Shawn Farquhar raising money for Paul Green

Updated Dec 12 to add:

  • Dollar amounts are in USD.
  • After you pay, if you aren't redirected to the download site, check your e-mail for the download link.



From Palmer Magic:
This is a digital download video that was shot at Chateau Farquhar with iPhones.  No this is not a high quality video production.  However the tips and instructions on how to do the Classic Force are high quality and will help you to learn Shawn Farquhar’s version of this amazing technique.  If you have ever seen Shawn perform, the chances are you saw him Classic Force a card.

This project was created because so many people asked Shawn for advice on his handling of the Classic Force.  Shawn felt that most of the information he shared was given to him by mentors such as Tony Eng and John Gilliland and did not want to charge for something given to him freely.

So why are we charging you anything?  Well a wonderful magician and friend, Paul Green is facing some health challenges and Shawn felt this would be a great way to raise some needed funds.  If you know Paul Green, you know he is a master of the Classic Force and even has his own DVD.  We recommend you purchasing this too, as it approaches the technique in a different way.  All funds raised by this project will go directly to Paul Green.

Darcy Oake: Edge of Reality is hosted by Christine Bleakley and shot on stage at the historic Opera House.

The Canadian took to the stage on Saturday night to thrill the crowd as he performed some jaw-dropping illusions.

Billed as an “evening of breath-taking, logic-bending illusions in the grand old tradition of stage magic fused with Darcy’s modern twist”, it certainly did not disappoint.
