I own a trick called Free Will. It's pretty good. It's one of those where you can layout three items and predict which one the spectator will keep, place in a bag and hand over to the Magi.

I like the idea. I've seen other tricks on the web like:

Apple, Banana, Tomato
A spectator selects a card, then he gives you a card, then he decides whether he wants to keep the last card or take the card he gave you. When he's finished making all of his decisions, a prediction card is read. It reads, "I will have the apple, you will have the banana, and in the bag will be the tomato!"

I was wondering about the method. Is this method the same in these routines? Are different ways to predict these outcomes?

Thanks,

Well, unless there's some jiggery-pokery going on with high-tech gizmo's, then yes, the methods are identical...

What difference does it make? I've found Free Will lends itself to lots of different kinds of props -- even people. One stands over there, one stands in the bathroom and one goes in the closet (well, you get the idea.).

Just brought this back into strolling, still works fine:)

They also have a version... nicely made, edges are uncomfotably sharp though.

Doesn't make a huge difference t. willie, I was curious.
