- I wanted to have all the words and cards examinable, unlike other effects where a few seconds of
inspection leaves the method blatantly obvious. I
also wanted to use only words and not phrases.
- No fishing for the word or number at which the
word is located.
- It needed to be a strict & pure word association
game - somebody thinks of a word, then the next
person thinks of a word that can be associated with
it. Not a word that rhymes with it or starts with the
third letter or anything that can compromise this
point.

CARDS ACROSS
The two prepared cards are ready and waiting in an
easily obtainable place. While one of the participants gathers all the other cards and mixes them,
you secure them in a palmed position. When he is
done mixing, he gives the cards back to you and you
start handing them out one by one to each person.
As you get the mixed cards back, you place the two
palmed cards on top of the stack, with the FORCE
CARD on top. You now start handing out the cards
from the end of the line, meaning the last person in
line receives the FORCE CARD, the person next to
him gets the PRIMING CARD, the person next to him
receives a random card that was written on earlier,
and so forth. As you get to the first person in line,
you simply hand him a card and keep the remaining
two cards hidden in your palm. They are easily
ditched in the pocket as you remove a pen or the
like.
For a more detailed description on exactly how to
perform the Cards Across refer to The Royal Road
to Card Magic by Hugard and Braue.
The effect of this procedure is that while everyone
else has a card with random words on, the last two
people in the line are each holding a specially
prepared card.

WORDING
Preparing a proper script for the presentation of this
effect is quite necessary. As you go from person to
person, you will be giving them subtle instructions
that will ensure a successful conclusion.
Instead of asking them to associate a word with the
one they just heard, they are told to associate
SOMETHING with the word they just heard.
It plays a crucial role, as you want them to
think of a physical object and not just a word.
On the final card held by the last spectator, there
are only two real objects listed - the other eight are
abstract words. These two words are our force
words.
Limiting their choice to an actual object ensures that
the final person chooses either of the force words,
and doesnt make some weird association in his
head.
