Re: Force of a body part?
You can simply emphasize on the shoulders with tonality change and a mere shrug of your shoulders. You dont want to try to force the first choice or the last. Somewhere near the end is always good. PM me if you have anymore questions as far as details.

Re: Force of a body part?
hmm. Its difficult, since the parts you want to force are not extremities. Its natural to think arms, legs, head, and trunk. These bits stick out.
You could get rid of the trunk by saying I dont want you to think of any of the rude bits", gesturing over your upper and lower body. This then leaves them with the head, arms, and legs.
Maybe, just maybe you could plant eyes into their head by using the word Visualise. There being two hint words in one, Visual and eyes.

Re: Force of a body part?
There are several marketed effects, as well as effects in print, where body parts or "injuries" are predicted ahead of time. In the ones I have seen, they involve forces but generally not verbal forces.
Since you didn't specify (unless I missed it), I recommend checking them out. Maybe start with Mind, Myth, & Magick, I think there are some in there.

Re: Force of a body part?
Make up a set of business cards with a simple body outline on them.
Draw a small circle on whatever body part you want to force.
Show an unmarked card, discuss the body outline, etc. Give the spectator a pen and ask them to take the card behind their back and draw a small circle on it in some random place.
Before you hand the spectator the card, switch it for the premarked one.
The pen is dry and doesn't write.

Re: Force of a body part?
Cards seems a good idea as in Al Spackman's Voodoo. Originally in the Gen magazine then "The Art of Close Up Magic". And various dealers market it.
An early David Regal marketed effect for an injury was 'The Doctor is In" put out through Tannen.
But other than a force, it can be a limited choice so multiple outs are not 'out' of the question.
Another, more comical related approach may be Tyler Wilson's "Stick It To The Man" from the book "Dominatricks"
You could use an ancient idea of having people call out body parts and write them down on bits of paper for a random selection....but write down all the same.

"In a while, I would like you to *see* in your mind a part of you. It's important that this part of you is something you feel is essential. Maybe because you *feel* (make a fist at your heart) that you cannot live without it. Maybe because you use it everyday (clasp your hands together, fingers interlaced) even though they're small (open your palms out towards the person as though you're actually referring to the hands when you say small). *See* it in your mind (point at your eyes)... now. What have you chosen?"
Words between asterisks are meant to be emphasised with a stronger word stress than the other words.
I also avoided the word "body" because that tends to make people think of bigger limbs. See how this works for you. Say it fast but clear so there is no time to consciously think about your actions and words.
