this man is my hero, i met shawn many years ago and will never forget it. and this will be the first trick i teach my daughter. awesome routine. this is what magic is all about, making that emotional connection. a true canadian hero.

[bezeker12]

@ShawnFarquhar while your over there. come to Ireland. more specfically Cork (as far south as Ireland goes)

[ShawnFarquhar]

@bezeker12 I'm coming to Ireland too ... but not Cork. I will be in Dublin and Belfast ... in early October.

[bezeker12]

@ShawnFarquhar are you coming to do a show or lecture in Ireland?

[ShawnFarquhar]

@bezeker12 I will be doing a lecture in Belfast and Dublin. 

[andyrooney12]

@ShawnFarquhar

How about a show in my living room? You can help me bring a magic trick alive by helping me magically make a talented magician appear...in my living room...with that trick that you did with Penn & Teller on Fool Us...and that other awesome one that you're thinking about but you haven't told anyone........you know what? We can discuss the details over green tea.

[ruimsts52]

Yesterday is history, tomorow is mistery, today is a gift that´s why they call it the present. 7 minutes of gr8 talking, i like this guy...

[GradGamer]

I don't understand why anyone would dislike this, it's so simple yet simply beautiful.

[ElFeilasouf]

Awesomeness must be running in your family.

[danielk0582]

@kidsandwomen it's a gypsy thread routine

[popobserver]

@danielk0582 Gypsy Thread is a routine, this is MAGIC!

Gypsy Thread can be learned in ten minutes. This is the result of a lifetime dedicated to giving to others.

[redchief16]

10 jealous magicians dislike this. LOL. 

[ScottBrandsonMagic]

Hey Shawn it's Scott Brandson. Come down to Winnipeg and do a lecture, everyone here loves your magic.

заебись)

[aabb1166]

hey shawn

what song is this

[aabb1166]

You are really the BEST magician I have ever seen!

[AlexGazmararian]

You use a mac

[YFZER359]

I was able to see Shawn on both of the Alaskan cruises I was on and man, he was just as amazing the second time around, even though it was the same show. Truly the greatest magician of this century. Everybody can say "criss angel" or "David Blaine" but they don't have a quarter of the heart that this amazing performer uses. God bless you Shawn and good luck for the future!

[Bakajutsu]

Amazing, you demonstrate the magic of life without the slight of hand nor smokes and mirrors. Truly a Prodigiosus Veneficus

[Fireboy0]

You are...amazing!! I aspire to touch people like you do! Maybe not with cards, but with my own magic!

[ShawnFarquhar]

@Fireboy0  Obrigado ...

[Fireboy0]

@ShawnFarquhar De nada ;) Obrigado eu! (impressive)

[YottaFlop]

This guy is simply genial! PURE skill perfectly balanced with a magnetic personallity... in other words... the perfect illusionist! I just hope he didn't came to a stop due to the lack of support, because if that was the cause then it means that illusionism is trully comming to an end as many claim... the art that has been entertaining us for dozens of centuries.

If you trully liked this video add it to your favorites so others can see it in your channel...

...and watch his sting card trick!

[needapurse]

god bless shawn, its juanita morris braden, from spectrum, e mail is bradenfamily at shaw, in canada or just ''ca

blessings

[chrisrandallmagic]

We love you Shawn!

[NickGoesR0aor]

[miroror]

[slayer94QC]

its aswome Shawn congratulation really congratulation

[Dan1loBr]

We spend hours in classes learning lots of stuff, but these 4~5 minutes were golden...

Thanks a lot!

[adihellokitty]

Além de tudo é lindo demais!!!

[saimon20000000000]

that's 1 of my favourite of your magic..

[Rlilmagician25]

your sting card trick its the most amazing trick on the world

[aabb1166]

@Rlilmagician25

Just wait!

Hes got a NEW trick called "unwritten"

He uses the song unwritten

[rpresto]

great vid. and a fab finish to your show. would love to see you live some day.

[aleicat64]

i almost cried when he was telling the story. it was so sad.

[PPRGUN09]

the crowd was kind of rude screaming so much even when others stopped.

[sugeocucuru]

ALL THE RESPECT SHAWN!!!! you are the perfect man to attract an audience! congrats! Cheers and support from Romania.

[anathema93]

sugeocucuru ... daca ar stii omu' de de la cine primeste aprecieri :))

amazing guy, amazing tricks , amazing jokes !!! :))

[molosterol]

:)))

[anathema93]

chestia e ca-l stiu pe userul "sugeocucuru" :))

[Zendishwasher1]

i love the emotional content of your work.you really know how to touch an audience.5 stars.did your grand father really do this trick? it is the gypsy thread routine is it not?i hope you teach more magician's need to learn what you do so effortlessly.

[ShawnFarquhar]

Yes Grandpa did it and it is the Gypsy Thread. My Father did it too and I hope one day Hannah will present it too ...

[Zendishwasher1]

thanks for replying,i hope to pass my skills on to my daughter too.this is a wonderful tradition.i envy you. but not much,i have had a magical life too.power too you and your family.

[liamblackere]

i hope he comes back to scotland

[whackyfish]

I was at this show! I was at his last show when he left the norweigon star, and just recently(all last week) I was on the norweigon star again, when he regoined.

[pstank1]

I was on that ship last week also.

[XDsmileyDX]

i think i might have been one of those people screaming on there, i was on his last show on an NCL cruise

[YFZER359]

i just got back from a cruise in the mexican riviera and he was on it. I seen him in 06 when we did the alaskan cruise. The coolest guy you will ever talk to and i HUGE insperartion. Criss Angel and got nothin on this dude

[patrickstar199]

Cool,we were on the same cruise.

[YFZER359]

im thinkin the 199 in your username is cuz you dirtbike? lol

[silverguitar1221]

i was on the same cruise! awesome

[patrickstar199]

Hey! I was just on that cruse!...in got back from fact I just got back from it. I still have no clue how the heck he does that stuff. I thought it was really cool....and sean if you read this comment are you awear that your last name is almost the same as that little short guy on shrek?

[m4ster8881]

why you go ?

[allpraisetd1]

shawn your last week on the star was my first week on ships. i have yet to see a better performer. i will always remember your last show and hope to see you again.

[SouperStaro]

Peaches if you are reading this we were in your kids club lol

[SouperStaro]

ME and my cousins were there!!!

[carlbixby]

contd....thank you shawn for keeping magic real and being an inspiration just like the magicians before us alive and passed on eg. dai vernon tommy wonder lance burton jeff mcbride to name a few.

[carlbixby]

absolute genius the patter lines were exceptional they are true words of the heart i dont know if this is based on a true story but either way it makes magic real that will make anyone think of good times and bad also life and death the words perfectly fit into this routine i bet there are people who will prob use these words to take to there own hearts and always remember the "thread of life" i think you have gave this a new name instead of the old gypsy thread or hindui thread trick.

[Tbone9988]

I WAS ON THAT CRUISE I SAW THAT HE IS SO AMAZING AND i got his autograph :). i was sitting front row. i fell out of my seat when the guy laught like 20seconds after the joke. he is so nice he is the best.

[Tbone9988]

I LOVE HIM he is so amazing and halarous

[sweetpea1924]

one amazing magician... and friend... miss his magic a lot! was on the final show onboard the star and cried a lot!

[seanystb]

Amazing, you are a fantastic performer Shawn

[johnpyka]

Well done, Shawn.

[SCANDALMAGIC]

Shawn is the best! I laughed and cried as well. I get chills when the crowd rocks at the beginning. THIS IS MY FAVORITE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE WHEN I FEEL SAD I WATCH THIS AND I GET INSPIRED. WOW! WORDS CANT EXPLAIN IT.

[NairodYerg]

No podría expresarlo suficientemente bien en inglés... Cada vez que me pierdo en el camino hacia la buena magia, me inspiro de nuevo viendo una pequeñísima selección de videos que reúnen para mi la esencia de la misma. Desde ahora, incluiré este video en ella, y haré lo posible por que nuestros caminos se crucen algún día para aprender de vos, y felicitarte por tu trabajo.

Eduardo Galeano

[hecmagic]

You made me cry Shawn... That was very emotional... You have lots of things to teach. It was a great pleasure to meet you the other day. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Hope yo see you again. Hector.

[StKildaFan]

Shawn, when are you coming to australia? I saw you perform here in july but that was just one trick, (A brilliant trick). I'd love to see your whole routine. This is brilliant by the way.

[csquared6059]

hey shawn I really like your magic. I like how you set up your tricks too. Your sence of humor is also really great. I like the part about the mac and cheese.

~Ryan 13

[DustinPurplePirate]

Shawn is one of the most passionate performers on the planet. I wish the camera would have panned to see the standing ovation he received (only one of many).

You inspire me Shawn.

[snowman1088]

I laughed, I cried. A ten minute show with a piece of string. That's art.
