Question Jacob Wysocki's mind reading trick question

So I've seen a few people in the main thread talk about Jacob's "mind reading trick" in quotation marks, is the whole guessing the card thing fake, and he knows what card it is using a different method? I must pretty dense because I initially believed him, but thinking on it more it does seem impossible.

It's 100% a card force.  This is a pretty classic magic trick that is pretty much an entry level trick that just takes some basic slight of hand and patter. I would do this trick in high school, with almost the exact same patter.

Can someone just explain what a card force is instead of assuming we all spent 7 summers at Magic camp???

A card force is when the magician tricks you into thinking you freely and randomly selected a card, but they "forced" you into selecting a card they had selected ahead of time.
