I don't like that force I just go out of the next one, you know Some of these forces are really outside the box like stick all the cards in a paper bag and shake them up Like they're like that. Okay, so they're not all just straightforward fanning or spreading or riffling down the deck Some of these are very very very creative some of them are very very outside the box And so again, you'll have to go through it Glean from it see which one of these fits your style the best and go from there opening page in this book It's from 1932. Okay, so you can just guess that the language is that old, okay? There's also there's also not any pictures Okay, the books pretty much gonna look just like this where every single force is written out in one of these little Chapter headings so it's gonna rely on you either doing the force with the book as you're going through it Or just picturing it what it looks like in your head All right So that is my review for 202 methods of forcing from Theo Anaman a classic of card magic and definitely should be on yourself If you are into card magic at least card tricks as always recommend that you like this video Just so other people can find it faster We also recommend that you subscribe to this channel just to stay up to date on the latest in cards and card magic If you want to follow me on social media, you can I'm at facebook.com slash magic orthodoxy twitter.com slash magic orthodoxy instagram.com slash magic underscore orthodoxy and you can always catch up with more content at magic orthodoxy dot com Thanks.
