Lost
in the Shuffle. A feature documentary by Animal Mother Films. Lost
in the Shuffle is a brand new, feature length documentary that pays
homage to the age-old relationship between magicians and playing cards,
using psychology, history, math and art to explore how they’ve become
the most prolific prop in the field. With appearances from top magicians
Alexandra Duvivier, Michael Vincent, Richard Turner and Juan Tamariz,
the film focuses on a theory from two-time world champion Shawn Farquhar
that hidden for centuries in the art of the court cards are the clues to
the cold case murder of an actual French king in 1498. |
