> Magicians use this effect I believe: They basically project a choice onto you.

Also great for kids. Bad: “It’s chilly. Do you want to wear a sweater?” Good: “It’s chilly. Do you want the blue or green sweater?”

But I think that’s different than the Forer/Barnum effect. That’s just choice curation.
