PREFACE BY GUILLAUME BOTTA
INTRODUCTION
HISTORICAL
PSYCHOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES
I - THE PRINCIPLE Explanation of the basic principle using a simple, direct and commercial routine involving business cards!
II - ALPHABET COUNTING An alternative from a Portuguese magician friend, André Lopes, regarding the use of the principle that allows to avoid difficult cases.
III - REFLECTION OF LUCA VOLPE Luca Volpe, Italian mentalist magician, shares his thoughts on the basic principle here.
IV - BRAINWAVE EFFECT This routine is my personal version of the "Brainwave" effect by applying the principle of Invisible Choice. Simple, direct and effective!
V - THE RED PREDICTION A chosen card is found by the spectator in a shuffled deck. Finally, the chosen card turns out to be the only red card in the deck.
VI - PICKFORD BRAINWAVE This routine is the contribution of the English magician Paul Pickford who shares with us his personal version of the routine "IV - BRAINWAVE EFFECT".
VII - MENTAL OPENER Guillaume Botta gives us an experience that appeals to the spectator's imagination. A version of the invisible game revisited with a normal game!
VIII - SYMPATHETIC CHOICE The Sympathetic Cards effect is a classic of card magic. This routine is a simple version, using a normal deck of cards and the principle of Invisible Choice.
IX - THE INVISIBLE WHITE HOUSE The spectator finds his card alone, simply thought of and never stated. Finally, this card turns out to be the only printed card in the game.
X - BANK NIGHT EFFECT Enough cards, let's talk money! This Bank Night routine is entirely based on the principle of invisible dice and will be perfect for close-up situations, stages, parlors...
XI - INVISIBLE MIRACLE Money, always money! In this routine, the spectator himself composes the serial number of a bank note.A routine with multiple effects that Guillaume Botta shares with us.
XII - ONE SHOT PREDICTION A card simply announced out loud ends up in the magician's wallet.
XIII - CAREY'S PREDICTION John Carey, a renowned English magician and friend, immediately liked Invisible Choice and wanted to contribute to the project. This routine is the fruit of his thoughts!
XIV - THE LAST CORNER Inspired by Sylvain Mirouf's routine, "Le bon coin", a simply stated card turns out to be the one on the table, in view since the beginning of the routine.
XV - BOTTA'S PEEK SYSTEM Guillaume Botta presents the principle of Invisible Choice as a tool for gathering information. A new weapon that will pique your curiosity and delight your imagination.
XVI - MY POSTCARD BOOKTEST A somewhat unusual booktest routine that uses postcards as a medium and the information gathering system as a principle.
XVII - WHAT'S THE NAME? A routine around a first name chosen at random in the calendar, yet predicted from the beginning. This routine integrates a new principle!
XVIII - CROSSWORD CHOICE A commercial routine using scratch cards such as "Crosswords" in which you guess or predict the chosen word. Many applications are explained.
XIX - IN MY BAG Much more than a routine, a source of infinite reflection. A basic application is proposed but the principle of this routine will open many doors for you.
XX - THE PERFECT ACCOUNT Florian Weiss offers us a unique and commercial application of the Invisible Choice principle using credit card receipts. No doubt you will love it!
XXI - FAHRENHEIT 451 A booktest routine in which a page is selected and then torn into small pieces. The spectator chooses a word from one of the pieces of the page before burning them. The magician guesses the word thought of and the page is reassembled in its original position in the book.
