What people are saying
‘"Lost in the Shuffle balances education and entertainment with admirable ease, as Farquhar’s enthusiastic participation brings a delightful energy to the informative interviews." "Lost in the Shuffle evolves from its murder mystery framework into a surprising love-letter to the illusionist art form. The irresistible finale culminates the documentary’s interviews and lessons towards a powerful performance from Farquhar."‘
David Cuevas
‘"Equal parts celebration of renowned sleight-of-hand artists around the world, in-depth history of playing cards, and a murder mystery stemming back to the 15th century French royal court, Lost in the Shuffle is difficult to distill in a few sentences but vastly more coherent than it has any right to be, given its sweeping narrative scope."‘
