Oct 4, 2004 · Players choose cards during resolution, not announcement.

Apr 1, 2008 · The current player chooses first, then each other player chooses in turn order. A player does not have to reveal the chosen card, so long as it is clear *which* card was chosen. After all choices are made, the cards are put onto the battlefield simultaneously.
