You got me Shawn. I'm pretty sure that I know what is going on with each of your examples and the way that they are all related (including that QH one)... But dadnabbit... I'm buying your trick because I'm willing to bet that you have a lot of great ideas and subtleties to share regarding the method/move in question. I'm thinking that this will be like Kimlet's Roadrunner series with respect to shedding new light on an already widely known but seldom utilized utility.
Thanks for the boldness to just do this the way that it has to be done with a real deck and a real audience with no help! ;-) |

Just finished watching my fresh download. Some of the best dollars that I have ever spent on a magic effect. I'm patting myself on the back because I was right about what he is doing to accomplish the effect, and I was right that he has so much more to offer in how to do it best! Honestly, it's not the secret that is worth the money... it's the fresh insight and honesty that Shawn offers that pays you back for the purchase. The words and theoretical opinions that Shawn offers in the history and background section of the explanation are the real gold mine, in my opinion.
To Shawn: THANKS! To everyone else interested in a solution to the ACAAN/Berglas Effect: Buy this, and stop over-thinking the old stories that you have heard over the years about this Holy Grail of card magic. |

Karl, I was thinking the exact same thing. Maybe do the borrowed/shuffled version of The Journey as a first phase, and then HG as a second. The limitations of each would probably cancel each other out in the spectator's mind.

If you "HATE" sleight of hand, this one is not for you. Following on what Shawn said (with all due respect, of course), the main move is very well taught in the download and is very, very versatile. Even if you never end up doing the HG Effect, it has a ton of other applications. In fact, I'd bet dollars to donuts that you could slip it right into some effects that you're already doing. The move is worth the price of the download. |

Shawn,
I am receiving an error when trying to checkout and purchase this effect on your site. When I click the PayPal link, the message says, "Services unavailable, try again later." I tried yesterday and again today, and tried using difference Internet browsers and also on my mobile devices. Please advise. Thanks |

Which version of The Journey? I'd say that in terms of sleight of hand it's about as difficult as the first two versions, definitely harder than the others.

I Googled and didn't see anything to support my guess though. I can say that a lot of others were able to buy the download yesterday, so I'm not sure why it picks and chooses who get to complete a transaction. Sorry for the hassle and not sure what to say other than, please try again. -shawn |

Its Awesome Shawn Farquhar.

Magic Life, I'm not so certain it would ever make it on Fool Us. They are trying quote hard to not just have card effects of the show. Good advice to anyone thinking of going on the show would be to avoid card tricks is at all possible. I you have to do cards, make it very different. They really want to showcase al styles of magic. But, hey thanks for the compliment. If I ever get the chance to meet them again, I just might ask them if the want to see a card trick!

Shawn, any chance you will release your signature Fool Us effect?
I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death my right to say "scr*w you" if you persist. [Voltaire ]

Hi,
Purchased the trick today and started practicing the move. I'm a bit of a novice so will let people know when I finally start getting it smooth. Random question, when you ask people to thing of a number, do people ever go crazy high and if so what do you do in that situation? All the numbers on the trailers seem fairly close to one another. |
