Toronto: Lost in the Shuffle at the Sid Lorraine Hat and Rabbit Club [Nov 21]

From the November 9th Instagram post by CAM:

Hosted by The Hat & Rabbit Club: Movie Night! LOST IN THE SHUFFLE

When: Thursday November 21, 7:30pm (Doors open 7:00pm)
Where: Agricola Lutheran Church, 25 Old York Mills Rd, North York
Admission: FREE for members and $20 for non-members

Trailer: https://youtu.be/HrOOw8B5yMI

Popcorn and Magic! This month our Event is a screening of the documentary Lost in the Shuffle featuring a post screening Q&A with Director Jon Ornery.

Seen through the eyes of some of the world’s best sleight-of-hand artists, including Shawn Farquhar, Juan Tamariz, Alexandra Duvivier, Richard Turner and Michale Vincent, Lost in the Shuffle is a multi-faceted look at this remarkable 400-year relationship that’s seen these simple playthings provide an endless source of miraculous inspiration for magicians throughout time. After a trip to France Shawn Farquhar wondered why the court cards look the way they do. Of particular interest was the King of Hearts, also known as the “Suicide King” because he appears to be stabbing himself in the head.

Shawn believes there is a much more sinister story, that an actual medieval French king was assassinated at the hand of his own wife. Now Shawn is out to see if his theory’s true - will the greatest illusion of all prove to be that an ancient cold-case murder has been hiding under our noses all this time?
