A few cool tricks I created - Shawn Farquhar

[SiAugust23]

Hey, Shawn! I understand the nature of the matrix gimmick, if there is one! If there isn't, you've truly astounded me! I'll personal message you about it for the sake of privacy! Great job! You're truly a genius!

[Theincrediblespud]

Shawn, I'm seventeen years old and have recently started to love magic. Could you please tell me the names of some good beginners card tricks and sleight of hand card tricks? And are there any easy ways of making a cards colour change?

Love your tricks! Thanks! :D

[manitoass]

The misdirection with the coin roll was excellent. I had to watch again to catch what happened. You are an amazing magician!

[Anonypoke]

Are you a wizard?

[metalgeo]

FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF

[inscrutable67]

I get the feeling theres a magnet or something on your wrist from the way its always pressed to the cards the chips vanish from.

[inscrutable67]

sweet tricks but I had to mute the sound

[EugenSorin]

Great! =D>

[KiminoryYoko]

Why do i think i understood those tricks, i mean i got a guess about how you did those tricks, i´ve seen a lot of magician showing their best and explainin at the end, damn i agree about sleight of hand but it doesnt look like a thing from the other world.

[Callanizy]

Did you scoop some up in your sleeve?

[guthix1485]

love magic and love yours

[gabbelloto]

exact sleight of hand, perfect ...

[preacherZer0]

Superb as always.



[PeterLECA]

a trick that is easy to do, and does a "boom" on the peoples reaction, is the best trick. anyone agrees with me ?

[Ghostleader010]

ow man i love watching your tricks my favourite is the shape of my heart keep up the good work.

[monkeyman822]

ooommmmgggggg

[GuiGo89]

its not to see the trick, but its amazing hands habilities..

congratulations for all fun you give to people

[aaron1728]

the last is really impressive =]

[magichristo]

Even though I figured out everything, it was entertaining and beautiful. I'm into magic as well. May I recommend you disable comments?

[MagicDezZ]

I bought Some Of These At your Lecture At the Nottingham Guild Of Magicians

[caladabolg2nd]

2:10 when he flips the card you can just see him place the poker chips under the card since one slips out a little but he covers it nicely by tucking the chip back into place

[gamereviewsfully]

hey shawn can you tell me if i found something i wasnt supposed to, in the trick where the card had the poker chip in it you put the card on top of the other, but when you popped the chip out the card was on the bottom.

[ShawnFarquhar]

@gamereviewsfully ha ha ha ... see this is why magic has such a hard time on YouTube... yes that is the small discrimination in the routine. Did you see it on a single viewing or on multiple views?

[caladabolg2nd]

@ShawnFarquhar i've been studying psychology and although im new i like the way magicians use certain tricks to manipulate our perception like the distraction with the poker chip over the fingers. very clever (:

[gamereviewsfully]

@ShawnFarquhar 3rd time i watched it, i didn't think it was that important so i guess that's why i din't notice it the first time, or maybe cause im only 10 lol

[themagicgirl420]

@ShawnFarquhar ha multiple views of course. cant just watch and be entertained ...

[guthix1485]

@ShawnFarquhar multiple me too

[Woolfieman]

@ShawnFarquhar Have you seen the similar trick performed on Fool Us by Alan Rorrison? What do you think of his variation without the mat?

[kunkushun1]

@Woolfieman ALAN RORRISON'S version was superb as well. Your patter and presentation is just better which makes the trick better in my humble opinion. But honestly he is swell as well too.

[kunkushun1]

@ShawnFarquhar They dont understand that in real life you can't rewind what you see. Your magic is beautiful &wonderful no doubt. Your the hyper est &happiest magician. You honestly are my fav magician hah. I mean that nicely and not in a suck up way. I would pay anything to have you even show me 1 trick :) I am a 22 yr old magician whose at home in a remote town with less than 1200 people. And it's the biggest place I've ever lived. I obsess over magic and the history of it. Your my fav period.

[todoconmagia]

shawn, you are the best, come to uruguay!!!!!!!!!

Take care

Leonardo

[idiotictamato]

[ShawnFarquhar]

What is the title of the song?? - Be My Dream - Alvaro Radio Remix It was not my first choice but YouTube asked me to change the music as I didn't have the rights to use the one I had selected. It's a cool tune none the less...

[Pjotr42]

Shawn is awesome !!!

[Magiccardman]

This trick is very good, but easy to figure out. I will not let anybody know how it's done though. sorry.

[xandekocsi]

[lytninboltz]

[ShawnFarquhar]

[mpugliano]

Shawn YOu Rock, got to spend some time with you in SC

[ShawnFarquhar]

Thanks SC was a blast!

[MagicGuy196]

look, if you have worked out the tricks, don't tell people.

i have been doing magic for a while now. and cos of people just giving the secret away, people are losing interest in magic.

I saw Shawn perform this at one of his UK lecture and it was amazing.

thanks for the lecture, hopefully i will try to post my own video of these awesome tricks soon :D

[acidmindcps]

[KBscao]

1:20

Oooh my God!!

[benw1992]

Shawn, you are rediculously talented my friend!

You truly are magical!

[MrBigosik]

Easy! I can't make any of the trick, but I know how he made them all. No spoilering, but the point is to make spectacor look one the other hand (the second one is doing the all the work). Some reflex and speed, and the trick is ready.

[sourbourder]

Thats magic...

[rock4eva13]

well done genius. care to spoil anymore magic for the laymen?

[yepp1989]

nice;)

[crozboz]

Beautiful man, it was a pleasure seeing you in blackpool - you shows were amazing. You've taken Carl Cloutier's method to the next level. I didnt know you could keep neos there!

[Weirdcraze256]

Shawn,

Do you ever do shows in the US? would like to see one of your shows

[kazigmal]

The late great Dai Vernon was once quoted as saying... "The best tricks are the simple ones"

The REAL trick is that Shawn made it look flawless. we are left with only an idea of how it was done as he didn't flash.

[mnkif]

that picture one is easy

[ShawnFarquhar]

LOL! They are ALL "easy" that's the point! I like "easy" ...

[shiesterjr]

[Bigodon]

Oh, by the way, I've been studyingsome moves of "Shape of My Heart", I still cant figure out the color changes you do on the Aces, looks like a Bertram change but still impossible...PM me about it ;x

And the cuts were really helpful too, I got all of them and been using on my own routines, even on my Ambit~ :P

Well, see ya and keep on coming with greta stuff.

Cheers,

Fabiano

[wolfgangnz]

I wasn't aware that the originator of that routine put it online for people to copy?

[Bigodon]

Very well-done, Shawn :D

I was bretahless when you did this live at my face haha, Its so clever and beautiful.

Hey, I was talking to Marco Tempest recently and he told me hes probably coming to Brazil in March for a 3 week Magic Festival, It isnt 100% sure yet but anyway, have you heard of it? Would be great if you could come again ;D

(continues)

[PandaPooPs]

Woah, very nice. And, I have to say, nice taste in music. What song is this?

[ShawnFarquhar]

Thanks...the musician is Nick Cave and the tune is Red Right Hand found on the soundtrack for the motion picture Scream.
