2018 United Magicians for the World 2020

Shawn Farquhar has won magic's highest honour: the Grand Prix and the title of world champion at the FISM World Championship in Beijing. He is also one of the few to have fooled Penn & Teller twice on their hit show "Fool Us", in both the UK and the USA, and he has appeared on programmes such as "Ellen" in the US, "Stephen & Chris" in Canada and "Asian Ace" in Japan.

His list of honours is long: Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians and the Vancouver Magic Circle, twice Magician of the Year for the Canadian Association of Magicians, the Grand Prix d'Honneur of the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians and, uniquely in the history of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, winner of both Stage Magician of the Year and Sleight of Hand Magician of the Year. He has performed in more than forty countries and a single video of his has passed six million views on YouTube.

He delighted audiences at the 2018 Masters of Magic Convention and in 2020 took part in the United Magicians for the World online charity shows.
