@@ShawnFarquhar has this annoying habit of being a really good spectator for magic. He just keeps smiling and having fun. Also, he’ll tell you later that you did a good job and mention the things he likes about your act and you personally. It’s like he actively wants to be your friend. What a monster.

“I don’t think anyone in this room is keeping score today” - said whilst looking Shawn Farqhuar dead in the eyes as he’s there as a judge literally keeping score to me was the most brilliant bit of performance at FISM I’ve seen so far. Following it up with the french guy comment referring to Markobi’s chaotic performance was also a delight. Thank you for the performance!

THANKYOU! Those inside baseball jokes were literally my favorite part of the whole experience. You win the thread.

4:45 That smile and chuckle from Shawn brings me joy. He's both a judge and FISM winner. He knows cards and sleight of hand. But it looks like that reaction stems from him genuinely having not seen you load the card. For just a second, he went from judge to delighted spectator. I do magic, but I rarely do magic for magicians, just out of paranoia of looking like a goober. But if that kind of reaction is what is there, I need to start.

The initial snap deal and vanish of the three cards was SOO CLEAN

You’re very kind. I’m rather partial to that move.

"...and shuffle tgem until your happy...not existentially...we don't have that much time..." lol. Best line ever-best monte routine ever!!!!

Wow!!! Having watched you do this act a few times, I’m amazed on how you continually elevated this trick! I thought your Penn and Teller presentation was so phenomenal, and the subsequent ones were such improvements on perfection, but your FISM presentation was truly a world class presentation! Well deserved recognition of your awesome talent and hard work!

Holy shit I saw this the first time you performed on Penn and Teller, DAMN my dude this is so much more natural and clean! The other one was amazing, this one is stellar. Really enjoyed it

Three card monte might always be one of my favorites. Love your rendition. Excellent work Erik 👏

Thank you so much for sharing! What a wonderful idea for a story in magic. Engaging and truly magical! ❤

So good!!! So glad I was able to watch this, thanks for posting it and congratulations, Erik! 🥳

Still speechless, what terrific showmanship and humor as always!

Easy, this "Shawn" guy is a paid actor.. Love your energy Erik, very clever, very beautiful, very very very very entertaining act. Well deserved.

Congratulations Erik! I was so pleasantly engrossed in your performance that even though I was watching this on my phone and alone, I broke into actual applause. Thank you for representing the U.S. at FISM, you were awesome!

What a great entertainer! I love every moment of this routine! Hats off!

Even when I know what a couple of those moves were, I'm still blown away with your execution of them. Amazing handling and very entertaining patter.

This was one of the best performances I've ever seen. Really funny too.

Awesome job!!! Congrats on your award and a stunning performance !!!

Fantastic, Erik! Wonderful job!

Great work! Fantastically entertaining all the way through. Respect!

Congratulations for 3rd place ....❤️❤️ Act was too clean , really impressive

Brilliant performance - the best three card monte i ever seen...super clever.

Final form indeed! Bravo!! Super super well done ahhhhhh so good!!

Super magic and funny, too! Great.

Just seen this video and had to pick me up some continuum cards. Such a clean deck and a well done performance. Congrats!

You crushed it, Erik. That was a joy to watch!

Brilliant in every way. Great magic, but such a fun presentation.

What a work of a maestro!

U sir are my number one just 4 elegance and 4 wearing that perfekt clownish tie. Pure magic cheers TvT 🎉

awesome man. That little bit of Lennart Green style just fits perfectly for this act in my opinnion. Keep up the great work Erik

Absolutely superb!

Nice work Erik! Beautiful routine, congrats!!

I love that you brought this back from your Penn and Teller performance with a few mince tweaks. I always loved your performance and presentation of this scam-ah, I mean game! Well done!

Congratulations, Erik! Great routine!

I love your skills and your dry witt. Fantastic routine.

brilliant plot and execution, Erik. Congrats!

Great progression and smooth! Protect the stash at all costs.

Great act, congrats!

Congratulations Erik incredible performance 🔥🔥🔥

Love it!

Dude, that was insane!

Great routine and great skill. Congratulations

Beautiful presentation. Seeing this live and up close must be amazing, your misdirection is top notch

The switch of the aces is pure gold! loved it. But saying their back in the deck is wow! :)

Wow, this was so clean !!! The "invisible deal" (not sure if that the name), all the switches with the misdirections, but still be able to continue talking and doing some jokes about NFTs lmao ! You're an amazing magician/sleight of hand master !

Love how you talk it out it is great❤

Doing those moves for a laymen is super hard enough. Doing them in from of Farquhar is insane. Super large huevos, dude. Best monte routine I’ve seen in like fifteen years.

Dude, Very well done! Congratz!

I just watched you on Fool Us and it is amazing how much you have improved this trick, or at least the technique! Well done!

I came from Penn and Teller, and boy, is this improved to perfection!

I'm loving that tie and the performance

Very, very good act!

Wonderful!

Congratulations Tait. So glad you are one of my card tutors. From my penguin download purchases I mean

Holy shit!! I didn’t even realize that was Sean till the end!!! Amazing!!!

Yeeeeesssss! I had a smile the whole time watching that. Time to grow a "stash"!

I loved the last part!

Very...very...entertaining peformance. I loved the back and forth between the viewers. And Shawn Farquhar sitting to your left. He was so awesome to be making constant eye contact with you...lol.

I am magician and i crazy about the monte tricks. And you add something to this category of trick. You add an very good presentation and original effect. It's not just "Find the queen" ! All the effect of this trick is justified and execute with a method i'd never seen before. And a final with 3 clear card is just... beautyful !

It's inspirational how much work you've put into the presentation, to effectively portray a confident, fast-talking character (whether or not you felt that confidence).

Imagine doing close up magic at FISM, while Shawn Farquhar is sat next to you burning your hands haha. I’ll be honest, I followed most the routine, but the presentation was superb, the sleights were fantastic and all while being very funny.

Congratulations on placing so high, Erik! Amazing performance and energy. 3rd place now, 1st place next time, right?

I really enjoy the Penguin podcast. Thanks for doing it. I am learning with my 12 yr old son. He is wanting to start doing birthdays, etc. I get nervous doing it for family and friends. I would love to get to Columbus to a show sometime. We are in a bit of 'magic desert' in very Southern Illinois; 4 hours to Brent Braun's, 5 to Branson. Ickle Pickle isn't too far, but haven't gotten there yet. Keep up the good work. And congratulations on FISM!
