Alexander Hermann – Ultimate Free Choice ( Instant Download )
“Ultimate Free Choice” by Alexander Hermann (the living German one, not the French one that died in 1896) is a deceptively simple routine with a punchy and surprising ending that will leave them stunned.
After informing your audience that you have a prediction in your pocket, you spread the deck face down and invite someone to participate in what could be best described as an “anti-card trick.” Instead of selecting a card they want to keep, they choose a card they *wouldn’* pick. This process is repeated several times, with the participant eliminating a portion of the deck each time.
Ultimately, only one card remains. With empty hands, you then reach into your pocket and reveal the prediction card. It perfectly matches their selection.
Yet nobody reacts the way you expected. It seems they all noticed that you had extra cards in your pocket.
This is true. You did have extra cards. But, as a surprising twist they’ll never see coming, you reveal that all of these cards match too.
Known for his creative and thoughtful approach to magic, Alexander Hermann and . have developed a fun and unique twist on the Open Prediction plot that is guaranteed to become a permanent part of your repertoire. The seemingly counterintuitive theming of this effect adds an exciting twist and ensures the surprising ending hits hard. You can see for yourself in the full performance featured in the trailer.
You’re going to love how clever, efficient, and easy to do the method for “Ultimate Free Choice” is. It significantly minimizes the drawn-out procedures often associated with similar effects. In some cases, you won’t even need to do a single step of equivoque. When a small amount of equivoque is needed though, it is completely undetectable. The presentation has been carefully crafted to ensure it still feels like a totally free choice.
“Ultimate Free Choice” comes with everything you need to start performing with a red-backed Bicycle deck, and can even be modified to work with any deck of cards. You’ll also receive a specially-made envelope that enables you to perform a more traditional Open Prediction style ending if you’re not a fan of the pocket fakeout version. Everything is covered in the detailed instructions that will have you ready to perform in no time!
