Circus performance
Sind die Ingredienzen im Umgang mit der Zauberkunst, die Spiel-
Karten, schwarzen und roten Samttücher, Ringe, Bälle, Äpfel, Tauben nach den
geheimen Anleitungen des Magiers Pilarski über das Voltieren, Forzieren, Palmieren
in Beziehung gesetzt oder jagen sich die magischen Gegenstände und Figuren nach
dem Plan seines tödlichen Konkurrenten Viktor Cagliostro über die Leinwand?
From a surreal film about a circus by Anna Samoylovich.
I think "forzieren" usually means "acceleration".
Can it mean a sleight of hand or part of a circus performance?

Selected
card forcing
A card force is one of any number of methods used in close-up magic to apparently offer a subject a free or random choice of card, when in fact the magician knows in advance exactly which card will be chosen. This can then be revealed later in the trick.
A large variety of card forces exist. Most are based on sleight of hand.
Many tricks using card forces are amongst the simplest tricks to perform, and the classic card trick of the magician divining which card a participant has selected is approaching hackneyed status. It is perhaps for this reason that card forces are among the tricks most frequently exposed by professional magicians. For example Penn and Teller have exposed several on television, and Paul Daniels included explanations of a large range of forces - including ones that he continued to use in TV and stage performances - in a children's card magic set published in the 1980s.

Forcieren
"Dem Wortstamm nach stammt Forcieren von Force und letztere wiederum bedeutet Kraft. Wenn ein Zauberer eine Forciertechnik einsetzt dann bringt er einen Zuschauer dazu sich für etwas Bestimmtes zu entscheiden. Wobei der Zuschauer eigentlich keine Wahl hat. Er denkt dies nur. In Wirklichkeit bekommt er die „Wahl“ vom Zauberer selbst aufgezwungen also forciert. Die verschiedenen Techniken sind allesamt darauf ausgelegt, dass der Zuschauer nichts davon bemerkt, dass er eigentlich gar keine freie Wahl hatte.
Forcen werden vornehmlich in den Bereich Mentalmagie und Zaubertricks mit Karten verwendet. Im Prinzip gehört das Forcieren mit zur Ablenkung, da der Zauberkünstler dabei über den Umstand ablenkt, dass der Zuschauer nicht frei wählt, sondern eine vorher durch denk Magie bestimmte Handlung vollzieht."

Palmieren
Manche Zauber bestimmten Kategorien zuordnen. Z.B. gehört zur Vorführung von Karten eine ganze Reihe von Standard-Manipulationstechniken zum Mischen, zum Verbergen von Karten innerhalb der Handfläche ("palmieren") usw. Ähnliche Repertoires an Techniken gibt es für die Münzzauberei zum Verbergen und Weitergeben von Münzen.

Definition: Palming is the process of secretly hiding an object in your hand. Often, the magician wants to make the hand appear as if it is empty and not holding anything.
Examples: After palming the coin, the magician made it look as if the coin had vanished.
