The Cut Deeper Force is a method for forcing a card. How it looks: Place the deck face down and ask the spectator to cut off a small portion, turn it face up and replace it on top. Now, ask the spectator to cut off a larger portion of the deck, turn it face up and replace it on top again. Ask the spectator to spread the cards and slide out the first face-down card that appears.
