The Name Matrix
Magician places cards numbered 1-25 on the table in 5 rows and in numerical order. A prediction card is placed face down on the table, or given to a spectator to hold. Making free choices, the spectator eliminates all but 5 of the cards. These are totaled, and the number matches the prediction! Then, as a kicker, the 5 cards are turned over, revealing that they spell the spectator’s name!
Powerful magic from the brilliant mind of Alan Wakeling! Easy to do! Presented with permission of Jim Steinmeyer.
Includes a bonus effect: The Magic Matrix! Same effect, but the 5 cards always spell the word MAGIC.
