As a long-time amateur card mechanic myself, for people who don't know, Richard Turner is considered the absolute cream of card mechanics. Experts Steve Forte and Jason England, extremely well respected and skilled in their own rights, look up to what Turner can do like a child does to an adult. Moves that many fantastic card mechanics can only do 1/20 times, e.g. the Perfect Table Faro Shuffle, Turner incorporates into the beginning of his routines, and does so flawlessly. His tactility is beyond that of any other card mechanic that has probably ever lived.
Wyatt Nite he also does perfect non faros xd

@TheDirtdirt he is blind
He did realize it was face up. He turned it face up and never turned it back over. How could he not realize it?
Magic Man
Simple, he forgot to flip it back over, when so many things are going through your mind, and you are blind, mistakes can happen. Seems to me he is amazing.
For those unaware and just watching the clip... you should know that Richard Turner is also blind (developed in adulthood). Amazing guy, amazing talent, amazing perseverance,.
He is incredible. Just a slight addendum: Turner started going blind aged 9 due to scarlet fever (although I think I've heard him say aged 7 in another interview), and it deteriorated to the point of legal blindness by age 13.
@@weefeatures He says he still can see color like a kaleidoscope.
The video title says that he's blind....
@@DbSawoJarkko Title was possibly edited after the comment.
Also he has a blackbelt i think in karate
Regardless of his incredible ability, he's just a gem of a person.
*germ
@@JameBlack ever played 52 pickups?
First time watching this channel. I have no idea how you do most of it, but it looks truly incredible. I’m a huge fan of Richard Turner. You’ve got yourself a follower
Just completely unreal - what an extraordinary and lovely person.
"...And two years later he goes, 'I still don't understand how the hell you can do that.'" What a legend this guy is.
One clue maybe is that his is rubbing his left thumb över the cards - to feel what type of card it is using braille?
@@Kallekringla3 Turner practiced his craft to the point of obsession. Even if he used some braile markings, his technique is flawless.
@@Kallekringla3 according to his wikipeda entry he refused to learn braile, so considering how forthright he is about his craft i doubt hed lie on that (plus lets be real, those markings would be obvious to anyone close by)
This man is one of a kind. the chance that there will ever be someone like Richard Turner ever again is very slim.
I'm glad I discovered him while hes still with us!
Yes, he did mess up the false cut in the beginning of the video with the deuce, but even the greatest slip up once in a thousand times. He is in fact just a human. That being said, to me, the man is a legend and a great inspiration. Since I was a child I have loved cards and anything to do with them, rummy, poker, and especially magic. If I can one day do a quarter, with sight, of what he can do blind, I will be a happy man.
Richard is absolutely amazing, a national treasure of magic, and card tricks. While doing the second trick I was getting excited that he was gonna wreak the other guy even with that partial deck he was being handed. I know that even as sneaky as I am, I couldn't pull the wool over Turner's eyes.
Both their voices are so soothing to listen to
the shuffle he's doing in the beginning is so soothing wtf
He would do great at yugioh.
he don't need the heart of the cards, the heart of the cards needs him
Such a warm feeling from this video. Thank you for including it in the e-mail sendout
Wow... the best card deals ever, but if dealt by a blind person they are no less than mind blowing ... yes incredible !!!
If he's going his slow motion I can see he never deals off the top. BUT If he deals 1% faster which is 49% slower than normal, couldn't see it. He can literally feel each card, and deal it from any part of the deck. Perfection.
I wish I could buy the documentary! Fantastic.
i don’t understand how this is possible. Even if he could see that wouldn’t be much less impressive
Amazing demonstration of skill and entertainment- mesmerizing! Well done! Kudos Richard Turner - very inspiring! Thank you Tim and Richard!
Richard Turner is the greatest That's the only words I have. I wish that I would be able to meet him one day.
And if one is to believe his intro on penn and teller’s “fool us”- he is also a black belt, sooooooo.........amazing human!!!! Well done. Top card mechanic!!
You can believe it, he holds a fifth-degree black belt in Wado-Kai (or Wado-Ryu) karate and started doing karate AFTER going blind, which is friggin' amazing. This style of karate is particularly suited for blind people as it emphasizes on joint locks and throws, meaning that if a blind person was to get into contact with their opponent, they could crush him just as a non-blind person could.
There's that one conversation at a tournament where he tells a guy he's blind. The guy then proceeds to say, "You're legally blind, how could you possibly fight?". Turner's answer simply was, "I don't know, find out!". The man is a badass from head to toe.
There's that documentary about him, called Dealt, from 2017. It's a really great watch!
Asatruction thank you for info and story. Will definitely check out. Have a great day and be safe
Watching Richard work is a treat every single time.
Stuff like this breaks my brain. It does seem completely impossible, but yet, he can do it. Amazing.
Truly amazing trick from an amazing man.
Beautiful man and a beautiful act.
Just amazing. And when I think about how he might be doing it, it’s even more amazing! Extraordinary skill.
Just watched the documentary on Hulu. This dude is just epic
What is it called?
@@tptobias "Dealt"
This guy blows me away every time I see him. Truly the best!
This man is absolutely amazing ! what a legend he is.
Thank you for the podcast and for this video)) The whole thing is just amazing)))
My god. And a killer sense of humor the whole time too 👏👏👏
Always like you Tim...now I like you a lot❣️ Richard is a legend in the field...
The craziest part of this video is they managed to trick Richard into using a deck of bees
Ray S not a card person here. May I know what does that mean?
It’s just the brand of playing cards. Richard pretty much exclusively uses bicycle cards in a traditional cut. You would probably recognize them if you see them. They’re pretty common. The backs have the angel riding a bicycle. The bees have that argyle back. They’re actually both made by the USPCC so it’s really just a matter of preference but the card stocks are different. Even without being blind you can feel the difference but since he is blind he likes to keep it consistent. I’ve heard him say he goes so far as to not shake peoples hands since it will affect the moisture level in his hand. Sounds crazy, but USPCC actually uses him for quality control specifically because he can judge the moisture levels in the card stock better than their machines can
@@rays5163 I thought Richard was exclusively Bees. Are you sure? That documentary from a year or so back, he gave a tour of his place and they were all Bee decks.
I haven’t seen it but i just looked up the trailer and he uses both in it so you might be on to something
I think a lot of card mechanics tend to prefer bees because, visually speaking, it's easier to deal seconds or bottom dealing whereas the white margins on the bicycle cards make it more evident when you are not dealing from the top. That's been my own personal experience any ways
And his Dai Vernon impression is awesome too !
That's impressive enough without being blind! Wow!
One of my most favourite person/idol..watch all his videos on RUclips..you won't be disappointed..
So in love with this soul❤️. Thank you
He also has a 6th degree karate black belt. So much respect for this man!
He is brilliant 👍👍
There are people who are considered gifted, then there's Richard Turner who is way beyond that.
Richard Turner is a super human
First time I saw Richard was on Fool Us. I’m blown away.
The thing that impresses me the most is his Dai Vernon impression XD
this man is a national treasure
That's so great ❤
What an awesome human being. Another great reminder - as you tend to bring out - that I need to keep on upping my game.
Dave Sabol me too
Can anyone explain how he knows which card is which? I mean just the tracking and card manipulation itself is mindblowing, but how does he know which card is which to know where to put it? And it's not that the cards are marked, because he can do that at a poker table with a regular deck (from what I understand).
Outrageous
Richard would have to be the absolute best of the best. To do this with your eyes opened would be difficult, but doing this blind is just simply amazing. The amount of practice and dedication to his craft deserves all the respect!
I remember seeing a blind magician on TV back in the 70s. Could that have been richard turner. He was amazing back then also.
All I can think of, he uses special cards that feel difference textures to determine the value. Don't get me wrong, his skill is awesome .
He is clearly "reading" the cards with this fingertips (since he cannot see). Extraordinary skill!
He deals off the bottom with sleight of hand feeling the bottom card if it is junk he deals it out to players. If it is good he deals from the top and saves it for his partner. That's why Tim still got a couple of crapper cards (2 out of 7).
I'm amazed he still nailed it though. I thought Richard exclusively used bikes. I know bees and bikes are both produced by uspcc but the card stocks are still different so I was expecting that to really mess with him
Sir Richard Fooled Penn & Teller So Badly!!
He's just incredible
He's a real star
WTH Tim!! This guy is amazing, thanks for sharing him.
amazing
5:16 "Thats like 5 cards less than you handed me.." I'd run away..
He said he and his sister caught Scarlett fever as children and he started losing his vision at 9 years old. This man is a legend!
This is sourcery :-)
the best card mechanic ever 🙏
Wow.
I have watched few of his interviews and Richard Turner really hates being called blind (by his own admission).
i started cackling like an idiot when he pulled the 5 ace hand
great
This guys is the real DARE DEVIL! So damn good.. like he has the third eye
He stumped Dai Vernon. Whoa.
Incredible! Someone can steal the hair right off of Tim's head and he wouldn't even notice.
I don't know if I could do these tricks. I'm all thumbs when it comes to magic.
Tricks sounds so cheap compared to what is in this video. Respect the man!
@@CosminPerisan Easy, dude. You need a tissue? Respect yourself.
Cool.. Very cool.
But Bebel is the best.
Just for his smooth style
Amazing. I love to see how he cheats in slow motion. 'None of those moves were legit'.
I just don't understand how it's possible, when the cards weren't even shuffled by himself and was cut randomly before handing to him, and not even a full deck, how did he even make sure that a royal flush is in it?
He gained senses like in a superheroes or martial arts movies. He has practiced for tens of years that his fingers became really sensitive to cards, so he use the difference of thickness or any other things to distinguish between cards. He practiced more than 10 hours daily (iirc 16 hours avg daily. Check his documentary)
i havnt watched this video yet, i just saw a news video about Turner from 2014 and this video is 2020, im about to lose my shit knowing hes been practicing another 6 years
Epic
5 of a kind lol
3, 4, 5, 7, pick any number

Watching the movie prestige makes me wonder if really it's an act hes doing claiming hes blind but really not. Magicians commit to the act. Blind or not though hes amazing
so mahjong mechanic also exists. damnn.
Looks like we caught a hanger Sarge
🔥
I get being able to manipulate the cards incredibly well, but just how the fuck can he unshuffle a deck without knowing the order of the cards?
My only hypothesis is that he feels the printing and knows what card he's touching that way. Which is no less insanely impressive, but at least it's not completely otherworldly.
This is too fair to be true
He’s gotta have some type of indicators on these cards
Richard is RIPPED for a blind 72 year old man!
Random sub
I notice dthat the man likes to tell stories 😂😂☺️☺️
wonder if he can do that with an other deck of cards , only see him using this deck
I think he once refereed himself a "card mechanic" in the Fool Us show
Ivan Zupancic a card mechanic is a generic term for a skilled cheater specializing in card moves .
@@bousninate You are in fact very right. All i am saying is that he himself corrected it when he was called a magician
Ivan Zupancic fair enough ! Misunderstood your comment
@@bousninate All good. it's like google was screening these chats .. i get a recommendation : ruclips.net/video/nPuQF3eSJso/видео.html
I'm a huge fan but I didn't know he did impersonations as well.
I have no idea what is going on. Richard Tourner is amazing and I would hate to play poker against him.
i just yelled "how the fuck did he do that" at the screen
The routine following on 3:30 you can quite clearly see that he's dealing seconds except for Tim's card, so did he introduce Tim's perfect hand on top with sleight of hand or what? Couldn't see anything.
I think he has some kind of braille on the cards, and depending on whether he wants to keep the card to deal it to Tim, he deals seconds if necessary. By having a wild card in addition to the ace, it raises the chances he's going to run into one of them (to deal to Tim). Having the person give him a smaller stack and continually mix it maybe helps him do that as well, he has another chance for the right card to be on the top or something.
We just witnessed actual magic
Tim screwed up and mixed the decks at the end. Lol.
Thats OK, Richard sorted them back into their correct packets with a single cut and riffle shuffle.

One handed
🤯🤯🤯🤯
dang that means he knows which face is up by how it feels :o
I endorse Stephen Lang to play him whenever the movie comes out
4:44 He pulls card from middle of deck. 5:25 from bottom of the deck ... cards are made to trick you.
He must work with braille marked cards, so he can feel which card is which. There is no other way that could what he is doing, because another person shuffles the cards. Or can he hear how they are shuffled?
this guys fingers have tactile sensitivity. USPCC uses him to check for the cards because his touch is even better than the machines.
5:39 pack 2 and 3 he doesn't deal the top card, he does it only with 1st and last stack.
Congrat, you know the last bit of the trick. Btw the bottom deal was clean as fuck. I want to be half as good with eye as this man.
Male sure to watch his documentary
