Shawn Farquhar FOOL US ACT REVEALED! 

This isn’t your effect to teach?

Yes, he's fine. Travel around the world and do magic. Last time he complained on Air Canada and said they have bern a very bad company lately.

@liselottefrejdig1112 Hello, thank you for your reply and info . A lot of standards are not as strong these days among companies. But that is still terrible to hear about . Stay safe and well.

He has a magic threatre in New Westminster BC. Does several shows a week and is sold out most nights. The threatre is called Hidden Wonders.

Hey Rob, Thanks for your reply. I'M glad to hear he is doing great. I knew about his awesome magic theater. He is excellent and deserves every fan. I hadnt seen him on youtube or anywhere, but he is a busy guy, and he doesnt sleep, lol. Thanks again, Rob. I hope you and your family are doing great. Be safe and well. ​@@RobEvanstheMysticBovine

Well done!

@@steventaputoro Thanks man, I appreciate the community you are building, cheers

You are correct: I’ll pin a comment. Cheers!

The person who made this video did NOT invent the trick. And Shawn does not sell it. And this video is only a guess at how it was done.

Rewatch it. I explain it clearly during making the gimmick.

agreed - I was lost from the first step...

He's a world champion at close up magic

I think, there's a method to palm the to-be-forced card until the selection process starts. As the cards are face-down, he can just let it slip in at every moment.

no, this was edited out... see my response above...

Lolol

Sorry I cant count 😂

Not the same in the slightest. Totally different.

For a regular audience you would only do one deck switch. You switch the real brand new box of cards with the gimmicked box, allowing you to slide their signed card in and seal it up. The trick would end when you reveal that their signed card is miraculously inside a “sealed” box of cards. The audience would never know that you used the gimmicked box with the flap. Penn and Teller though, are not a normal audience. They are likely to want to inspect your cards/props after the trick. The second switch was to get rid of the gimmick box, so he could hand over the perfectly normal box to Penn for him to take back to his chair and examine. He used the advertising cards being in his pocket as an excuse to go back into his pocket and disguise that second switch. Penn and teller saw him do the first switch from real box to gimmick box, they didn’t catch the second one where he switched them back. As a result, they had no idea about the gimmicked box and had no chance to inspect it because he’d taken it out of play right under their noses. So they knew he’d switched decks during the trick, but because of the second switch, they could not figure out how that would allow him to put a signed card into a sealed box.

Tv editing.

I believe he did flip it over, just spread the card out to find the 7 and then put in a point break, flip it over and perform the force. The tv edit probably cut that part out though

Oh, I see.

*pinky break

And Penn had his eyes shut during that process? He see and commented on the deck switch and likely would have said, “you had to have used ‘The Force’ to get me to pick that exact card.

Thanks for the heads up! Link added :)

Steve, that is brilliant thinking. This is an excellent way the trick went down. 👏👍💪💪👍👏😊🥃🥃

This has to be the only way it's done

@@gangsterghost6943 Ya, OK.

Also penn shuffled right before. Do you think he had the 7 palmed?

@@bjornahbel801 Shawn claims his palming sucks. Not sure if he would use it in front of such a large audience

Also, he didn’t do a force. He told him to touch a card and pull it out. After Penn shuffled them.

You should watch the tutorial :)

So you’re saying that Penn somehow missed him looking through the deck and was victim of a classic force?

@@CaptainVideo1960 He didn't have to look at the deck. He manipulated the card where he wanted it to be.

I'm pretty sure, he did another method to force the card.

It was forced 100%. You can see him force it in other videos. If you watch my tutorial you see he switched the boxes aswell

@@steventaputoro Not in the Penn and Teller FU episode tho. Penn shuffeld the deck and Shawn didn't look at the cards. But anyway, this is still the best explanation I've found yet. Kudos

@@amFortunate Unfortunately, they edited this out - Shawn flipped and spread the cards then probably said something like, "let's see if they're all mixed", quickly located the 7 of clubs, and put it in position for the force.

@@billnollit’s probably more likely Shawn used a locator card so he could get a brake without going through the deck. Likely either a breather or a short card.

Versions of the signed card in sealed deck have been in print since at least the mid 1950’s

Newsflash. The rest of the world have different accents.

Ah yeah it does…

You need to open the box.

Where are you located? North American bicycle decks contain two advertising cards and two jokers.

It’s a card trick. Enjoy life 😂

@@steventaputoro it may be just a card trick to you it is their livelihood

Revealing a trick as good as this one (that too a marketed item) to the layman on RU-vid​ is not good for the artform ... It just kills the "magic" out of the performance. Just to gain some subscribers you're ruining the artform. Did you take any permission from Shawn to share HIS trick out open in RU-vid ? Bruh create your own trick if you think you're too genius ! And then reveal and teach on RU-vid. I don't know what's wrong with people like you on RU-vid revealing marketed tricks without permission!!!! @@steventaputoro
