Clear Choice by Thinking Paradox Review (Fabulous 👏)

Professional magician Scott Perry delivers a detailed review of "Clear Choice" by Thinking Paradox, a clever mentalism tool designed to subtly control spectator choices. Scott is highly impressed by its deceptive simplicity and natural presentation, emphasizing that it creates a powerful illusion of free will while secretly allowing the performer to know the spectator's selection. The effect revolves around spectators writing down information on slips of paper, placing them in a glass, and then freely choosing one – unbeknownst to them, the choice is predetermined. Scott highlights the ease of performance, quick reset time, and minimal pocket space required, recommending a traditional performance setup for optimal results. While he acknowledges the price of £36 is a bit high, he believes the effect's organic feel and audience engagement justify the investment, drawing a parallel to his previous positive experience with Adrian Ulloa's *Ring to Shoelace*.
