    I remember working on a cruise ship when shawn was onboard for a while. He wasn't as 'nerdy' as this when he was at the bar, he was a very cool personable dude. I remmeber one night he was performing, he discovered that there was a little girl who loved magicians but she missed his only show that week cos she was sick in her cabin. After the show, shawn went up to her cabin and performed a load of magic tricks in the door way to her cabin and gave her some magic cards n stuff. Legend!

AndrewOmega mentions "flap was obviously flap card", which is also incorrect. Penn made reference to winged mythical creature, which was to cite the Pegasus Page effect, but that was way off base as well. Even the pocket reference was off as I had a better way to "top it" if you get my meaning. ;-)

    Excellent performance, Shawn! To address an earlier posted question ... I have attended the live Fool Us performances (only as an audience member .. don't be overly impressed) ... and the time P&T have to discuss the effect is barely edited, sometimes not at all. They walk on stage and take their seats, and what you see on the televised version is pretty tight with the in-person experience. We are coached when to applaud, and very short set-up breaks are taken between each act to prep the stage and requirements for the next performance. Sometimes a re-do is needed for the filming of the introductions, and the audience volunteer selection is done immediately prior to each respective act. The choices seemed very fair and random, but participants are taken back stage and given some instructions .... this is never shown on the televised version. When we attended the Merry Fool Us filming, several audience members were escorted behind the scenes and returned with festive, holiday sweaters. They were then "picked at random" from our audience, but this was accepted as fair by the audience since they were just some regular fans that volunteered and were chosen moments ago. I recommend the audience experience to everyone, so do not miss the opportunity if it ever presents itself to you.

      ​@@ShawnFarquhar I simply adore your style of performance. Just on Fool Us I have seen plenty of grand illusions, performed by over the top characters and yet I find myself occasionally coming back and rewatching you giggling to yourself while you fool Alyson first and Penn and Teller second.
      Come to think of it, this might be the only performance I have seen where Penn and Teller were fooled at the exact same time the audience was.
      It truly is inspiring how you manage to turn the big stage into a small, comfy living room, while performing amazing tricks that don't need any spectacle to be entertaining. This is real magic to me ❤️

    The three top cards that were "randomly" selected and were the core of the whole trick, were put there after the trade. As you can see in 2:19, he grabs them from the inside of his jacket and gently places them there. When you know these cards, the rest of the trick is pretty easy to explain. (as much as I want to believe in magic, there was no chance that the second or third card were figures, like jack or whatever, because no page number has figures:P, so the trick should start from the selection of the cards)

      Only the 8 and 5 had to be forced. He could make whatever card Allison picked move to the book, and he could place the book page in whichever spot in deck order it had to be to replace that card. (If he'd turned that deck around, we'd've seen the jack of diamonds still in new deck order, next to the book page he'd just placed there.) But the book page had to be forced, and for that he needed to force the 8 and 5.

    I'm really sad you didn't fool them for the third time. Your magic is one of the best I've ever seen, out of all performers, you were the one, who really deserved that flawlessness, and still does deserve that 3rd trophy.

    I know how you did it but i have the advantage of a video, definitely would have been fooled live. Well done sir.

    I just seen his show with my wife today for her birthday and it was amazing 👏 he's such a great magician and the show is perfect for this time ... its completely covid safe thanks to his precautions and the best part he includes everyone there its a very small crowd which makes it even more special if your ever in New Westminister BC go to the show it is the most fun you will have outside the bedroom lol 😆 😉

      Best quote ever! "...it is the most fun you will have outside the bedroom." If you happen to be on TripAdvisor I beg you to consider repeating it in a review! I'm happy you came to see Hidden Wonders in person and thrilled you celebrated your Wife's birthday with us. Stay safe. -shawn

    Went to a magic convention a few years ago, Shawn Farqhar was there. Just a totally nice, laid-back guy, polite and cheerful with everyone the whole three days or so. Good for him to have this success.

      Thanks, I miss going to magic conventions and can't wait for Covid to be under control and we can all hang again.
