Invisible Choice is a revolutionary book in the field of magic and mentalism, crafted by Thomas Riboulet. This book introduces an innovative concept that allows magicians to seemingly offer their spectators total freedom while secretly guiding them to a predetermined outcome.

The book explores psychological manipulation, audience perception, and mentalism techniques, all centered around the Invisible Choice principle. This method enables magicians to perform impossible predictions, mind-reading effects, and powerful card routines with minimal sleight of hand.
