Steven Keyl – The Three Pillars of Classic Force Recovery

The classic force is generally regarded as the most natural and convincing of all card forces. Yet it is one of the least used. Why? Because people assume that it isn’t 100% surefire and reliable.

Many struggle with the classic force because somewhere in the back of their mind they hear the little gremlins of self-doubt say, “What am I going to do if I MISS?!?”

This video is designed for all the people that want to use the classic force but worry about all the things that could go wrong. The “3 pillars of recovery” is a system covering all contingencies yet still allows you to force a card in the most casual and deceptive manner possible.

Pillar 1 – TECHNICAL OUTS
Pillar 2 – PSYCHOLOGICAL OUTS
Pillar 3 – PHYSICAL OUTS

Each pillar deals with a different strategy of recovering from a situation where the spectator “takes the wrong card.” You can mix and match these different strategies or you may find that one of them resonates so strongly with you that you don’t need the others–and that’s fine!

After working through the nearly 70 minutes of material you will be so comfortable and confident that you will begin to ACTUALLY USE the classic force! And there’s no way to put a price on that… oh, wait, there is… $9.95.

Note: While the classic force itself is briefly covered, this video is really focused on all of the situations where things may not go exactly as planned… AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT THEM! For an in-depth look at the classic force itself, there are several resources to choose from, most notably Paul Green’s DVD on the classic force.

Here’s what some others have said:

“Steven Keyl’s wonderful video on recovering from a “missed” Classic Force is great. I learned some new strategies and I know you will too. Having an arsenal of ‘outs’ will help you build your skills with the Classic Force. You can’t go wrong adding this to your Classic Force knowledge base.”
–Paul Green

“Steven Keyl has produced a video that should be watched by every magician who uses the Classic Force, or who is in the process of learning it. The recording runs for just over one hour, and is jam-packed with excellent information. Even if you have been using the Classic Force for years, I wager you will find something that you hadn’t considered before. I certainly did. This is one of the most interesting and informative videos I have seen in a while.”
–Peter Duffie

“If you’re studying the Classic Force, watch Steve Keyl’s tutorial and learn what to do when things don’t go according to plan!”
–Lee Asher (CardStar)

“This is well worth the money for anyone lacking confidence in their CF. Some good outs provided for when you miss.”
–Sean Giles

“I watched this today, and for me it was very good value, and puts together a very useful batch of Classic Force recovery strategies. Those who are reasonably well read on card tricks will probably already know the ‘physical’ solutions that Steven Keyl offers for when the force misses, but I certainly hadn’t thought how they might serve in this situation. The sections on ‘psychological’ outs and on dealing with truculent spectators / participants are also worth listening to, he’s clearly put a lot of thought into how to approach various potential difficulties, and into refining what he wants to say in the video.”
