An email is circulating the magic community from a certain JIM McDONALD accusing Shawn Farquhar of ripping off Russ Steven's with his now FISM Grand Prix Award Winning routine 'Shape of my Heart'.
Unfortunately, some people are taking the accusations seriously.
This is not the first time this accusation has been made. Back almost a year ago a Mr JOHN McDONALD brought up the similarities here in the Genii Forum. He did so in a much more dignified manner, but as Pete Biro said at the time: "The choice of music was the same, but to say the routines are similar if off base. No resemblance at all."
The email directs people to a blog that's so desperate to seek attention it's current post makes fun of Ali Bongo's recent passing.
In it's posts about Shawn, the author (a Roland from Germany) calls him a name-dropping braggart with inferior technical skill not worthy of being call FISM World Champion - and he says "the contest must have been rigged." He calls Shawn "A disgrace to magic" and says that FISM is now a disgrace too.
Sure sounds like the rantings of a loser.
