I replied to this elsewhere on this page, but happy to explain again. The guy host was not the regular host and informed me he was a magician, moments before we went to air. I feared he was going to open the deck and do a card for me and it would spoil the ending of the effect. Yup, I did kinda grab them back fast, but I got the gut feeling he was about to open them... I was probably way too concerned as he turned out to be a cool guy.
nik jey, I quickly took back the cards because the gentleman was a guest host who told me just before the show started that he used to do magic and I was afrain he was going to open the deck and that would ruin the cool finish. There's no slit of the side as you can clearly see on the P&T video (clue from penn teller) :-)
That's gotta be one of the most unenthusiastic reactions to a magic trick ever... :v The cardbox trick is extremely mind blowing and even Penn got a "oh shit what the hell just happened?!" reaction to it, and these guys are just like "oh, that's nice."
+Monsieur Paburu, to their defense, Patrick and Fiona have seen me many times and expect me to do the impossible, so the "Oh that's nice" reaction is expected... ;-) I love these two hosts
he already addressed that in the comments -> " I quickly took back the cards because the gentleman was a guest host who told me just before the show started that he used to do magic and I was afrain he was going to open the deck and that would ruin the cool finish.

I watched every episode of Fool Us, and kept replaying yours. Following magic since grade school and doing a few minor amateur performances myself, I have a good grasp on how a lot of magic is performed, but you absolutely give me that "Wow" effect every time I watch that trick, as I get with a lot of stuff I've seen you do. I get a better understanding of it watching it here, but still, WOW. You are by far the best magician I've seen. So I just wanted to say thanks fooling me again and again.
Great performance Shawn. Sometimes people talk too much during a trick and they miss things or they think there's an on-off switch to the trick. It's annoying. These people remind of couples I meet at parties and they sometimes miss things. But you moved well through the trick, kept their attention.
I think that I know you did it. Just before you took back his signed card, you made a deal with a demon or the devil or something, and they gave you crazy powers! Not sure on the specifics, but if you watch closely you can see the moment that it happens
Hey Shawn, I've seen a few tricks of yours but no matter how much I research, I always find one or two that I've never seen before. Could you name a few of your tricks that I should absolutely see? Some of your favourite ones that you enjoy performing possibly?
Yay! I think I figured out how you did the "rip the photo apart" but I don't want to reveal it but yet I want to ask you if what I think was correct! What should I do?
This is amazing Shawn! I saw your trick on Pen and Teller and Ive been gobsmacked ever since. You are an inspiration to all young magicians/card trickers (trickers.. is that right?) our there! Keep it up mate :D
ahhh after watchin this trick done on other vids, i couldnt see how u do it. but after watching this video twice, i finally clicked how u did it. took me long enough lol nicely done
Your ability to amaze people is fantastic. Hard to find something like this in recent years. Sorry for my english, i'm from Argentina. By the way, is there a possibility of you performing here someday?
your version of Shape of my heart is the reason I'm practice my cards skills that hard... I'm a beginner magician and I would love to hear your recommend for some cards videos for beginners full of hope to get an answer Omer
@ShawnFarquhar Ur such an outgoing cheesey joke fun creative magician. Having all that combined is rare. I enjoyed you and Michael Vincent more that anyone on pen and tellers show. You make magic fun like doug Henning did. Beautiful magic, you wrap up ur influences it seems into one and out comes u shawny....amazing trickery man amazing :)) I LOVE MAGIK MYSELF.
Serach shape of my heart an amazing trick, and shawn im a 13 yr old card magician well i call myself a magician I have some of this trick figured out, but i dont have near as good sleight of hand as you. Do you have any pointers.
Hi Anuk Shanen, not sure why you didn't just replay the video to hear his full name, but hey, I said on the video, Mark Oberon... you can find his stuff on the web and youtube, including his appearance on the hit TV show Fool Us...
Shawn Farquhar, I have to confess that this card trick is one of the best card trick that I've ever seen. And I really like the way you perform it. When do you think you will released the tut cd of this card trick?
Hey MrTuncay17, No worries, I don't take myself to seriously so it's hard to disrespect me, lol. Yes, I repeat effects often, because they are good for TV. Check out the Steven & Chris appearance for some other stuff.
i love your stuff, and i mean no disrespect, but ive watched 3 videos so far, and all have been the same trick, a great trick at that, but i want to see something different, which on of your videos can i click on to see another trick?? (and once again, no disrespect intended)
Shaun you are the kind of guy that I'd like to spend a few hours in a room just chatting with about magic. I know it's probably been something you've been around your whole life and I can tell in your professionalism. I don't really know anyone who is big into magic so whenever I'm out at a restaurant or a bus stop showing people tricks it blows there mind and people who have seen me perform that see me again are always like "hey that's that guy that made my card fly out of the deck and hit me in the face". That was one time and I didn't mean to hit that guy in the face lol. But there are just questions that I'd like to ask you if you ever aren't too busy winning championships that I can only dream of attending or even competing in. Also I have a big theory about the first trick in this video. I have been able to pull if the same effect this way. Would like to compare notes if at all possible. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
hm... ok that is true. But what I can see is that at the end you hold the photograph up with only 2 fingers, like when holding up a coin. And I was told by a magician once that when magicians do that, they usually hide something in the 3rd, 4th and 5th fingers :D well I will certainly try to figure it out!
This trick is readily revealed on how to do on youtube. The quickness of hand is the hard part but the setup requires an exacto knife and a lil hot glue. The bottom of the cellophane is tampered with and that is how the card is slid in and it looks like a brand new deck. Cool effect but once you know how its no big deal.
Hi sinekonata, actually there is no slit, watch the Penn & Teller fool us version and see him examine it fully. The guy host was not the regular host and informed me he was a magician, moments before we went to air. I feared he was going to open the deck and do a card for me and it would spoil the ending of the effect. Yup, I did kinda grab them back fast, but I got the gut feeling he was about to open them... I was probably way too concerned as he turned out to be a cool guy.
I NEED HELP. i want to do a trick where i can let a person pick any card and put it any where in the deck and me be able to control it where ever i want. i need to be able to do this because a am around a lot of people who question what i do if i as them to stick it on top or a cut down and ask them to place it there they say well why cant i put it where i want. Pleas pleas respond thank you.
Yeah adamei77777, that's a big nope. I don't use any hot glue and at the end of every performance the person takes home the cards and box as a souvenir... But like you said it's no big deal... whatever. Thanks for taking the time to comment on the video anyways.
When he checks for the slit in the box, He takes the cards back real quick. I'm not sure that has to do with anything. But a magician my self I am wondering. But his over all performance is just brillant close up mastery.
I still have absolutely no idea how the trick is done, and it's still possibly the most amazing one I've ever seen, but he didn't seem to want that guy to inspect the box too long after he resealed it. I wonder if there's a reason or if he just didn't want to take too long.
i think i figured out the card trick. shawn did the card trick on all the videos and i see a clues in every video. I think he already knew which card he is going to choose (clue from the ellen video). He got another deck and he switched the deck when he was trying to get the pen (clue from pen teller) with the joker on top of the card. Then he put the card back in deck with a slit of the side. Thats why he quickly took the deck back when the guy wants to check it.(clue from this vid)
I think you did reply to it before :p I sorta meant it in a joking way because he seemed a bit too eager. I keep seeing people posing comments saying "I know how you did it," and "I saw what you did" I hope I didn't come off in that way. It must be frustrating seeing those comments on your videos. You are one of my favorite magicians and one of the reasons I started doing magic. If I may ask, what is the trick you are most proud of creating?
I used to have name and then someone used it too, so the new name is not released yet. Gonna keep it to myself until then, sorry. You can see it also on the Ellen show and Penn & Teller video's on this channel...
wow did you painstakingly locate the S and S package and do a D switch with gafted J on top when u get the card back u use the open end to drop the sign in. I wonder though if its a free selection or a force of will magic card? I wouldn't put it pass you to force granted your Lv70 warlock status. BTW lol im not that good I just enjoy the technical aspect of card tricks and practice to entertain my wife and myself lol. Ty for letting us watch a master in action not many vernon vids out in the ether so I am happy that todays masters are filmed such as urself.
Gamescare, I guess commenting twice is better than never... lol. It's all cool and yeah they do sometimes frustrate me, but I totally get it. I love my cups and balls the most and have kept it off RUclips and video for that matter for years...
I think i figured out torn 2 pieces! Because when he lets the Person sign the photograph, it is already folded! so he just had to Switch the original photo to the prepared one that he Shows in the end!
No we really didn't ^_^ but it's still an enjoyable act. I would be more concerned about the minute 4:31 when something could have really gone wrong...you played it perfect with Penn tho
Urban Rush is an appropriate name... That whole segment looked like it was in fast forward. ...and it sucks when you pull off a badass trick and having some chick immediately be like, "Do more!" Are you not entertained??
wow this is an amazing trick. Maybe you should stay away from youtube comments shawn as there seems to be a bunch of people who want to try and assume they know it all due to the fact that they are in denial that they have no explanation. I hate to see you get aggravated over internet trolls.
isn't the seal on the deck somewhat irrelevent as shawn opens the box himself... the box itself and the cellophane are different........ very impressive trick
some people have weird reactions to magic haha "omg that's really weird.....that's really weird" I'm like "HOLY SHIT THATS' INSANE!!!!" BWAHAHA *bows down* they're dumb struck by your talent
Apparently flies can't blink, and has many eyes which see in slow motion..... So there's definitely another species on this planet that knows "how he got the GOD DAMN CARD INTO, THE GOD THE GOD DAMN BOX.....lol.... But at 3.28, anyone hear a reseal??
I replied to this elsewhere on this page, but happy to explain again. The guy host was not the regular host and informed me he was a magician, moments before we went to air.

"I'm not a muggle."
As if you weren't already my favorite magician.
nik jey, I quickly took back the cards because the gentleman was a guest host who told me just before the show started that he used to do magic and I was afrain he was going to open the deck and that would ruin the cool finish. There's no slit of the side as you can clearly see on the P&T video (clue from penn teller) :-)
Gotta love how this guy actually responds to his fans. Just seems like a genuinely nice dude.
That's gotta be one of the most unenthusiastic reactions to a magic trick ever... :v
The cardbox trick is extremely mind blowing and even Penn got a "oh shit what the hell just happened?!" reaction to it, and these guys are just like "oh, that's nice."
+Monsieur Paburu, to their defense, Patrick and Fiona have seen me many times and expect me to do the impossible, so the "Oh that's nice" reaction is expected... ;-) I love these two hosts
You were quick to take that deck of cards back from Patrick. ;)
he already addressed that in the comments ->

I just love your energy and personality! Perfect for magic! :)
I love your magic and I love your witty responses to people that think because they have the internet, they know magic. You're awesome.
shawn if u only knew, how much u amaze me, and thousands of others, but watching u ur my idol.
Great Job Shawn! Fellow magician from Calgary Canada! Cheers man.
Great performance Shawn. Sometimes people talk too much during a trick and they miss things or they think there's an on-off switch to the trick. It's annoying. These people remind of couples I meet at parties and they sometimes miss things. But you moved well through the trick, kept their attention.
I think that I know you did it. Just before you took back his signed card, you made a deal with a demon or the devil or something, and they gave you crazy powers! Not sure on the specifics, but if you watch closely you can see the moment that it happens
Best theory so far
Diamonds are easy to see on a TV show. The black ink on red. I do the effect with other suits too... just seems on TV I have used diamonds.
Hey Shawn, I've seen a few tricks of yours but no matter how much I research, I always find one or two that I've never seen before. Could you name a few of your tricks that I should absolutely see? Some of your favourite ones that you enjoy performing possibly?
Dude, you are absolutely amazing! Any gigs in the uk planned in the future?! i want to see you live!
Hi JayTie1, the trick is sold commercially on my website and at all fine magic shops. It is called Torn 2 Pieces.
I hope to see you perform it some day!
Yay! I think I figured out how you did the "rip the photo apart" but I don't want to reveal it but yet I want to ask you if what I think was correct! What should I do?
Shawn you are my favorite magican
Watched the Penn and Teller show and this trick fooled them, so cool.
This is amazing Shawn! I saw your trick on Pen and Teller and Ive been gobsmacked ever since. You are an inspiration to all young magicians/card trickers (trickers.. is that right?) our there! Keep it up mate :D
ITS MY JOB
I just love to see your videos.
ahhh after watchin this trick done on other vids, i couldnt see how u do it. but after watching this video twice, i finally clicked how u did it. took me long enough lol nicely done
Is there something about where the diamonds are in a new deck order that makes it so appealing to force or do you just like diamonds?
big papa ALMOST ruined it. very professional of you to stop him and "change the subject" RESPECT man. you need more subscribers.
Your ability to amaze people is fantastic. Hard to find something like this in recent years. Sorry for my english, i'm from Argentina. By the way, is there a possibility of you performing here someday?
your version of Shape of my heart is the reason I'm practice my cards skills that hard...

@ShawnFarquhar Ur such an outgoing cheesey joke fun creative magician. Having all that combined is rare. I enjoyed you and Michael Vincent more that anyone on pen and tellers show. You make magic fun like doug Henning did. Beautiful magic, you wrap up ur influences it seems into one and out comes u shawny....amazing trickery man amazing :)) I LOVE MAGIK MYSELF.
Such a beautiful effect. Trying to figure it out on my own as I hope to do magic at least as a hobby, but damn it's mind-boggling.
Serach shape of my heart an amazing trick, and shawn im a 13 yr old card magician well i call myself a magician I have some of this trick figured out, but i dont have near as good sleight of hand as you. Do you have any pointers.
4:25 "Can i check the deck" - "Sure, you got 2 seconds"... ;)
Even Penn had more time to watch the deck :)
I like the "back in New Deck Order" trick. Seen it before in the "Ellen"-Vid. Great Job.
Hi Anuk Shanen, not sure why you didn't just replay the video to hear his full name, but hey, I said on the video, Mark Oberon... you can find his stuff on the web and youtube, including his appearance on the hit TV show Fool Us...
have you ever been to Japan>?? It would be awesome to see u perform here.!!
Hey JayTie1, you did see once it's signed that I unfold it to show it is still the same image before I tear, right? you did see that...
Shawn Farquhar, I have to confess that this card trick is one of the best card trick that I've ever seen. And I really like the way you perform it. When do you think you will released the tut cd of this card trick?
Hi Testhinker, Thanks for the nice compliment.
Hey MrTuncay17, No worries, I don't take myself to seriously so it's hard to disrespect me, lol. Yes, I repeat effects often, because they are good for TV. Check out the Steven & Chris appearance for some other stuff.

The trick that fooled Penn & Teller (the first time). No idea how you did it. I just know you did it exceptionally well.
Shaun you are the kind of guy that I'd like to spend a few hours in a room just chatting with about magic. I know it's probably been something you've been around your whole life and I can tell in your professionalism. I don't really know anyone who is big into magic so whenever I'm out at a restaurant or a bus stop showing people tricks it blows there mind and people who have seen me perform that see me again are always like "hey that's that guy that made my card fly out of the deck and hit me in the face".

Hi TheRaineMusic,
Yes the torn photo is my original idea and is marketed now as Torn 2 Pieces. Available at all great magic shops... lol
Hey Shawn, been watching your stuff, ever planning to come to Hawaii?
Hey Shawn did you ever market the first trick you did to them the sealing one????
then how does he get the signature card inside the setup deck?
Hi sinekonata, actually there is no slit, watch the Penn & Teller fool us version and see him examine it fully. The guy host was not the regular host and informed me he was a magician, moments before we went to air. I feared he was going to open the deck and do a card for me and it would spoil the ending of the effect. Yup, I did kinda grab them back fast, but I got the gut feeling he was about to open them...

Pleas pleas respond thank you.
It would be so damn awesome to be able to do this
ahh.. Thats great. im not Japanese btw... lol If eva come again, please do tell me! i would love to see ur Performance
Yeah adamei77777, that's a big nope. I don't use any hot glue and at the end of every performance the person takes home the cards and box as a souvenir... But like you said it's no big deal... whatever. Thanks for taking the time to comment on the video anyways.
4:32 lol Shawn realized he was in trouble and quickly grabbed the box of cards😂
I know as to do similar focus but I don't understand as you made! ! !
When he checks for the slit in the box, He takes the cards back real quick. I'm not sure that has to do with anything. But a magician my self I am wondering. But his over all performance is just brillant close up mastery.
Hey what was the name of the other magician u mentioned in da show??mark (something) ??
Shawn where to find the name of this focus or training?
I just can repeat myself...you gave my life a sence....I wanna know how this trick completly works :D
I still have absolutely no idea how the trick is done, and it's still possibly the most amazing one I've ever seen, but he didn't seem to want that guy to inspect the box too long after he resealed it. I wonder if there's a reason or if he just didn't want to take too long.
he does the same trick on Penn and Teller's Fool Us.
"Don't do magic...be the magic" ;)
WHAT IS THE NAME TRICK AND DO YOU HAVE ANY PLAN TO RELEASE IT? THANX.
Thanks for noticing Conor Carroll, I try to reply and stay connected to the folks that take the time to communicate with me... seems only fair.
it's his job
i think i figured out the card trick. shawn did the card trick on all the videos and i see a clues in every video. I think he already knew which card he is going to choose (clue from the ellen video). He got another deck and he switched the deck when he was trying to get the pen (clue from pen teller) with the joker on top of the card. Then he put the card back in deck with a slit of the side.

I used to have name and then someone used it too, so the new name is not released yet. Gonna keep it to myself until then, sorry. You can see it also on the Ellen show and Penn & Teller video's on this channel...
He always takes out the joker. I think there is magic power in that joker.
daamn. Shawn did you create that too?
Yes, way back in the late 90's...
That's insane...
wow did you painstakingly locate the S and S package and do a D switch with gafted J on top when u get the card back u use the open end to drop the sign in. I wonder though if its a free selection or a force of will magic card? I wouldn't put it pass you to force granted your Lv70 warlock status. BTW lol im not that good I just enjoy the technical aspect of card tricks and practice to entertain my wife and myself lol. Ty for letting us watch a master in action not many vernon vids out in the ether so I am happy that todays masters are filmed such as urself.
Damn, you're awesome! You have to visit Poland one day.
The presenters looked pretty pissed they had been fooled by some amazing magic haha owned.
If i ever met you, i would die. you're my idol.
good trick shawn.
I always see him doing this trick.
LOL THAT HOST IS SO FUNNY every single thing that he did or came out of his mouth ololol
Didn't you also win the 2008 card magic Olympics?
The trick that was good enough to fool Penn & Teller is just another card trick to these two.
He sure took those cards back quickly after the guy wanted to check them for himself.
The host was a magician and I was kinda concerned he was going to do a trick with them... seriously!
I have written a whole bunch of blogs with pointers, advice, etc. Visit the blog section of my website: magichampion(dot)com Cheers,
-shawn
Gamescare, I guess commenting twice is better than never... lol. It's all cool and yeah they do sometimes frustrate me, but I totally get it. I love my cups and balls the most and have kept it off RUclips and video for that matter for years...
Cool
its my job .. :) u bet it is , and u do it very well . keep up the good work and the smile.
Don't run if they aren't chasing you, Shawn! :P
That can't be true. It's not slid in the bottom. If it was, the deck would be blue at the top at 3:28. But it's white.
the first one was the trick that penn and teller got fooled,right???
You know how he gets the signed card in the sealed box, its the only one that I've seen him do that I cant replicate :/
I bet he really does sign all of his checks “Big Papa”
What I love the most about you shawn is that when you went on fool us you did actual sleight of hand not some stupid self working mentalisim crap!!
DO YOU MIND IF I JUST CHECK :DD
Omg I just figured out how you did the torn to pieces one! That's such a cool trick! Is that your own effect?
I think i figured out torn 2 pieces! Because when he lets the Person sign the photograph, it is already folded! so he just had to Switch the original photo to the prepared one that he Shows in the end!
No we really didn't ^_^ but it's still an enjoyable act. I would be more concerned about the minute 4:31 when something could have really gone wrong...you played it perfect with Penn tho
Urban Rush is an appropriate name... That whole segment looked like it was in fast forward.
...and it sucks when you pull off a badass trick and having some chick immediately be like, "Do more!" Are you not entertained??
wow this is an amazing trick. Maybe you should stay away from youtube comments shawn as there seems to be a bunch of people who want to try and assume they know it all due to the fact that they are in denial that they have no explanation. I hate to see you get aggravated over internet trolls.
4:15 He says: "Look at that its a brand new deck of cards" I say: "Stop at that second and look closely - it is already opened old deck of cards"
isn't the seal on the deck somewhat irrelevent as shawn opens the box himself... the box itself and the cellophane are different........ very impressive trick
some people have weird reactions to magic haha "omg that's really weird.....that's really weird"
I'm like "HOLY SHIT THATS' INSANE!!!!" BWAHAHA
*bows down*
they're dumb struck by your talent
Apparently flies can't blink, and has many eyes which see in slow motion..... So there's definitely another species on this planet that knows "how he got the GOD DAMN CARD INTO, THE GOD THE GOD DAMN BOX.....lol.... But at 3.28, anyone hear a reseal??
i don't understand the comments about lack of host enthusiasm. they both squeal when they see the original card in sealed deck......
