Omni Deck | Shawn Farquhar Shawn Farquhar 2023-10-10 | 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.The signed card is placed in a pocket. Another snap of the fingers and the signed card appears back on top of the deck! Explain that it really should be easy to see through this trick because the deck is not a deck at all, but a block of plastic! As they are holding the deck, it changes to a SOLID BLOCK OF CLEAR PLASTIC!A real block buster ending!Omni Deck is really easy to do. It requires virtually no sleight of hand; you will learn the routine in 10 minutes! No reset; it’s always ready to do. Comes with full instructions, routines, and the special precision-made clear plastic deck.palmermagic.com/product/koremandrus-omni-deck
Book Test with volunteers. Shawn Farquhar 2023-09-01 | 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.comFilmed at the Retreat in Utah at the Prestige Theatre.
Farquhar & Felicity Old Promo + BCTV News Story Shawn Farquhar 2023-08-29 | Here's another two video's from the past. The first part is an old promo reel that surprisingly got us lots of work. No really! LOL. The second video was a story for BCTV News. It was honestly really nice to be given a little light from such a big news company. Yes, that is my hair...
Extended Stay (Circa 2011) - Shawn Farquhar Shawn Farquhar 2023-08-27 | 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 may reprint and re-release Extended Stay, with and extra hotel key card or two in 2024. I guess it will just come down to if magicians want this kind of everyday carry kind of magic. This video was filmed by my daughter Hannah when she was just ten years old. www.PalmerMagic.com
Farquhar & Felicity (aka Lori) Circa 1998 Shawn Farquhar 2023-08-25 | 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. My oldest dove was twenty-three and had survived the fire that burned down our home. Sydney, the Cockatoo, was a rescue from Oregon and when we retired the show, we relocated him to a Bird Sanctuary where he lives happily to this day. I still have all the props and costume for some reason...Music: Barcelona -John TeshBulgares - Cirque du SoleilTied Up (Remastered 2005) - Yello#magician #magicshow
Toy Box Illusion - Shawn Farquhar (Circa 2008) Shawn Farquhar 2023-08-24 | 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.Music by BensoundLicense code: YUNDW26LTCYEYXPD
2001 Hannah Card Trick Shawn Farquhar 2023-08-21 | This video was shot by my friend Dale, who is sadly no longer with us, but he did leave us this wonderful memory.

Comedy Magician Stephen Bargatze and my Mom! Shawn Farquhar 2023-08-17 | 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.

Penetration or Transformation | Shawn Farquhar | Magic Shawn Farquhar 2021-07-13 | Today's video we discuss if this is a Penetration or a Transformation effect. Rubik Cube magic is quite popular and the plot of solving is not the only thing that these amazing toys con be used to perform.In the last two videos I listed the categories as defined by Dariel Fitzkee in his book the Trick Brain. Below I have listed them for you. In the comments let me know which one we should explore next. I think Anti-Gravity, but I will listen to you... • Production (appearance, creation, multiplication) • Vanish (disappearance, obliteration) • Transposition (change in location) • Transformation (change in appearance, character or identity) • Penetration (one solid through another) • Restoration (making the destroyed whole) • Animation (movement imparted to the inanimate) • Anti-gravity (levitation and change in weight) • Attraction (mysterious adhesion) • Sympathetic Reaction (sympathetic response) • Invulnerability (injury-proof) • Physical Anomaly (contradictions, abnormalities, freaks) • Spectator Failure (magician's challenge) • Control (mind over the inanimate) • Identification (specific discovery) • Thought Reading (mental perception, mind reading) • Thought Transmission (thought projection and transference) • Prediction (foretelling the future) • Extrasensory Perception (unusual perception, other than mind)Music: Bensound.com#magic #foolus #youtubemagician

Sawing a Queen in Half | Shawn Farquhar | Magician Shawn Farquhar 2021-05-31 | A cool little illusion using a card box, a King, and a Queen...The initial idea for this came from an old publication in the '90's called the Magical Arts Journal.It was a collaboration of several magicians and though it didn't have a long life, the ideas in the journal were great. I will make another video doing this same effect with a completely different ending in the future, because it's a cool prop that is easy to make and is amazing to me.What cool prop have you made?Music: Bensound.com#cardmagic #pennandteller #pennandtellerfoolus
