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.
@@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 UA-cam 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?
@@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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
@@heathersejnow 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?
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" ;-)
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.
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.
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 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
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"
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.
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
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!
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.
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 UA-cam, they're worth watching.
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.
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
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.
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.
@@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.
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
@@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
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.
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.
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
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
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Was able to see Mr. Turner up close and personal. He would teach a class on card magic at a local summer camp for kids. I volunteered every week to help out in his class while working at this camp. I was surprised that not many counselors wanted to help out in his class, but hey, made it easier for me to get the spot. Mr. Turner, hope you and your son Asa are doing great and wish the best of luck to yall. It was an honor being able to work with you at that summer camp.
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.
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
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.
I used to have a blind computing professor. One of the wisest men I've known. His computer would speak aloud to tell him what was happening on screen. However, whenever he was doing a lecture, so as to not bother the students, he would turn off the voiceover and navigate it completely blind. And he wasn't just going through presentations, he was using multiple pieces of software. I was always amazed at his accuracy, purely off memory, with no feedback at all
The balls to tell them exactly how you do it while you're doing it is impressive. To even end it with the whole 13 ways you figure it out speech was just icing on the cake.
Phillip Hodges i watched another video with this dude and they were filming what he was doing through the bottom of a glass table and they were asking him "are you sure you want people to see how you do this?" And he said "even if they figure it out nobody can do what i do." Dudes a fuckin card gangster
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.
for those that dont know, this is the single BEST card mechanic to ever live, Professor Dai Vernon (the man that fooled Harry Houdini) had literally taught him moves the way he wished they were possible, he believed that these things could never be done, and because of how obsessive Richard is he learned to do them the impossible way. Dai Vernon would constantly be trying to get Richard to show more people his routine and was constantly baffled. The moves that Richard perform are literally impossible for anyone else to do (unless you also spend 10-20 hours a day for 40-50 years practicing)
10 - 20 hours a day doesn't help in this case. Only talents helps. Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect, only talents makes perfect practice you know.
@@chongliu1715 you're just plain wrong. Natural born talent isnt a thing. You have to work hard to make that talent real. This man wasnt magically born to be this good at cards. He worked and worked and worked to get there. Calling it natural born talent is just a insult to all the hours and hours he worked.
I've seen all of these controls, "hustles," moves, what have you. But this blind dude did them all the smoothest way I have ever seen. So smooth I missed most all of em, even with the knowledge of exactly what he was doing xD Super props to this guy!!! Thanks for sharing it!
There is very slight differences between each card with most decks (such as the layer of colouring been different to the rest of the card, if that makes sense.), but I doubt anyone's able to feel that difference so quickly. I have no idea. :3
Senorsqueaky my thoughts exactly. I know every move he was doing and was still unable to actually see any of it being done except the false riffles which were so smooth that i could hardly even catch that. Hes a true master.
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.
@@Mylifewithdoves 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 :) :)
+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.
Penn & Teller: Fool Us, the perfect go-to show for your daily dose of wonder & humility. 3:50 Even Teller cannot resist the urge to feel like a kid again! BRING DOWN THE TROPHY!
Ikr, everytime Teller has that expression you know you won XD I mean even Penn admits his the smart one :D So to see even Teller have that shock expression helped made this performance .
@@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.
2:50 I can't get over how chipper and happy he sounds when he says "Well, we did it then, Penn!" I don't know there's something about the way he says it that puts a smile on my face whenever I watch him say it again.
This is the only time that P&T overtly showed that they knew they would be fooled from the very beginning and were just along for the ride, spectating for their own pleasure. The multiple camera angles and close-ups just make the smoothness and dexterity even more impressive. Yah, if you know what to look for, you may see some things happening, but the real magic is that Richard can actually DO that. Clearly, a true master of his art.
Yah, Penn was chuckling through the whole thing, and Teller looked like a kid in a free-candy shop all the way. Sometimes, they bring on a master like Richard for inspirational purposes... plus, they get to have him in their Vegas show to "wow" a wider audience. It's a kind of "showcasing the great ones" to advertise how far certain specialties in the art can go, and to encourage younger magicians to strive for that greatness.
Just watched the 'Dealt' film and I have to say this man might just be the most incredible human being I have ever come across, or indeed am ever likely to come across, in my procrastinatingly lazy life. Thank you Mr. Turner.
Wow came across this by coincidence. My farther has been in show business for decades and is a good friend of Mr. Turner’s. My dad would always show me pictures of them hanging out and tell stories about some of the incredible stuff he does. One thing that always stuck with me is my dad told me you could have a stack of cards right by Mr. Turner and tell him any number between 1 in 52. And he immediately reaches over, grabs what appears to be a random number of cards and put them right in front of you in 1 smooth fast motion and it’s always the exact amount you just said in cards. Amazing stuff.
Within the circle of card magicians that's actually quite an achievable trick; I myself can usually get within 3 cards if I take a few seconds to feel it out; I'm sure Richard Turner has perfected it. Turner's skill is better represented in how easily he can do these dealing tricks such as the second deal (dealing second top card) because it's incredibly difficult to do well and he does it so easily.
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.
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.
That guy is pure fucking gold. Very few people in the world can do what he did. He is one of the greatest I have ever seen. Seriously flawless. Also, Alyson is still hot as hell.
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!

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.

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.
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

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.

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.

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.

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 UA-cam, they're worth watching.

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.
"You can't tell you've been swindled... AiNt tHaT FuN?"
Teller: *50000% fooled*
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.
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.

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.
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

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.

10 - 20 hours a day doesn't help in this case. Only talents helps. Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect, only talents makes perfect practice you know.
@@chongliu1715 I'm sorry but practice does make the closest thing to perfect not just talent.
@@chongliu1715 Proper practice makes perfect, don't need talent for proper practice.
@@chongliu1715 you're just plain wrong. Natural born talent isnt a thing. You have to work hard to make that talent real. This man wasnt magically born to be this good at cards. He worked and worked and worked to get there. Calling it natural born talent is just a insult to all the hours and hours he worked.
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
I've seen all of these controls, "hustles," moves, what have you. But this blind dude did them all the smoothest way I have ever seen. So smooth I missed most all of em, even with the knowledge of exactly what he was doing xD Super props to this guy!!! Thanks for sharing it!
How does he know which cards are which? Please for the love of God someone tell me.
There is very slight differences between each card with most decks (such as the layer of colouring been different to the rest of the card, if that makes sense.), but I doubt anyone's able to feel that difference so quickly. I have no idea. :3
+Al Kitau he is probably marking them on the fly in a way that only he knows how, a slight indent with the fingernail or what not.
It's beyond perfection the way he smoothly does his work.
Senorsqueaky my thoughts exactly. I know every move he was doing and was still unable to actually see any of it being done except the false riffles which were so smooth that i could hardly even catch that. Hes a true master.
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.
@@Mylifewithdoves 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?
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
The joy on his face when they said he fooled them almost made me cry cause of how wholesome it was
Only blind guy that gets the SWAT team called on him just for walking through a casino.
Except you don’t get to shuffle or deal the cards in the casino
Grand Theft Auto 3 stars for sure.
This guy actually gets paid by casino's to spot cheaters
@@Chzydawg I don't think he does much of spotting anyone
@@Outspacey what I mean is he shows methods that cheaters use to security so they can spot them
I love when teller turns into an excited snapping turtle
Talented, friendly, humble
Nothing but respect for this guy, I have great vision and I disappoint myself on a daily basis.
When a mute and a blind man tries to communicate, it's good that they have penn there to help.
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
Penn & Teller: Fool Us, the perfect go-to show for your daily dose of wonder & humility. 3:50 Even Teller cannot resist the urge to feel like a kid again!
BRING DOWN THE TROPHY!
Chuck PK He's so happy 😂😂
Ikr, everytime Teller has that expression you know you won XD I mean even Penn admits his the smart one :D So to see even Teller have that shock expression helped made this performance .
He was asking for a closer camera shot
Not Tellinya watch his lips. He's saying trophy
His right ear is not that fine tuned to read lips.
I've seen a couple of long performances of Richard Turner, he is amazing.
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.
2:50 I can't get over how chipper and happy he sounds when he says "Well, we did it then, Penn!" I don't know there's something about the way he says it that puts a smile on my face whenever I watch him say it again.
agreed.. but dont let that fool you, he´s a full blown shark
I know what you mean, it's as if you are on his team and you helped in some way.
If there's one thing that scares the devil in all men, it's a card-playing, blind man with a smile on his face.
This is the only time that P&T overtly showed that they knew they would be fooled from the very beginning and were just
along for the ride, spectating for their own pleasure. The multiple camera angles and close-ups just make the smoothness and dexterity even more impressive. Yah, if you know what to look for, you may see some things happening, but the real magic is that Richard can actually DO that. Clearly, a true master of his art.
well, teller Asked for the trophy really early on, and seemed surprised that the trick was still going on, so who knows.
They know who he is. The first thing Penn said to Turner was, "It's an honor".
Yah, Penn was chuckling through the whole thing, and Teller looked like a kid in a free-candy shop all the way. Sometimes, they bring on a master like Richard for inspirational purposes... plus, they get to have him in their Vegas show to "wow" a wider audience. It's a kind of "showcasing the great ones" to advertise how far certain specialties in the art can go, and to encourage younger magicians to strive for that greatness.
I loved Teller's reaction throughout the whole thing!
To be true, it's basically the best slight of hand / card mechanic on this planet.
UA-cam keeps bringing me back to this episode, once every few months. And I will watch it every time.
Just watched the 'Dealt' film and I have to say this man might just be the most incredible human being I have ever come across, or indeed am ever likely to come across, in my procrastinatingly lazy life. Thank you Mr. Turner.
Wow came across this by coincidence. My farther has been in show business for decades and is a good friend of Mr. Turner’s. My dad would always show me pictures of them hanging out and tell stories about some of the incredible stuff he does.
One thing that always stuck with me is my dad told me you could have a stack of cards right by Mr. Turner and tell him any number between 1 in 52. And he immediately reaches over, grabs what appears to be a random number of cards and put them right in front of you in 1 smooth fast motion and it’s always the exact amount you just said in cards. Amazing stuff.
Within the circle of card magicians that's actually quite an achievable trick; I myself can usually get within 3 cards if I take a few seconds to feel it out; I'm sure Richard Turner has perfected it. Turner's skill is better represented in how easily he can do these dealing tricks such as the second deal (dealing second top card) because it's incredibly difficult to do well and he does it so easily.
farther??
I was kinda hoping for him to say "don't worry, I'll keep my eyes shut"
2:56
His dealing from the second is about the best I've ever seen
"Procrastination and laziness is the worst disability of all"
Me: Hey I'm not disabled, YOU'RE disabled
Me 5 minutes later: Never mind
now, can i go to social services with this video and apply for disability? i mean, if a blind guy says its a disability it must be.
How can anyone give this a thumbs down.......obviously they don't recognise amazing talent when they see it
They where blind and pressed the wrong button.
Maybe they didn't like the trick
Just miserable people who have to share their negativity
Warren Tredaway probably bc they've been taken by a skilled card dealer. Just butt hurt.
The thumbs down came from the card hustlers
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)
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.
"I now have 10 eyeballs"
My god ... Batman's most dangerous enemy!
This whole clip was just so wholesome my face hurts from smiling so much.
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.
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.
People need to have more compassion for us procrastinating and lazily disabled
Triggered! How dare you! LMAO
I know, right?!
Imma go apply for my handicap parking placard now.
@@SumNutOnU2b No you won't. It's been 4 weeks and you still haven't done it. Stop procrastinating. xD
Yes! And the government should give us lots and lots of money.
when he deals keeping heart on top, he's basically doing the moonwalk with his fingers. amazing.
Highly underrated Comment
That guy is pure fucking gold. Very few people in the world can do what he did. He is one of the greatest I have ever seen. Seriously flawless.
Also, Alyson is still hot as hell.
If i could give you two thumbs up, I would.
I gave him one for you.
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!
Love how teller facial expression. He is mesmerized
Rarely do you see Teller bemused/astonished by close up card magic. Richard Turner is utterly amazing.
i love the "so you can tell you've been swindled, it'd that fun?" ha, guy's a boss
Beyond Legendary !!! The G.O.A.T. Never will anyone surpass Richard Turner.
