David Garrard and Jim Steinmeyer Present: Alan Wakeling's Name Matrix

Turn a spectator’s name into the surprise ending of a prediction routine with Alan Wakeling’s Name Matrix, presented by David Garrard and Jim Steinmeyer. The audience makes free choices, and the cards left at the end spell the spectator’s name.

• Clear table layout: Place cards numbered 1–25 in five rows, in numerical order.
• Prediction reveal: A prediction card is set aside or held by a spectator, and the total of the five remaining cards matches it.
• Personalized kicker: Turn over the five remaining cards to reveal the spectator’s name.
• Bonus effect: The New Matrix follows the same effect, with the five cards spelling “MAGIC.”

The routine builds from a prediction match to a name reveal, giving you two distinct endings to share with an audience.
