Ultimate Free Choice by Alexander Hermann (the contemporary German magician, not the late French one from 1896) is a brilliantly simple routine that culminates in a shocking revelation, leaving your audience in awe. You begin by announcing that you have a prediction in your pocket, then spread a deck of cards face down and invite a participant to engage in what can be described as an “anti-card trick.” Instead of selecting a card they wish to keep, they choose a card they *wouldn’t* pick. This process continues, with the participant eliminating cards from the deck each time.

In the end, only one card remains. With your hands empty, you reveal the prediction card from your pocket, which astonishingly matches their selection. However, the audience’s reaction is unexpected—they notice extra cards in your pocket. This is true, but the twist is that all these cards also match their selection, creating a surprise that no one anticipates.

Renowned for his innovative approach to magic, Alexander Hermann, in collaboration with Vanishing Inc., has crafted a unique twist on the Open Prediction concept that is sure to become a staple in your performances. The unconventional theme adds an exciting layer, ensuring the surprising conclusion resonates deeply. You can witness the full effect in the performance trailer.

The method behind Ultimate Free Choice is clever, efficient, and easy to master, significantly reducing the lengthy processes typical of similar effects. In many instances, you won’t need to perform any equivoque, and when it is necessary, it’s completely undetectable. The presentation is designed to maintain the illusion of a completely free choice.

Ultimate Free Choice includes everything required to start performing with a red-backed Bicycle deck and can be adapted for any deck of cards. Additionally, a specially-designed envelope is provided, allowing for a more traditional Open Prediction ending if the pocket reveal isn’t your style. Comprehensive instructions ensure you’re ready to perform in no time!
