Congratulations to my friend in magic, and fellow BC magician Shawn Farquhar! This year Shawn took home the Grand Prix award at FISM the “Olympics of Magic”. On StreetofCards.tv Shawn teased us by explaining that he would be performing a combination of his “Shape of my heart” routine and his signed card to sealed card case effect. Hopefully Shawn will release some footage of the effect for us who couldn’t make it out to FISM.

PS: Soma won as well. He’s pretty good too

You can read other blog posts about the win on itricks, and on the magicnewswire.

My friend Jack who’s a fellow member of the Okanagan Society of Magicians sent me this cool video clip the other day.

I hadn’t seen it before, but I guess its slowly making its rounds through emails at the moment.

Here’s a neat little box that you can make with playing cards. Maybe you can make one of these up to put your fathers day present in.

Here’s an amazing illusion from Copperfields “Tornado of Fire” special. I’ve seen the special, I thought, but I had never seen this trick before.

Filmed at my girlfriends mom’s house after Easter brunch. The two girls are my girlfriends nieces.
