<br />
== Biography ==<br />
His awards include being the only magician in history to win First Place at the [[International Brotherhood of Magicians]] (IBM) for both Stage and Sleight of Hand; [[Canadian Association of Magicians]] Magician of the Year;<ref>[http://www.canadianassociationofmagicians.com/HOMEPAGE.html Canadian Association Of Magicians Website.]</ref> First Place at the [[Society of American Magicians]] annual magic convention competition; and three Silver (2nd Place) awards plus a First (World Championship) in Card Magic and the Grand Prix World Championship for Close Up at [[FISM]], the "Olympics of Magic". <br />
<br />
In August 2009 he won magic's most prestigious prize at the [[FISM]] World Championship of Magic in Beijing.<ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/arts/theatre/story/2009/08/24/magic-act.html B.C. man wins magic's top prize (August 24, 2009)]</ref><br />
<br />
Farquhar travels the world extensively performing and lecturing for magicians and consults for TV shows and motion pictures. He has appeared on the cover of the largest magic publications in Asia, Europe, and North America.<br />
<br />
Farquhar has appeared on stages all over the world, including the Riveria, Las Vegas, Opera House, Blackpool and Orpheum, Vancouver. He has performed for Queen Elizabeth II<ref>http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=U1ARTU0000788</ref> on her visit to Charlottetown, PEI and has traveled to Bermuda at the request of Princess Anne of Great Britain.<ref>http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=U1ARTU0000788</ref><br />
<br />
He is the Past President of the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians.<br />
<br />
Farquhar appeared on the January 13, 2010 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where she referred to him as "the best sleight-of-hand magician in the world". He presented several effects, including his creation of a signed card in a sealed deck in Ellen Degeneres' hands, and a torn and restored signed photograph.<ref>Tri-City News: [http://www.bclocalnews.com/tri_city_maple_ridge/tricitynews/entertainment/86038807.html Maillardville magician wows Ellen] 2 March 2010</ref><br />
<br />
On May 1, 2010, the Canadian Association of Magicians once again named Shawn the Canadian Magician of the Year, making him the only two-time recipient of their most prestigious award.<br />
<br />
In 2011, Farquhar was filmed for Season 1 on the UK show Penn & Teller: Fool Us, where the hosts Penn and Teller view contesting magicians' tricks with the intention of working out their methods. Farquhar successfully fooled them by creating the illusion of a signed card appearing reversed inside a brand new (and shrink-wrapped) deck. Farquhar won the opportunity to perform at their Vegas show.<br />
<br />
In 2012, Farquhar was a guest on the Canadian television talk show, Steven and Chris, where he presented several effects including a card trick with a golf ball retriever and a sand pail as well as his original prototype for a comedic book test. This would then be demonstrated on July 13, 2016, when he returned to Penn & Teller: Fool Us and asked the new host Alyson Hannigan to test him in recalling several random pages of the novel The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in a segment called Sheer Luck. Farquhar was successful in fooling them, winning the opportunity to be at their Vegas show again. This made Shawn Farquhar the first magician to fool them twice.<br />
<br />
He is a past International President (2014-2015) of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, Canadian Association of Magicians and Pacific Coast Association of Magicians.<br />

<div>[[Image:PCAM.jpg|right]]The '''Pacific Coast Association of Magicians''' (PCAM) was established in [[1932]] in the western United States. Today, the organization is tied to an annual convention that travels up and down the west "coast" (often moving inland) of the U.S. and Canada.<br />
<br />
[[Lloyd E. Jones]] served as the first president. [[Caryl Fleming]] took over four years later in 1934. <br />

== PCAM Publications ==<br />
[[The Diebox]] which began in July of 1933 was published by Walter Adrian, out of Portland, Oregon, with Lloyd Jones was the associate editor. The first issue featured an announcement for the first PCAM convention on July 13-15, 1933, with the second issue running under the masthead "Endorsed by the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians". By 1934, the PCAM was advertising The Diebox as "The Official P.C.A.M. Magazine". Adrian quit after fifteen issues. It was quickly picked up by [[Gerald Kosky]] and William Taylor publishing it as the [[Pacific Coast Magic News]], starting in January of 1935. It continued for seventeen issues, until August 1936.

<div>[[Image:PCAM.jpg|right]]The '''Pacific Coast Association of Magicians''' (PCAM) was established in [[1932]] in the western United States. Today, the organization is tied to an annual convention that travels up and down the west "coast" (often moving inland) of the U.S. and Canada.<br />
<br />
[[Lloyd E. Jones]] served as the first president. [[Caryl Fleming]] took over four years later in 1934. <br />
<br />
== PCAM Publications ==<br />
[[The Diebox]] which began in July of 1933 was published by Walter Adrian, out of Portland, Oregon, with Lloyd Jones was the associate editor. The first issue featured an announcement for the first PCAM convention on July 13-15, 1933, with the second issue running under the masthead "Endorsed by the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians". By 1934, the PCAM was advertising The Diebox as "The Official P.C.A.M. Magazine". Adrian quit after fifteen issues. It was quickly picked up by [[Gerald Kosky]] and William Taylor publishing it as the [[Pacific Coast Magic News]], starting in January of 1935. It continued for seventeen issues, until August 1936. Next [[Genii]], with it's [[Genii 1936 September|first issue (Sep 1936)]], took over as the official magazine for the PCAM and continued to promote as such until at least the [[Genii 1938 October]] issue. [[Lloyd Jones]] would publish 31 quarterly issues of the [[New P.C.A.M. News]] from 1959 through 1967.<ref>{{cc|misc:pcam_publications}}</ref><br />

<div>[[Image:PCAM.jpg|right]]The '''Pacific Coast Association of Magicians''' (PCAM) was established in [[1932]] in the western United States. Today, the organization is tied to an annual convention that travels up and down the west "coast" (often moving inland) of the U.S. and Canada.<br />
<br />
[[Lloyd E. Jones]] served as the first president. [[Caryl Fleming]] took over four years later in 1934. <br />
<br />
== PCAM Publications ==<br />
[[The Diebox]] which began in July of 1933 was published by [[Walter Adrian]], out of Portland, Oregon, with Lloyd Jones was the associate editor. The first issue featured an announcement for the first PCAM convention on July 13-15, 1933, with the second issue running under the masthead "Endorsed by the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians". By 1934, the PCAM was advertising The Diebox as "The Official P.C.A.M. Magazine". Adrian quit after fifteen issues. It was quickly picked up by [[Gerald Kosky]] and [[William Taylor]] publishing it as the [[Pacific Coast Magic News]], starting in January of 1935. It continued for seventeen issues, until August 1936. Next [[Genii]], with it's [[Genii 1936 September|first issue (Sep 1936)]], took over as the official magazine for the PCAM and continued to promote as such until at least the [[Genii 1938 October]] issue. [[Lloyd Jones]] would publish 31 quarterly issues of the [[New P.C.A.M. News]] from 1959 through 1967.<ref>{{cc|misc:pcam_publications}}</ref><br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:PCAM.jpg|right]]The '''Pacific Coast Association of Magicians''' (PCAM) was established in [[1932]] in the western United States. Today, the organization is tied to an annual convention that travels up and down the west "coast" (often moving inland) of the U.S. and Canada.<br />
<br />
[[Lloyd E. Jones]] served as the first president. [[Caryl Fleming]] took over four years later in 1934. <br />
<br />
== PCAM Publications ==<br />
[[The Diebox]] which began in July of 1933 was published by [[Walter Adrian]], out of Portland, Oregon, with Lloyd Jones was the associate editor. The first issue featured an announcement for the first PCAM convention on July 13-15, 1933, with the second issue running under the masthead "Endorsed by the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians". By 1934, the PCAM was advertising The Diebox as "The Official P.C.A.M. Magazine". Adrian quit after fifteen issues. It was quickly picked up by [[Gerald Kosky]] and [[William Taylor]] publishing it as the [[Pacific Coast Magic News]], starting in January of 1935. It continued for seventeen issues, until August 1936. Next [[Genii]], with it's [[Genii 1936 September|first issue (Sep 1936)]], took over as the official magazine for the PCAM and continued to promote as such until at least the [[Genii 1938 October]] issue. [[Lloyd Jones]] would publish 31 quarterly issues of the [[New P.C.A.M. News]] from 1959 through 1967.<ref>{{cc|misc:pcam_publications}}</ref><br />

'''Ray Gamble''', long time resident of Tacoma, Washington, was a traveler, philanthropist, millionaire businessman and magician.<ref>http://search.tacomapubliclibrary.org/images/dt6n.asp?un=6&pg=1&krequest=series+contains+D683 </ref><br />
<br />
His interest in magic came as a small orphan. While picking strawberries in Arizona, his boss reached over and picked a quarter from under a plant. To discover how it was done, Gamble saved his money until he could buy [[Howard Thurston]]'s book of magic. Later in life got to meet Thurston.<ref>TACOMA'S ELEPHANT BOY By Frances Ireland, Linking Ring, May 1948</ref><br />
<br />
In 1913, he opened a fish market in Tacoma. While working at hauling sawdust for the local mills, he discovered that if this material was spread on his floor it would absorbed fish odor. What became known as "wood flour" was also found to be a stabilizer for explosives and later for a myriad of consumer products. Mr. Gamble helped to develop the "wood flour" industry <ref>http://search.tacomapubliclibrary.org/images/dt6n.asp?drequest=series+contains+924</ref> <br />
<br />
Gamble was noted collector of elephants figurines and carvings.<ref>MUM, June 1972</ref> His home became known as "The Elephant House" and at the height of his collection of 3,000 elephants was estimated to be the world's largest. <br />
<br />
An [[S.A.M.]] member (#2471), who attended the San Francisco Assembly No. 2, he also served as President of the [[IBM]] Ring in Tacoma and the [[PCAM]].<br />
<br />
He also had the distinction of being the only dues paying member of the IBM Singapore Ring 115 in North America, after he and his wife visited them in the 1960s. <ref>WITH THE COLLECTORS BY WILLIAM G. STICKLAND, February 1969.</ref><br />
<br />
Gamble sponsored the "Ray Gamble Trophy" at [[PCAM]] conventions awarded to the best single card magic effect with an unopened deck of cards. It was later awarded at [[IBM]] Ring No. 92, Vancouver. <ref>[[Genii 1939 March]] (cover)</ref><br />
