Shawn Farquhar has been announced as the winner of the competition at MacMillans International Magic Convention in London with his FISM winning close-up act. Our chat with Shawn is now online. In addition to sharing some of his experiences as a magic competitor, he tells us one of the most amusing antic-dotes on meeting Dai Vernon that we've ever heard on the show. Lance Burton, Ed Marlo, Larry Jennings and many more also make an appearance. ENJOY

Didn't he say he'd tip his signed card to sealed deck if he won FISM Closeup?

I heard that he is using signed card to sealed deck trick in fism 2009. After that he is maybe releasing it...

Yes I did say after I won FISM.... so far I have three SILVERS... that's not a win in my book! But it's looking good for 2009 in China ... ;-)
Hope you all enjoy the interview ... Cheers, Shawn |

Great interview Shawn! I voted for you at the IBM/SAM this past summer. My guess is that you only lost by a nose hair of votes. I was so pleased to see you pick up so many great contracts at the award ceremonies, you certainly deserved it.
Please, Please, PLEASE win FISM next year so you can release your signed card to sealed deck routine. I saw you do it twice at the IBM/SAM and was even more astounded the second time because I thought knew what to look for and couldn't see a thing! It was one of the most magical performances that blew me away at the IBM/SAM. Thanks for that! |

Dod, this was one of the best interviews you've ever done. I've never seen or met Shawn. (He was 20 minutes away this fall and I had a gig.) I'll be seeing him lecture in the spring and can't wait. Keep up the good work, both of you!

Great web site and interview. Since this is an old thread I had to look back a little but it was worth it.
I looking forward to seeing Shawn again in Branson at the Magic Show Conference the end of April.

Thanks for the offer. I'm sitting here LOL at myself. I scanned back through one page at a time to get to the interview with Shawn the first time. The search function worked much faster. Thanks again.
