Choice Architecture

Choice architecture is the design of different ways in which choices can be presented to decision makers, and the impact of that presentation on decision-making. For example, each of the following: the number of choices presented[1]; the manner in which attributes are described[2]; the presence of a "default"[3][4] can influence consumer choice. As a result, advocates of libertarian paternalism and asymmetric paternalism have endorsed the deliberate design of choice architecture to nudge (nudging) consumers toward personally and socially desirable behaviors like saving for retirement, choosing healthier foods, or registering as an organ donor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choice_architecture

In stage magic, a Force is a method of controlling a choice made by a spectator during a trick.[1] Some forces are performed physically using sleight of hand, such as a trick where a spectator appears to select a random card from a deck but is instead handed a known card by the magician. Other forces use equivocation (or "the magician's choice") to create the illusion of a free decision in a situation where all choices lead to the same outcome. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forcing_(magic)
