I can't believe it's been five years today since this video was uploaded and that 1.7 million plus viewers have watched this segment. The World Championship win put me on the magic map, but Ellen and her amazing crew were the ones that gave me the much needed exposure to help me keep doing magic for a living. Heck, Penn & Teller would most likely have never asked me to do their show Fool Us, if not for Ellen. I owe her, the crew and all of you a huge thanks... so THANKS. -shawn

I've watched this so many times and my favourite part is always when he says, "I already did."

That last trick gave him the "World Champion" in front of his name

Dear Mr. Farquhar , I thoroughly enjoyed the trick . Amazing . What is more amazing is your confidence , stage presence and bubbling enthusiasm . I saw it first on Penn and Teller and then here . Just fantastic . This means anything is possible .
