Ultimate Free Choice by Alexander Hermann

Give your audience an unusual card challenge: instead of choosing a card to keep, a participant repeatedly eliminates cards until only one remains. Alexander Hermann’s Ultimate Free Choice ends with your pocket prediction matching their card—and a surprising reveal involving the other cards in your pocket.

This fresh take on the Open Prediction plot keeps the presentation focused and avoids the drawn-out procedures often associated with similar effects. The participant’s choices feel central to the unfolding surprise.

• Unexpected premise: The participant chooses cards they would not pick, turning a familiar card trick plot on its head.
• Surprise ending: After the prediction matches the final card, the other cards in your pocket add another twist.
• Streamlined routine: The handling is designed to minimize lengthy procedures.
• Ready to perform: The set includes what you need to begin with a red-backed Bicycle deck, plus detailed instructions.
• Alternative ending: A specially made envelope lets you perform a more traditional Open Prediction finish.
• Deck flexibility: You can modify the routine to work with any deck of cards.

Use it for close-up performances when you want a card prediction with a playful premise and a final reveal that gives the audience one more reason to look twice.
