March 17, I found out who my attackers are.


My name is Seth and I am a Professional Magician entertaining audiences all over the world.

Your support aids me on the path to recovery and justice.

Surgery was more complex than expected. The original X-Rays showed 6 fractures, but turns out... it was at least 12.

The surgery was almost 3 hours... consisted of implants and aligning fractures. An Orbital Mesh that acts as a floor of the eye socket and a Platinum Metal Plate holding the cheekbone breaks in place.

A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ALREADY DONATED. THIS SURGERY WOULDNT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU. *

* If untreated, had I waited any longer... I was looking at a lifetime of double vision, permanent nerve damage, eye and facial disfiguration.


On Jan 6th, I was mercilessly attacked by two people on the street in South Africa. This happened late in the evening after leaving a family barbeque.

I visited an Optometrist, Ophthalmolagist for CT scans, and finally a Maxillofacial surgeon.

Blood and air have accumulated inside my eye socket, Nerves have been damaged causing long-term numbness in my face, a subconjunctival hemorrhage, (blood vessel damage in the eye), along with a broken nose, fractured cheekbone, and lower orbital fractures affecting my vision (shattered floor of the eye socket).

It is confirmed that I am suffering 6 facial fractures and need surgery asap to stabilize and realign the damage, as well as implanting a new floor in my eye socket.

I am completely out of financial options.

Now I am facing high medical costs. I cannot do this alone, but with enough support from my friends and fans, I can finally get back on my feet and start performing again.

Sincerely,

Seth Shepherd

Update: The healing process. Good news is that the nerves are beginning to heal. The numbness is going down, but holy s***, pain is returning in parts of my skull I didn't expect. It feels like I need 3 teeth blasted from my head. The product of having platinum implanted. . . . .

- Nervous. Cant sleep. Going into surgery in 8 hours. We nailed the goal for hospital and operation costs. All made possible because of you. I'll keep an update when I can. I'll stay overnight under close supervision, and hope everything goes smoothly. -Sincerely,Seth

  • Hey there Seth, we met in the Edinburgh Fringe of 2013 or so. I can't believe what happened to you. WTF is going on with buskers man, first Mark in Dublin and now you. I am really sorry for what you had to go through. I'm sure you'll come out stronger and wiser. Big hug and all the very best. Alejandro
