Did this MAGICIAN Shawn Farquhar FOOL Penn and Teller with CARDS?

June Farquaad I'm Sean Parker I come from a little place called maple ridge British Columbia Canada population about the same as Heathrow Airport 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 my father was a magician my grandfather my great grandfather I'm like the fourth generation without a real job in 2009 I went into Beijing China the world Olympics of magic and in front of 3,200 of my peers I won the World Championship for card magic it's an amazing title and gives me an opportunity to see the world Showtime have some fun the reigning world champion of card magic mr. Sean Farquhar [Applause] [Applause] thank you so much for that warm welcome it's a real pleasure to come across the pond to share with you one of my magic tricks I'm going to do a card trick but it's a special one and it's gonna use a brand new deck of cards pen would you mind helping me Penn Jillette please come in join me it would have picked teller but I think the conversation might have been very one-sided I have a brand new deck of cards hermetically sealed inside of this deck of cards is the little paper seal says the United States playing card company it confirms that it's a brand new deck of cards not Canadian that's true inside a brand new deck of cards never touched by human hands would you cup your hands together like have for me and to drop the cards on your hand now I know you know cards but they don't I just want to point out that if you look at the brand-new deck there are two premium cards here right these they're to advertise things the other end of the deck has two jokers a one is like traditional one and the other is like a guaranteed Joker but we're not gonna use those but we're gonna keep the one Joker in okay can you kind of fan the moat so the audience concede what new deck quarter looks like you can see it runs ace through King see the two kings in the middle folks these are what we call the kissing kings I call them the Brokeback Kings what the cards when you feel they're completely shuffled they'll let me know I believe persi diaconis said you have to do 12 shuffles I'm sleep but I'm I'll just do our 4 or 5 I believe that's ok we'll give them a cut and we'll perfect you the bottom oh is he doing favorite touch a card on the back just kind of plunk your finger take a look at it it's alright if I see it I've seen this trick before ok what card did seven I'm done seriously you could not have picked a more perfect card write your name right on the face of the cards I will perfect once the cards been signed will recap okay that's the pen why it's the joke your hand just flat like there certainly would I'll place the cards here place your other hand on top trapping the cards in between my world fully and effectively and I'll remove one card okay if I removed your card would that be impressive that would be very impressed no it wouldn't I got a joker it's okay it's okay how about this I can do better than that okay if I could reach in between your hands and straighten one card up huh so it's the opposite direction and it was your card the seven of diamonds would that be okay can do better how about this would I fool you if I were to put those cards back in new deck order and put the one card reversed yeah pretty good okay I want to say you're gonna fool me I won't say that yeah good how about if I took the cards and put them in new deck order reverse the one card put them in the cardboard box put the paper seal and wrap them up in the plastic oh that would be a fine trick take a look it's a brand new deck of cards I want you to see is there cutter slit in the top of the bar there is not cutter slit in the bottom of the box no not that I can see how about the side not that I can see the other side not that I can top or back nope it's a brand new deck of cards I'm sorry I'm gonna pop this open inside there is a paper seal says United States playing card company not Canadian sometimes it takes four look the paper seal in sight a brand new deck of cards never touched by human hands yeah that's perfect if you look at the deck there isn't a premium card on the end do you know why why is that they're in my pocket remember mm-hmm get the boat there's a lot of them there's the Joker's and the premium card all of them are in here that means that this should be a new deck order deck take a look and see if they run a stir King well maybe you could turn this way so the camera guy's good someone who is a professional in showbiz now you notice one card is there first between the eight and the six of diamond would be where the city where my selected card should be it would you like me to remove it to make it easier for you I'll just kind of pull it like that lightly and turn it around like that so you can see [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay so I know you're not gonna tell us how you did but that was unique dislike who that's my job but then if dinner you can't share but does anyone else do that particular technique no there was not not the similar technique the same effect was a gentleman by the name of George Schindler many years ago now the Dean of American Magicians he inspired me but I came up with a completely different method and that will be the key I guess you see me to fool those guys if you're sure then they haven't seen you before and they can't put their finger on it we'll get away with it by we I mean you of course although I'd like some of the reflected glory sure and is that one of the most technically difficult ones in your in your routine today it is in fact not the most technically difficult but it's probably the most fun to present because most of it takes place in the spectators hands and I think magic that takes place in somebody else's hands so much more powerful as magic that takes place in our own so what I tell my wife all the time enough time this is a really really tough call for us I think anybody has to know that at some point you had to do a dex which unfortunately there was a moment when we both saw when you were pulling the panel yes and we had all these discussions and meetings about this which we've talked for hours with the producers about what would constitute fooling us we said over and over again if we actually saw a move it would negate the whole thing but all that having been said and the feeling that we saw a move that we should not have seen we have no idea how you got the goddamn talk [Applause] I'm out of the bag [Applause] I'm the most important part of the trip I think you did should make us one promise what's that never tell them [Applause]
