“I’ve been doing magic all my life. My Mom says when I was born the Doctor slapped me and I said ‘Pick a card’!”
I have seen Shawn present this lecture a couple of times in the past and blogged about the one-hour version he presented in Blackpool a few years ago. Here’s what I said back then…
“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.”

I hope you get a chance to see Shawn lecture as I know you’ll have a great time. Just before I go, here’s Shawn fooling Penn & Teller on television.
Speak soon
