Lost in the Shuffle

"Lost in the Shuffle" is an interesting documentary! Do you know the history of the deck of cards you use in your card games with your aunt on holidays or watch a magician manipulate and locate the access from each suit even after a few shuffles? Well...through a literal trip around the world, the history is revealed through the charming personality of master magician, Shawn Farquhar. Through his journey & interactions with other magicians and creators and designers of cards, Shawn reveals a border which is all on displayed right there in a deck of playing cards! It's so fascinating and fun! Don't miss!

10/10: LOST IN THE SHUFFLE is an engaging mystery in which the clues and the cards are costantly moving and the boldness drops your jaw. The real puzzle, hidden in plain sight for five hundred years, is the centerpiece of this documentary in which we investigate a real-life whodunit... and leaves the cards on the table for you to draw your own conclusions!

Get close up, close in, and close to the vest. For those who have never seen Shawn Farquhar before, this is a powerful introduction to both him and some of his most amazing peers in the industry. For those who have, this proves there is no other performer out there quite like him.

Either way, you'll never pick up a deck of cards the same way again.

He started off good. The history of playing cards etc, but devolved into some silly long winded, self-indulgent, pat on his own back about some theory of a king or something......who cares?! Should've delved deeper into the mystery and meaning of the cards themselves. BORING! He goes on and on about different influences, seeming to try to make this a biography, and it has some good clips. A couple of good tricks by people that aren't him. He stacks these different interactions in some sort of, i dunno what. What does it even have to do with his end "trick"? There is absolutly no payoff to this terrible boring movie. I appreciate the clips of the greats, but this is just BORING.

This is an excellent movie! Lots of interesting facts, a mystery and tons of fantastic magic. Be sure and check it out. We have seen it a few times now. Each and every time we watched it we saw something a little different. The most famous card manipulators in the world are in the movie and they each bring something to the "table". We got out a deck of cards just to see if the mystery was in our deck. It is neat to learn something new that we did not realize before. We will never look at the deck the same again. Thank you for making this excellent movie readily available for everyone to enjoy!

I thoroughly enjoyed Lost in the Shuffle. Shawn Farquhar, a two-time world champion magician, does an incredible job guiding us through the unique relationship between magic, playing cards, and history. The documentary not only showcases captivating performances but also explores the hidden meanings behind certain king and queen cards, hinting at an age-old murder mystery. Farquhar's investigation is fascinating, as he interviews historians who present differing views, ultimately leaving the audience to draw their own conclusions.

Farquhar's interviews with legendary magicians Richard Turner, Alexandra Duvivier, Juan Tamariz, and Michael Vincent add even more depth and perspective. Whether you're a magic enthusiast, a history buff, or just curious, this documentary offers plenty of memorable moments that are both fun and thought-provoking.

I highly recommend it if you're looking for something engaging and unique!
