Description
The Academy Theatre is excited to present the documentary film Lost in the Shuffle!
The show film will be accompanied by a short magic demonstration!
For almost as long as there have been cards, there have been card tricks. In the hands of a
magician, a simple deck of cards takes on a life of its own and is elevated to an instrument of
wonder and awe. Seen through the eyes of some of the world’s best sleight-of-hand artists,
Lost in the Shuffle is a loving look at how playing cards have become synonymous with magic
and the mysteries hidden in their art.
Two-time world champion Shawn Farquhar takes us through six countries as he both tries to
prove his theory that hidden in the art of every deck of cards are the clues to the conspiracy to
kill a French king in 1498, while simultaneously creating a brand-new routine that tells the
real story of Charles VIII’s untimely demise. Workshopping dffierent elements of the routine
with four top magicians, the film pulls back the curtain on the creativity, ingenuity and
psychological tricks the modern magician employs to make us all believe in the impossible.
