"You know what I consider the worst disability of all? Procrastination and laziness."
Me: *sweats and fidgets nervously*
Just Jen Again *procrastinates nervously*
He may be blind but it felt like he was looking right at me when he said that lol..
Just Jen Again Literally me too😢
I KNOW I FELT SO PERSONALLY ATTACKED. Doesn't help that it is 2.43AM and I have to attend a materials and strength lecture in four hours, already behind in the course.
Just Jen Again of
He missed the opportunity to say "pick a card, don't let me see it" 😂
LUL
"My right ear can read lips"
That joke would be irrelevant to the fact that the card is revealed for the trick.
@@benjaminnoteboom7368 yea but it woulda been funny cuz hes blind and can't see it anyway
Pfft hahahaha
I’m really disappointed that he never made any, “don’t show me the card” jokes
He sort of did, in an implicit or indirect way, every time he told Penn to identify the exposed card to the audience. Which *might* be an added trick to how he can do so much, on top of being perhaps the best card mechanic living on the planet: from a computer science standpoint, you never waste one bit of information. Don't get me wrong: I'm not at all implying that it's a "cheat", but a person with his facility with manipulating cards could use such information to produce a performance even more impressive than that achievable with mechanical card manipulation alone (Penn and Teller must surely have known this, and professed themselves fooled, nontheless). Amazing on all levels! What a privilege to live on the same planet as such skilled people as this.
@@AlanCanon2222 you sir are very well spoken. Just wanted to let you know that, have an awesome rest of your life!!
@@dawsondudark Thanks same to you!
And he will never see this comment. Okay, ill see myself to hell
@@AlanCanon2222 Penn (and I) interpreted that statement as asking Penn to act as his eyes, because he flipped the card before asking. IOW, the card wasn't a secret at that moment.
next contestant: "Richard Turner"
Penn and Teller: "Why do we hear boss music?"
Turner: "As you've heard, I'm not a magician, I'm a card mechanic".
Truth: He's not a magician, he's a wizard.
Very nice comment and very under rated. You made me laugh, thank you.
Lmao
boooooo
*cue* *the* *n64* *super* *mario* *bowser* *music*
This blind guy just called me very disabled.
And then proved it.
Ouch.
HE IS BLIND?? That explains the weird look. Oh and the disability remark. Oh man.
To top it off he could kick my ass if i wanted to do something about it....
@Leon Vila same
@@Irishemi OH SHIEETTTT
AeonGaming X actually he is
You can see Penn and Teller kinda nervous because this guy is basically an equivalent of master yoda.
It's probably pretty crazy for them to invite a guy onto their show when he's better than the both of them combined haha.
Just like Terrence Malick... who had this guy trick Brad Pitt in Tree of Life.
@@chimponkomanDon't compare artists man, that is not what art is about. All three of them have their own genres they are best at.
@@AnantMall But these aren't artists. And this isn't art. They're performers that use props and sleight of hand. They have tricks they practice and perform to entertain people. And this guy is better at card tricks and sleight of hand than both penn and teller. I dont see what you're so worked up about. And I dont see why you think this is art lmfao.
@@chimponkoman magic is a performing art by definition.
Richard is just cards, the amount of time pen and teller have put on their craft, I'm sure you don't understand with the kind of words you have used to define what they do..
I love how Teller is calling for the trophy before the act is half way through, and Penn letting out a clearly audible "wow". Seeing these 2 uber veterans being blown away like Alyson gets is great fun and shows that they too just want to be entertained.
Im sure they know whether they are fooled or not before the show even begins
It's cause it's Richard Turner. He is a living legend. The best card mechanic to ever live. He's incredibly impressive when you learn more about card tricks and what he does.
Teller called for the trophy, before he did his trick. He just watch him have fun
I think he was calling for the overhead camera to be lowered to get a better look.
Penn and Teller are Veterans.
I consider Richard Turner to be the Uber Veteran.
When teller broke character and said “bring down the trophy” that was priceless 🤣
Yah I believe he was saying it out loud too. he just doesn't have a lavalier mic on
@@johnpeace971 they are both incredibly brilliant people.
Penn: "Ive NEVER seen moves like that."
Richard: "Me either."
teller "that trick got me speachless"
Neither
@@seanchen871 Thanks. The world can now continue spinning, the seasons can keep changing, and the tide can continue rising and falling all because you attempted to correct a comment made by a stranger 2 months ago on a RUclips video. You're a true hero.
However, if there has been a negative statement already made (in this case it would be the use of the word "never" that is making it a negative statement) the proper response would not be "neither" as that would carry a double negative connotation. If you really wanted to correct my obviously comical, and very much not serious statement, you would have corrected me with "I haven't either." as that would be a more proper and correct way of saying "Me either."
At least you tried, right?
@@hotsmudgesundae At first I thought this would be a nice burn, but then you came off as butthurt and salty.
@@Dantelor not butthurt at all man. Just figured if the guy is gonna correct someone, maybe he should at least be right. You're probably right, though. Brevity would probably have been better.
When Penn says "Hello sir, it's an honor" you know this is truly a special guest
yeah, as soon as they booked him the trophy was fait accompli.
Ioi
John Trick is that he pull out the same cards that riffled resulting in the same deck as before. And also he is not 100% blind. This man is a cheat his whole life. Becoming almost a celebrity cheating and lying. I’ve done some researched and all his stories were exaggerated ridiculously. Shame old man, shame.
@@youtubeusernamex9265 STFU moron
@@youtubeusernamex9265 1st of all, Yes, that's how it's done I can do it as well, just not as smooth as he does it. 2nd, he never said he is 100% blind, he can discern shadows, blurry shadows and have "shotgun vision" as he likes to call it. And on almost all his appearances, he did say his skills are used for cheating.
"Teller shuffle those any way you like and tell me when you're done"
Some say this man is still sitting on that stage waiting.
Quality comment👍
@@shortsthatdontsuck2174 quality sarcasm 👍🏼
Funny, but I also appreciate the way Teller slammed the deck down in front of him in order to communicate he was done. Perfectly acceptable non verbal "tell"
I love this. When Turner starts "dealing seconds", look at the expression on Teller's face. The only way I can describe it is "horrified glee". This is a man with almost 50 years experience in sleight of hand techniques, and HE can't see the move, even though he's barely two feet away.
The technique isn't even the most advanced technique many people could pick it up in probably less than a day
Richard takes it a step further. He has several awards, one of which for being able to deal from anywhere in the deck.
Look him up, this is just the surface of the man's talent with cards. Let alone other talents, like tight rope walking.
@@farout166 Turner only showed us one of his techniques, in truth Pen and Teller truly didn't catch it.
The dealing, maybe, but what Turner didn't show is he can deal from anywhere in the deck. He also can shuffle it back into numerical order or any other order that he wants (among many other skills with cards). So even of you saw the "move" you didn't see everything else that mattered.
In this case, there really isn't sleight of hand. There's no fooling. He even says it at the start. He's just that good.
@@farout166 Turner said exactly what he was doing. If P&T didn't catch that much, I'd question their sanity. What they couldn't do (at least evidently) was catch him doing it. I don't think they hammed it up at all, especially since he said, "This isn't to fool you, yet," and since P&T have never reacted so strongly to the "audience education" portion of *any* other act.
Even if they did pretend, they might only get away with that once; but if they did that often, they'd lose credibility with the audience, and ruin the effect of the entire show. All it takes is for the audience to catch them in one deception in order to forever question whether their reactions are genuine.
@@farout166 They did not "ham it up for the performance", they were legitimately impressed witnessing THE master at doing it, doing it literally in front of their eyes. It's fucking inspiring.
"you know what I consider the worst disability of all, procrastination and laziness"
I knew I was disabled
horizontal same here
Nabillio96 bitch
Me too, where is my disability check?
horizontal weeb
Let's ask for our handicap priviledges !
I love when Teller doesn't know what's going on: he looks like a little kid seeing magic for the first time.
Right? He's truly amazed, it's kinda inspiring lol
Joe Martorella I know what was going on, so I don’t believe that Teller doesn’t know what’s going on. It’s still amazing, and what Teller is amazed at is not that he doesn’t know what he’s doing but with the skill that he’s doing it.
Some of it is show. He does that even for many of the really well known tricks.
I think Penn and Teller knew exactly what was going on, and still couldn’t see it being done. I don’t think he fooled them. He told them how he did everything. He got the trophy for his incredible skill.
It's probably a huge rush to see magic they don't know how they can do themselves or make theories about how they are done. I'd imagine at this point that's a rarity. Plus this guy is so charismatic, it's hard not to get sucked into the act.
"You can't tell you've been swindled... AiNt tHaT FuN?"
Teller: *50000% fooled*
Had the pleasure of working with Richard years ago in Detroit for a show called CONNED... He is the REAL deal. Watching him perform and practice is astonishing. I mean, there isn't a second I saw him without a set of cards in his hand. He can actually feel the weight of the cards and know when one is missing, and which one it is. Absolutely amazing.
*Same*
there is no way he can tell which one of the 52 cards is missing, some of them weight exactly the same
Are you talking about him being able to do this? ruclips.net/video/11R-jy8DZt8/видео.html
@@unmasktheredrum2887 exactly. To see it in person is a real treat + explodes your brain on how long it took to get that talent.
@@heatherdoesvoices9048 Absolutely mind blowing. Just bought The documentary Dealt as well. I get that he's a mechanic and not a magician. He's actually so talented he can shuffle the deck as he sees fit. But what I can't figure out is how he finds the kings after Penn and Teller wash the cards. I can't accept that he can "feel" the cards like this.... What's the catch?
Not only does he have an incredible amount of skill, he’s got a phenomenal stage presence. He’s just plain lovable. What a legend.
I appreciate the Danny Sexbang profile picture...hard to find any nsp fan outside of the community
Slurmp Cliff Dippy I feel you, Slurmp. You must protect the triforce.
I'm just glad he's not a filthy Spinnaker
Tucker Pasbrig Oh don’t even get me stahted.
This is a pleasant internet circle here
He totally burned the majority of us watching this video with his laziness comment. What a badass.
Yeah that comment hit hard. I think he has a point.
He sure did, though I have absolutely no regrets watching this video!
He is totally right as well yeah.
Yeah that really hit me
"Are you feelin' it now, Mr. Krabs?" OH IM FEELIN IT NOW. IT BURNS.
"Do you know what I considered the worst disability of them all?"
"Procrastination"
Ouch
"and laziness"
Ouch
After this show, he got in his car to drive home and prompty drove straight into a building and died. :(
@@markdavis7397 I was about to comment how funny this comment was a year ago, but didn’t get to it until now
Penn “I’ve never seen moves like that never”. This guy has the best second deal in the world. He practiced literally 8-20 hours a day for over forty years straight to achieve such perfection. An incredible inspiration!
Seems like a waste of a life, no offense
According to him I'm severely disabled.
Yeah, me too. :/
me to..I am lazy and chronic procrastinator
@@Nabila-dx8xf Same here.
I'm pretty sure according to him, most of the population are severely disabled.
@@Nabila-dx8xf sorry, I have intended to respond to you months ago, but it just takes so much effort
Calling himself a "card mechanic" is selling himself short. He's a card engineer.
Hes a card kami
Mechanic is someone who fixes things, like a car mechanic fixes cars. He fixes the outcome of the card deck, hence the term "card mechanic" engineer wouldn't make sense.
You could say he solves practical problems. Like for instance, how is he gonna stop some mean mother-hubbard from ripping him off at the card table?
CARD GENIE-us
@@Torguemada A Mechanic and Engineer are virtually the same in many fields.
The fact that this guy has a special deck made by bicycle to his EXACT specifications, in which he can feel the THICKNESS of the cards, should tell you how absolutely mind-blowing his senses are
Look like Bee's to me ?
ALL card magicians use special decks....you think its magic?
@@jadezee6316 I think you missed his point
@@jadezee6316 the point is a major corporation went out of the way to supply that (for free he gets hundreds of decks from bicycle a year i believe) and also find me anyone else on the planet thatcan differentiate 52 cards by thickness.
@@jadezee6316it's not any type of special deck lol... Richard turners gold bicycle decks are simply traditional cut Ryder back smh... and yes it is magic
The collective respect, awe and fear that the magic community has for Richard turner is one of the reasons I’m proud to be a part of it.
I love how people claim that he lies about being blind, as if performing those tricks with eyes is super easy XD
ruclips.net/video/MM9JCxBCr7A/видео.html ask them to check that one lol
Exactly, he does it all face down and knows which card is which because of the way he files them.
He feels the cards by ink and weight with his fingers, but every deck he uses is basic straight from the maker. In fact, many card companies consult him when they change inks or paper to make sure everything is consistent, because he can feel them better than most of their machines.
@@masamigameon Really? That's pretty cool. I heard Penn say in a Wired video that he files his cards. I wouldn't doubt that he can also feel the ink
@don't care He doesn't it is all part of his stage presence. Richard Turner isn't a random blind dude who came to fool us once. He is a recognized performer who had multiple awards over a long magic carrier. Almost as long as Penn's and Teller's. As a blind person that was his main income.
There is a reason Penn said "It's an honor" when he approached him. He like any successful performer has his own team of stylists who dress him up before he goes on stage.
"Procrastination and laziness, give me blindness over that any day of the week", said the blind black-belt-karate-magician. Ouch.
Loud shit to say on RUclips
lol i've been lazy for 9 years
Honestly it's a strange comparison. You can make a change in your live and stop being lazy and stop procrastinating. You can't stop being blind unless technology maybe improves
Yup. Now I feel bad about myself lol. *Turns off YT to do shit*
But his point is that he is living a more fulfilling life than people with perfect eyesight and no ambition.
I love when teller turns into an excited snapping turtle
Casinos in Las Vegas: "we have the best dealers, the players don't stand a chance"
Richard Turner: "hold my beer"
He is actually very well known by all the Casino's as he is good friends with a lot of them. If you get a chance you should watch some of his full interviews, where he talks about the times he turned down working for the mafia.
@@Jconnolly666 yeap I saw the "most wanted by mafia" doc as you said. very nice video & the guy is just incredible.
and .... yes. I expected to be known by ALL of the casinos, not even all of L.V. but in all U.S.
I could be amazed if he DID NOT been known by all the casinos :) :)
what do you mean by "the players dont stand a chance" werent those kind of games played by only players? the house is in the game?
"You know what I consider the worst disability of all? Procrastination and laziness." Ouch man.... ouch.
It got too real
He looks a little like George Carlin
Thats what i have. It sucks. I have to be on my own ass to do shit. My brain wants to always figure a way to not do shit automatically i have to whip myself and train it to get up and go.
Duz111 truth hurts hey?
Duz111
Apparently I'm disabled af.
He's totally right. We must overcome procrastination and laziness.
I'm gonna start doing this... maybe tomorrow.
Yesterday you said tomorrow, so JUST DO IT (cit.)
Have you started doing it yet?
tomorrow is never
LMAOOOOO
let me guess you are still saying tomorrow even after a month
The look on their faces when he shows them a few of his moves. Its like they are kids again. In some ways I think the appreciate and admire him more than the average person does.
The more i learn about magic, the more impressed I am by a good magician, because even on the cases I know what they are doing, I'm just blown away by the skill it takes. That being said, I have no idea how he even starts a trick like this.
@@angelfigueroa6825 man did you hear? This guy doesn’t even know card tricks and just got super lucky when it mattered most
Jokes
Still the most impressive person to ever appear on Penn and Teller. Absolutely incredible
idk... its a close tie with him and Dani Daortiz... and both have amazing presence although totally different ... idk if eyesight is an advantage or not though with those movements and controls
@@narmale Yeah, Dani is a great magician and has some fantastic sleight of hand skills, no doubt about that. But the things Richard Turner can do are simply insane.
@@tc16169 deliberately dealing one card off by feel alone, or knowing if an entire deck is one card off by feel alone is absolutely mind blowing
@@narmalenah still better than that guy.
I love how Teller immediately gestured for them to bring down the trophy after he did the second card dealing
I think he gestured for camera angles (to reconstruct what actually happened afterwards). He also lost his mind and was talking to the stage guys...
@@Oneofakind123 I thought this too but then I rewatched it and read his lips. He literally goes 'Bring down the trophy'
@@Falling2311 and that's why at the end Richard says "my right ear reads lips"
The trophy was honorary. He was a shoe in.
@@Sixstringman I think he actually fooled them. He didn't just fool them, he did told them what he was doing while he did it.
You can tell he's living the high life because he can't even see but he's wearing a $65,000 Rolex platinum Daytona
@@MrUnycorn did some research, because I was doubtful as well, and unless his medical papers lie then he's actually blind
@@MrUnycorn It sounds like you're the one that needs to relax...ROFL
@@MrUnycorn You care enough to state a bullshit that you actually think he isn't blind lol.
@@MrUnycorn You seems to care so much about the word "care" despite claiming that you dont care.
Matt A. ironically using “lame ass” as a response is actually pretty lame. Funny I proved that you actually care, so your decided to care enough to threaten me to not care.
You watch closely: Richard has the deck working even after the shuffle, feeling to align the four kings to his touch! That's a talent and then some. Great performance!
Also, watch the start a few times. Those riffle-cut moves he makes are absolute perfection. With both those lads burning his hands and cards at close range, neither caught the moves he used until they watched a replay.
Absolutely astounding.
When a mute and a blind man tries to communicate, it's good that they have penn there to help.
That feeling when you get finessed by a blind man in a game of cards..
Cified hes blind? wtf...
I was already finessed at 1:03
There's totally blind,then there's legally blind,two different things.
Best feeling in the world. The guy's got pull.
At 13 he was at twice the level deemed legally blind. But over the years his vision deteriorated to the point where he barely sees things as indiscernible shadows and only peripherally. I'd say he's pretty damn fully blind.
His opening act for P&T's Vegas show was even crazier. He had a volunteer shuffle between each time he put down a new card and still dealt a royal flush... ridiculous
kevin a marked cards, for sure, but that’s a given, he could feel what others would miss, but I have no doubt how he moved them to where he needed them was fantastic!
@@DaVeganZombie they're normal playing cards not marked at all, Bicycle sends him a bunch of decks every month to get his input and make sure the cards maintain a consistent feel
@@kevina5337 Ofc they have some sort of 'markings' on them
@@tane well if by markings you mean the faces of the cards sure but that's it
@@kevina5337 No. He literally said he can feel things that other people cant. He cant see the cards so he has to feel them. Kinda like how blind people read braille but probably less visible to people who can ser
I wish Richard could see the smile he puts on peoples faces. Truly an amazing magician.
He can hear all those smiles.
@@markkittel44 very true, good point
“You know what I consider the worst disability of all? Procrastination and laziness.”
I feel personally attacked by this relatable content.
And I took that personally...
3:58 Teller asked for the trophy to be pulled down after the first trick LUL
Abraham Lesmana not enough people realized that. Teller's face during that part is priceless.
Are you sure he wasn't asking the camera to come in closer?
read Teller's lips, he says trophy
Makes the comment at 7:17 seem a little creepy ...
What I like is that that wasn't even a trick, it was just the throwaway bit before the trick began. Teller was impressed enough by the throwaway bit that he knew he had no chance at the actual trick.
I love Teller's reactions to this. Teller can work a deck of cards like nobody else and he is just amazed and humbled by this man's abilities.
So, not "like nobody else" then?
SadBunny teller is amazed by what he does,therefore it's likely he does it differently to teller,better you would imagine,but different none the less.so yeah,"like nobody else" ;-)
He was like a child in a sweetie shop.
a card mechanic's skillset is something Teller could NOT do . there might be only 10 on earth and that's even pushing it.
Of course he fooled them, for those who doesn't know this is considered the greatest card mechanic in the world, a card mechanic can basically fix games under any cirscumstances and any shuffle they control the outcome, he fooled them because there is no trick or deception, it is 100% pure skill, this guy has received offers from many mafias mobs and guys who rule the casino world, he once received a offer from the mafia on the seven figures to work for them, but his morals its just so strong he refused all of them.
The joy on his face when they said he fooled them almost made me cry cause of how wholesome it was
Penn respects him so much. The "It's an honor" at the beginning when he shook hands with Richard says everything.
His son is named Asa Spades Turner.
That's not a joke.
What a weirdo
The perfect trick:
*insert card force here*
"Is this your card?"
"No"
"Asa Come here for a sec"
I prefer Asa Akira
Penn's daughter's name is Moxie CrimeFighter. Go figure.
Christopher Burns his wife will also confirm that while they are making love he’s shuffling cards with one hand . True Story .
8:26 Teller almost goes into blind magic as well
Bill Roberts I dont think I've ever read a comment that made me burst out laughing. this one did
LOL :D
Gotta love how Teller looks like an astonished child while he tries to wrap his mind around the skill it takes to deal seconds so cleanly.
Honestly one of the most inspiring men to ever live in my opinion.
to EVER live?
@@DevinDTV Yeah, a blind man who goes skydiving, gets a black belt in Karate post-blindness, is the best card manipulator in the world, etc, etc, would definitely qualify as one of the most inspiring to ever live.
Just found out I'm disabled.
I've always known.
Me too, and I found out while procrastinating. From a blind guy
Me too, everytime i get the urge to exercise i sit down and wait for it to pass
N3fari0us Damn, me too!
I was just leaving for the gym and thought I'd watch some RUclips first
When he was doing the "dealing without moving the top card" in slow motion, I still couldn't see it.
he's using the fingers underneath the deck to "prime" the motion.
I know, still can't see it though.
i know how he does... but he does it better than anyone else ive ever seen it do...
If he did it with anything that is not a bordered deck of cards, it'd been clear as day.
Every time I watch this video, I find something new to appreciate. I just noticed when he's dealing seconds in blackjack, he says "I have 14," despite the fact that he obviously can't see the faceup cards. I also love how Teller looks almost upset at Penn when Penn starts walking down the stairs, the expression on his face says "Why the hell are we bothering to sit back down?"
The deck was in order, knowing what cards he has is not difficult.
Fear not the man who had practiced a thousand moves, but one move a thousand times. His skill is incomprehensible. What a legend.
Well we know he's practiced at least 13
The best thing about the performance is seeing a magician like Teller, who's famous for his sleight of hand, completely baffled and in awe
when it's that clean, how could you not be
The thing is it’s not all all about the sleight of hand because he can shuffle the card and let you deal them out and he can still shuffle the cards to determine who gets the winning hand so basically without looking at the cards he can determine the hand of of 8 player you know how chess is 3 moves a head his card ability he placing cards 15 movies ahead
And then his sleight of hand is so good that he can pull from anywhere top bottom middle of the deck and no one can tell but he doesn’t even have to
I would not say baffled, Teller knew exactly what the guy was doing, was all slight of hand and skill, but definitely in awe of how good the guy is especially since he is blind. It was all so cleanly done.
@@Terpe75 no he knows that is slight of hand
but to fool them they muts know all the 13 techniques he used but they didnt even know 1 of them exceptt second deal and zarrow shuffle
so they were fucked by this blind dude
Well if Penn was deaf they could form an amazing trio!
See the Magic
Hear the Magic
Speak the Magic
He often yells like he can't hear the sound of his own voice
This is easily the smartest and greatest way I've ever seen somebody call another person dumb.
Brav-fucking-O my friend 👍
@@Peratohtori It's an act, but surely you know that. He's the "big dumb guy".
RUclips keeps bringing me back to this episode, once every few months. And I will watch it every time.
At 5:21 I laughed so hard that I started to tear up! This is wonderful!
I think that Teller was Dumbstruck, awestruck, and smitten all at the same time.
"Teller tell me when you're ready"
Teller: ...
I want to see the interaction between Teller and Red
are teller mute?
ǝuolosıup pǝɹdlʎɥʇǝɯ No, only when he does magic shows
@@sagawa1179 It's just the act. He's even publicly spoken in several interviews.
7:26 "Anyway, hoped you all had fun everybody!" Hear the man, after all these years. He still sound so sincere.. Made me smile. What a great guy
The best to you and your family.
Thomas Pedersen he will never read this
A-ToM-IC, thats not funny
I always love watching this clip. I was astonished the first time, second time, and the fourteenth time. I especially enjoy P&T’s astonishment too. This guy is incredible and for someone who is know to be the two things Richard loathes the most-lazy and procrastinates, this really is good medicine to kick me in the arse to get into high gear!
I love Teller's reaction through this. And I love that he calls for the trophy halfway through the demonstration. Such incredible skill.
Something my Dad said. When it comes to card trick magic, Penn will defer to Teller. Teller is more knowledgeable. So for Teller to have already shown he's baffled midway through, then looking as he does after the "Prestige," that says a lot about Richard's skill.
damn that skill is scary...
of fuck it is
He told a story where he used his skills to get a full suit for free so he could go to the Magic Castle to meet with Dai Vernon, his mentor, i think to either learn or perform i can't remember but yes scary is a good word for it
He's refused deals from the Mob, Saudis, and more, all who offered him crazy sums of money. He can tell you the thickness of a card and measure that with his fingers, literally hand you any amount of cards you want, no tricks. He has absolute control over the deck
Even though he explained exactly what he was going to do, he fooled everyone anyway. The man's insanely skilled.
Alberto Rodriguez damn this is insane
I skipped the intro so for the entire act I had no idea the guy was blind. I thought the trick was great before I knew he was blind but now I’m blown away.
I did the same exact thing. It wasn't until they tried handing him the trophy that it hit me. I rewatched it and am even more amazed
Me too. He is outstanding.
His life story is absolutely insane. He went blind as a kid and decided to become a living god instead of living as a handicapped person. He refuses to use a cane or be treated as though he's disabled. He's trained his fingers so diligently for so long that he can literally feel a card and tell you what it is. He's a karate master, having trained in the most brutal school on the planet back in the '70s. He's been approached by mobsters from several different nations and offered 8-figure salaries to con people, and turned them down every time. Bicycle sends him cases of cards and trusts his opinion on card quality implicitly. The greatest magicians in the world respect him as the greatest card master to have ever lived. When P&T saw his name, they knew they'd be fooled and were just there to enjoy the show and be blown away by how absolutely perfectly he performs.
There are a bunch of videos of him on RUclips, they're worth watching.
Penn “I’ve never seen moves like that never”.
Richard "Makes two of us."
Beyond Legendary !!! The G.O.A.T. Never will anyone surpass Richard Turner.
I've seen sighted magicians that can't control the cards that nicely. What a skill!!!!
Thanks for sharing
Dealing the second card off the deck, P&T were agog trying to spot it while he was doing it. When you can call your shots and let them get right up close like that and still pull it off in slow motion, that's an incredible skill.
richard turner is the best person alive with card's so you'd struggle to find someone better haha
SimonQX well your other senses get better when you lose one. So his hands can probably easily move around those cards. The hard part was probably getting used to which card was which.
It's honestly probably easier to control the cards for him in terms of the different moves cause blind people are amazing with their other senses vs most people so his sense of touch is amazing
I think the card were marked with micro-braille descriptions of each card.
When he started second-dealing with one hand. O_O
watch Paul Wilson. He also has a very good dealing routine
Trystaticus it's a bottom deal i think
Khorn II it's possible to second deal with 1 hand. It's just a lot harder
+Khorn II
If you pause-and-unpause really fast, you can see that he does, in fact, deal the second card in the deck with one hand. He very quickly raises the top card and then flips the second card out from underneath it.
Well. i was pretty sure already he wasn't dealing the first
Richard explains what he will do and Teller at 3:56 already askes for the trophy.
Richard Turner is a living legend. Probably one of the best, if not *the* best, card mechanic to ever live.
I lost count how many times I watched this master of cards fool my childhood heroes. I do understand how dealing seconds works (I'm practicing it because of Sir Richard) but the way he's able to juggle the whole damn deck at will is just mind boggling. I'd bet he also intentionally made that three of clubs appear...
They both knew they were fooled before they sat at that table.
Mr. Turner is the best there ever was and most likely ever will be at what he does. He does things thought impossible until he came along. His teacher would purposely give him impossible tasks and he would do them anyway. A legend.
Admittedly , if I recall correctly, it took him years to master. There is a video floating around where he talks about how the guy that taught him told him how he did tricks and then when Turner mastered the technique his teacher said, btw, I lied, I don't do tricks that way, nobody does, we only thought it was theoretically possible.
That's 100 percent not true. They know how this trick is done. You can see him not shuffling or cutting the deck. This is all basic false shuffles/cuts, but he's the best at it. They can't tell an old blind legend in front of thousands that they know how it's done. It would be too disrespectful. Just Google how this trick is done, it'll all basic techniques combined together. They know this.
@@AA-yx4tl So you only watched the first part of the video? That is not the impressive part, the impressive part is where he has them wash the cards and then deals a winning hand. He either had to switch in an entirely new deck without them noticing or he was able to identify the cards while shuffling/cutting and set the deck. That is what people are referring to.
Ahmad Arab literally only the first thing where he kept the order was a false shuffle, they literally shuffled it
@@Nomad_Skateboarding They told you that did they? I doubt very much they knew how he did everything he did. I have seen Penn and Teller fooled by no name magicians using obvious techniques. But feel free to tell us how he did it since you are in the know.
Turner has been around for decades. He is one of the greatest ever. He is on another level, such as other big names such as Ricky Jay. Fantastic.
Nothing compared to Shin Lim.
This is card cheating, wtf you talking about Shin Lim.
This guy is a card mechanic. And he's fucking BLIND. He and shin aren't even in the same business.
Shin isn't even in the same league as Turner... Read Fooling Houdini by Alex Stone. Has a section on Turner. This is how I was introduced to this living legend. Truly the greatest of all time.
@@Pagnah way better than shin lim u idiot
Currently binge watching clips from this show, and I have to say:
Good stuff, sir. Easily the best performance I've seen.
This guy is by far my favorite guest that's ever been on Fool Us.
It is ASTONISHING how smooth his sleight of hand is. And to be blind on top of it is just mind-blowing.
I just love Teller's "bring down the trophy" after the one handed deal
That's how I look when everything is smothered in cheese
7:59 "i've never seen moves like that"..
neither has richard....
Class
Oof
@@inflatablemattress2 r/wooosh
@@inflatablemattress2 But hes only started doing card stuff after becoming blind
Bruhhhhhhhhhhh
I return to this video about once a month. It blows me away every time.
I love how Teller looked almost giddy when he was showing them the seconds-deal.
He even tells you how he's going to do it and then does it REALLY slow and I STILL couldn't see it. The second dealing was unreal. Absolutely unreal. Then doing it one-handed. I just tried it. Yeah, no. Not even close. That is amazing.
Look again, you can see that he pushes the top card to make the card beneath it move back, lightens his push in the reverse direction so that the bottom card remains out and deals it, then repeats.
@@GlennMcGrewII Congrats, you know the method, now do it half as cleanly as he can, and do it blindfolded.
@@ethancooper1056 why?
@@GlennMcGrewII because he's blind lmfao
@@ethancooper1056 he was just pointing out the method. Why are you so hostile?
Just want ya'll to know he learned from the man that fooled Hodini. The literal god of card fixing. This isn't mere magic tricks, it's literally 4-6 magic tricks to make the one move fast enough and make all seem-less. Then he did another 6 magic tricks to fix and set the next move. Literally said it was nearly impossible to do unless the person put the hours in and now we know he needed to be blind. It helped him focus the craft of touch ect. And if he messed up once for Teller and Penn they'd see, but the tricks are too insane and slight for magicians to pick up all of them for a reason, to fix the game 100%. Some people know alot of moves, Richard Turner knows them all. Because he is blind, he will never fall into other's wrong dealings as well. Literally his curse became a godly gift for his craft.
Yes! Someone here that knows how incredible Richard Turner is. He's a living legend.
So..he’s like the absolute best in the world..😁
@@evanabbott2737 Yes pretty much.
Dang that was incredible well said!
Not to mention his tricks are what Dai Vernon considered impossible to do
4:41 Penn let's loose a quiet "Wow."
5:10 Teller's face
5:20 Teller says "Bring down the trophy"
Just never get tired of this video he's a class act
same
I'm sorry but martial arts plus card magic = card ninja. That's science..
Siris Mc That's Ryan Hayashi
@@StolenPH Ryan Hayashi is a teacher and a magician not a martial artist. It isn't necessary that you're a martial artist if you're asian.
@@cardmaniak2316 Actually Hayashi is a martial artist as he has a black belt :)
Just to be clear, did he earn a black belt in a martial art, or did he purchase a belt that happens to be black? I have 6 black belts in my closet, most of them leather, none of them from martial arts.
@@kaldo_kaldo he won it......
I think I know how he does it.... he's actually a wizard.
or he can actually see and is playing the biggest Fool on Us
Only there are documentaries about him, and he's renowned as a 'blind magician'. Try again.
Ever watch the Prestige - the fishbowl trick?
Joshua Cragan your an idiot.
Ryan H. you're*, who's the idiot now...
I just keep coming back to this one so I can share in Penn and Teller‘s bewildered amazement. Richard Turner is a legend among legends and an inspiration without peer.
This is literally the best act I’ve seen not only on this show, but in my life
Turner: "As you've heard, I'm not a magician, I'm a card mechanic".
Truth: He's not a magician, he's a wizard.
He's a what
@@The-Big-Boss A wizard.
This is like a Navy Seal volunteering to be a mall security guard for a day. The shoplifters turned into a body count at the end of the day.
No he's the devil
@@dylangrover7285 no it’s 18hrs of practice a day for 25 years straight, similar to craps dice throwers who can throw thousands of times without ever rolling a 7. The human body is much more capable than u think. Plus if the devil was real why in the fuck would it choose a card shark.
Those were some of the BEST false shuffles and controls i've ever seen wow
this guy is amazing
Yeah and the 1 handed false shuffles and "cuts" back to neutral..... just as convincing 1 HANDED!!!
i still cant even SHUFFLE with one hand that well
to think he can cut it perfectly back to normal
amazing
Yeah but how did he get the cards into the order he wanted after Teller shuffled? He did a few cuts but wtf?
he says himself he can feel stuff most people can't feel
most likely those cards have special backs
I was a bit surprised when Teller gave out a full laugh.
4:45 love how they are just LIVING in that dealing seconds shit lmao theyre like kids
im procrastinating right now. thank you for inspiring me not to blind black-belt-karate-magician. back to work, right after this video...
Lol
same!
just one more...
FRANKIEandEMILY I'm procrastinating every time I watch Fool Us on RUclips.
Same!
FRANKIEandEMILY bbb
This dude straight up told me what he was gonna do and i still couldnt see it.
Got hustled by a blind man :)
Wow. I watched this twice back-to-back. What an incredible demonstration of skill and talent by Richard Turner. And there’s something so special about watching Penn and Teller react in the way that they do.
Even though I can clearly see how he does his second deals theres just no way I can ever recreate it at that level. Thats out of this world card handling. Respect.
The small chuckle in penn's voice as he says "that's another king"
also when Richard starts dealing under the 7 of hearts slowly, you can hear Teller laughing to himself
I've seen a couple of long performances of Richard Turner, he is amazing.
There is somethig really beautiful about watching a man like this fool Penn and Teller, he's spent his life dedicating himself to being the best there is and the look of joy on Teller when he gets fooled and the emotion that man must be feeling, the joy, I find very moving
Turner was incredible
You're such an incredible person with so much will. So powerful and inspiring. The magic is just the icing on the cake.
I have no doubt, none, that he dealt the three of clubs on purpose, knowing it was Penn's favorite card. He also noted what the score was going to be in Blackjack ahead of time-- no one seems to have caught that in the comments. Amazing stuff.
The thing is, that card is their Force card. It tells the audience: You didn’t really have a choice, we made it for you.
So for him to use that card suggests there was a force involved. But the only one I can find is when he gave one hand to Teller. He has them both wash the halves and the whole before handing it to him. Even if the sides have ridges that identify the card, no fishy shuffles happened, and any second card deal that isn’t from near the top in the first place would be caught immediately.
You and me both
@@LocalMaple He doesnt touch hands as his hands are his eyes. He is the quality control guy for playing cards as he can feel up to thousandth of an inch difference that each card is.
Ur Kryptoknight I figured most of that. The issue is dealing cards that ensure Teller wins. Unless the “dealing seconds” is close enough to the top, Penn and Teller will notice it. Which means the washed cards got organized into a good top deck; something hard to believe if the center had a near flush and 3 royals; 2 kings. And 2 other royals in the other hands; Teller got the last 2 Kings. For him to get the 4 Kings on top, with no shuffle, out of 20 cards, is low.
To calculate the odds, he has to hit the first King within the first 6 cards or maybe 3 down from the top. 9/52 or 17.3%. Then for the next hand king, even assuming he did second deal past a king, he had about a 16/51, or 31.37% at absolute best; 9/46 or 19.56% at worst. Then he has to find a King within about 7 cards, 7/42 or 16.66% at worst. One burn and the other King: 5/40 or 12.5%.
And I didn’t even consider calculate having to avoid giving any other hand a straight; one hand did have a Nine and Queen to connect to the pot’s Jack and King (with no 10 or Ace for the straight).
Do you want to calculate how low all those odds are when multiplied together? Suddenly 20 cards (plus second deals) to get 4 doesn’t seem as likely.
Unless those cuts after Teller ensured those cards in order, in which case me saying “the Three of Clubs is the card Penn and Teller use to signify a Force” is true; those pre-game cuts moved the cards to places that will become top as the game shuffles began.
@@LocalMaple he can also pull any card he wants from anywhere in the deck
I got nervous when they handed a blind guy a very sharp looking trophy
I'm pretty sure it caught him off guard lmfao he felt it and was like "oh wow"
Yeah if he's isn't careful he'll poke his eye out.
@KingJay maybe that's his true Magic trick. Make everyone go blind.
@@notednuance He don't need them anyway. (I am going to hell)
"Procrastination and laziness"
Me: procrastinating by watching this video
Also he made this so entertaining to watch, a lot of people do that on the show. It really is great.
Absolute legend! You’re a master, Mr. Turner, and one of the most inspirational people ever.
