| Note, the form of this manuscript was produced about 2002. This note is being written, |
| July, 2015. The goal in 2002 was to capture the state of Matrix about that time. Since |
| then, the Matrix universe has been inundated with weird versions of Matrix. Thus, this |
| document does not reflect the odd twists and turns the trick called Matrix has been |
| subjected to since that time. Essentially, this document does not reflect the |
| abominations called Matrix. The original, as presented in this work, is still the best at |
| presenting a magical experience for a nonprofessional audience. The "improvements" |
| of the original reflect the brilliant juggling techniques of those that claim said |
| improvements of the original. Yes, they often produce a reaction from the audience but |
| at the cost of the audience's joy of seeing stunning magic. With that, we continue with |
| words written about 2002. |
| Here is about the sixth or seventh attempt at explaining Matrix. I invented Matrix in |
| 1960 just after I graduated from High School. Since then I have printed several |
| manuscripts and booklets on this trick alone. Since the beginning, the trick has |
| changed a bit and with each new publication, the way it is presented has changed. I |
| also have taught the trick personally to many people. |
