Global TV Interview of Shawn Farquhar by Jay Durant - This is BC
Jay Durant is the host of This is BC, which profiles unique British Columbians who have an amazing story to tell. An Ontario native, Jay’s first broadcast job was with CTV in Toronto. From there, he made a quick stopover in Lethbridge before joining ITV (now Global Edmonton) as the weekend sports anchor.
A former football and rugby player, he is a member of the BC Sports Hall of Fame selection committee.
He currently spends a lot of time at the ballpark cheering on his daughter’s softball games.
I am deeply appreciative of Jay and Global BC to shine some light on myself and Hidden Wonders the Speakeasy Magic Experience.

Omni Deck | Shawn Farquhar
zhlédnutí 7KPřed 7 měsíci
From the fertile mind of Jerry Andrus and Danny Korem comes this Ambitious Card routine with a surprise ending! A signed card is placed in the center of a deck. With a snap of the fingers, the card appears magically on top of the deck! This is done without any cuts or shuffles. It just “magically” appears! The effect is repeated two more times, then the deck is placed in the spectator’s hands. ...
Book Test with volunteers.

Sneak peek at an effect I will be releasing soon. Wouldn't it be great to have one spectator doing the book test on another? Let me know what you think, honestly. The volunteers are a married couple and neither were stooged in advance to make this effect work. Not released yet, but will be available one day at: www.PalmerMagic.com Filmed at the Retreat in Utah at the Prestige Theatre.

Extended Stay (Circa 2011) - Shawn Farquhar
zhlédnutí 839Před 9 měsíci
Back in the day I created and marketed an effect through Palmer Magic called Extended Stay. The effect had three hotel key cards and more than a dozen effects that could be done using primarily the hotel key cards. A few of the effects need additional items, like a deck of cards. This video is a demonstration of one of those effects that needed a deck of cards. It's August of 2023 and I think I...

Yes, I know it's low quality, but at the time it was filmed, it was the best available! This is rare footage of my show when I did cards, candles, doves, and Sidney the Cockatoo. We filmed this in New Westminster, BC at the Bernie Legge Theatre in 1998. It's interesting to note this was filmed just a seven minute drive from where I decided to build Hidden Wonders.

Toy Box Illusion - Shawn Farquhar (Circa 2008)
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 9 měsíci
This was filmed on the Norwegian Star while cruising Alaska. This is in the Summer when Hannah was not in school so we could do the show as a family. Hannah had been appearing from a trunk since she was about eight month old and all the jokes from when she was a kid still worked for the audience and I loved how comfortable she was on stage.

Comedy Magician Stephen Bargatze and my Mom!

This video is of the brilliant magician Stephen Bargatze and features my Mom as his volunteer. It was filmed in 2005 onboard the Norwegian Star cruise ship during the PCAM convention. I love this video because my Mom had the time of her life and I am so honoured to call Stephen my friend. *Yes, the video was filmed in 2005 so the quality is not great, so no need to comment on that fact. Thanks....

    Amazing clip! Sometimes the unseen is the most obvious. And sometimes something that isn't there was there before. I'm pretty confident that the whole trick heavily depends on the "blank" book which in my opinion is a lot of things, but definitely not without information. Truly great magic, just because I love a good riddle.

    My guess is you did a glasses switch, and the glasses you were using for the drink could see invisible ink on the pages of the book.

  • @Dave_Langer
    @Dave_Langer Před 16 dny

    Was the deck switch at the part where the camera cuts away and the deck goes from your right to your left hand? Also were the 8 and 5 cards forced?

  • @jamesstone8360
    @jamesstone8360 Před 18 dny

    I don’t think the book was blank. Interleaved between each page was a blank page. The blank pages suck out just a little bit more than the printed pages, so when he thumbed through the pages, it skipped the printed pages so only the blank pages appeared.

    It's the glasses. That's how I would do it. With the glasses on the ink in the book would be visible, like for instance ink visible with ultraviolet light. He doesn't need to have the whole page printed, but large keywords from the relevant page. In fact at 3:19 you can see there are lenses in the glasses. And later when you look over his shoulder there is clearly a reflection in the glasses, and the reflection is purplish. Edit to add, the actual trick is the switch of the glasses (or popping the lenses out) before turning to Alison.

  • @TheReaper365
    @TheReaper365 Před měsícem

    Did he switch glasses...It seems there ARE lenses in them when he's doing the trick with Allison. I'm thinking tiny camera in the frame looking over her shoulder and feeding image to lenses...or... special lenses to read reverse image from her book?

    Ok, here's what I'm thinking: The left hand holding the head is miss direction. Notice that the cork stands up when the cup handle is to the right and stays down with it is to the left. I'm thinking there is a magnet in the top of the cork. Also notice that the cork stands up, it moved towards the handle (twice). So here's my hypothesis: There is a permenant magnet in the handle and a permenant magnet on the side that we cannot see (probably to the right of Shawn). Has he turns the cup, he is turning one of the magnet and depending on what side the handle is on, the 2 magnet neutralize themselves.
