Transform Your Card Magic with Ian Kendall’s Classic Force Masterclass

“Before Ian showed me his method for the Classic Force, I thought I knew everything there was to know about it, but I was wrong! After a late night lesson from Ian at The Session Convention, I discovered a true revelation.” – Nathan Jones

You smile at the groom and attempt a riffle force, a backslip, or another technique that diverges from your previous methods. Suddenly, you wake up in a cold sweat from a nightmare.
