Can you manipulate fate?! A mind-bending game where they simply cannot win.

Five strings extend from an envelope, but only one string is attached to the winning bell at the bottom. Have your spectator choose four of the strings, and the last string remains for you. Pull up each of the selected strings and show that they are all loose strings—none of them are attached to the winning bell. The single string they left for you is the winner! Every choice is made voluntarily by the spectator. Even if they decide to switch strings halfway through, they still can’t find the winning string.

Everyone is fascinated by the concept of fate, and that is clearly the theme of this mind-bending magic trick!
