The trick is no more difficult than if he asked someone their name then had that written on the balls, but that wouldnt stir up anywhere near as much interest for most people.
It's not really weird - Saying you can guess someone's name, and saying that you know how to predict the lottery (so you could win millions of pounds) are two very different claims.
I'd wager that the majority of the population have, at some point, wished they could predict the lottery. I doubt many people have wished they could guess their neighbour's middle name.
