Proceed in this way: have two boxes marked (a small dot, a small cut, whatsoever), have them opened by the audience member, the contents examined, then put back again in the boxes. Look at the mark of the box that contains the item to be forced, then proceed as Ricardo told.

You can have just one box marked, but this means you have to give the spectator THAT box (in the other way, he can put the items in the boxes he wishes).

About the force: ask him to take one box. If it's the right one, you're done. Otherwise, say: "Ok, give me that box, and take another one". If the one he takes does not contains the item, have the box returned to you and drop the two boxes saying: "Ok, you've eliminated these two...".

If he takes the box with the forced item, drop the box you have in your hand on the table, scooping the other one, and saying, again, "Well, you've elimated these two...".

Keep in mind that the spectator usually choses the middle among three objects, if he's facing them; the nearest to him if he's on one side of the line of the three objiect, the farthest if the spectator is a woman.

I suggest you to read the older books by Max Maven, where he teaches how to do succesfully and in clever way the "magician's choice".

Bye!!
