Meet Shawn Farquhar.  With an incredible number of magic awards and a career that has allowed him to travel to over 36 countries both on land and on the most luxurious cruise ships, he is still a relative unknown in the world of magic.

He has lectured or performed for most of the major magic events including the largest magic convention in the world in Blackpool, England; World Magic Seminar, Las Vegas; FISM, Stockholm and Denmark, plus the IBM and SAM national conventions in the USA.

Shawn has released numerous effects to the magic market including MatriXpress, Tagged and Egg, Lemon & Balloon.  He has consulted on television shows such as the

X-Files, the Highlander and Poltergeist the

Legacy.  In the past five years he has been

presenting an hour long program in the

Stardust Theatre to audiences of over 1000

patrons and has earned over 500 standing

ovations!

Despite all this success I am sure you too

are even asking yourself .... who?

So, to give you and idea of the level of performer you are booking I have included this short video ...

"Shawn is the only person in the world that has moved me to tears with a card trick!  (That's no joke...)  He's a truly inspired and charismatic performer."

Joe Givan

First Place FISM award winner

First and foremost you will learn your money has been well spent!  The lecture is presented as a professional performance.  It’s fast paced, entertaining and the magic taught is clear, concise, amazing and most importantly within the grasp of everyone who attends.  The magic is amazing, amazingly easy!

“Shawn melted our minds with his FISM award winning routine based on the cups and balls. His easy manner and willingness to share had the capacity crowed captivated by creative versions of the Matrix, several different (read significantly different) ambitious card routines.  The version of the Torn and Restored picture was stunning. Shawn’s lecture finished up with a clever card to wallet and his signature effect Tagged.”

Ron Cartlidge

Austin Magic Club  SAM 206

“Shawn performs with masses of energy, and child like excitement, which was quite infectious. It was a fabulous evening full of tricks and ideas, which could have gone on all night.  Unfortunately all good things come to and end, but Shawn Farquhar had given us a real treat.”

Paul Roffman

The Magic Circular magazine

The magic taught during the lecture will include many effects, techniques and ideas used in Shawn’s award winning performances.  This is a lecture of real material used in Shawn’s shows that have made him his Bread & Butter for years!

You will see great effects like:

“I've seen Farquhar perform at the last 2 World Championships and he has always impressed me. He performs with enough energy to power a small town and is not scared to perform some impressive material - both in terms of technique and effect. His lecture was full of very easy material (he likes easy!) and the same energy that he gives when I've seen him perform in the past.”

PETER MCLANACHAN

Because much of what is taught is meant to be performed for an intimate audience, Shawn travels with a 2100 lumen projector and Sony HD HVR Z1U Video camera to make it possible for everyone to see the smallest details.

Professional touches like this are what set this lecture apart from others.

THE ONLY MAGICIAN IN HISTORY TO WIN FIRST PLACE STAGE AND CLOSE UP AWARDS FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF MAGICIANS

So why is Shawn lecturing instead of performing?  Right now is a transition time for Shawn as he develops his own theatre.  In an effort to spend less time on ships, planes and hotels he is booking short lecture tours and offering his years of magic knowledge.  This is only a short term project so if you want to experience this lecture ... don’t hesitate if you get the opportunity!
