This effect has an innovative twist on the traditional Free Will plot, where the spectator makes all the choices. Yet, your prediction aligns perfectly with their selections, a feat achieved using only one prediction. This new approach utilizes a combination of psychological techniques and physical methods, all designed to maximize the chances of achieving the most deceptive and cleanest outcome possible. This effect serves as a fantastic opener, making it a suitable addition to your Everyday Carry (EDC), and best of all, it resets automatically. There are no complex flowcharts to memorize, making it an incredibly easy routine to perform. If your goal is to leave your spectators genuinely believing in your ability to predict the future, then this is the effect that will help you accomplish just that.

★★★★★ Date Added: Monday 24 June, 2024The first person I saw use everyday objects for this was Charles Reynolds, Doug Henning's consultant. Not the dealer item, which used wooden discs with symbols which were marked adding an extra layer of deception. I also heard that it was in Greater Magic. Anyway, this version has a clever handling which favors which item gets left behind during the first choices, and some interesting switches at the end where the spectator can exchange the positions of various items.
I have written about this trick several times in my newsletters, but this one is not a bad way to learn the trick. I even came up with a stage version called Freed Will which uses 3 young ladies and a chair and a spectator does the choosing and holds the prediction about who will sit in the chair and who will hold your hand and who will hold the spectator's hand. The chair takes the place of a little box used in Charles Reynolds' version.
I think the objects used are open to more variation. Charles used a little ivory skull, a die, and an unusual old and foreign coin. Why not learn this trick, but feel free to experiment with various items.
