    I saw this guy back when I was in college. I still tell folks how I brought my own deck of cards, shuffled them, handed them to him, and then watched as he dealt out 7 poker hands calling out what he was going to deal. Blew my mind away. His sense of touch is superhuman.

      Switched decks. He fake shuffles and cuts a lot. His cards are marked by something small he can feel.his misdirection is perfect, it’s that he is blind.

      Mr Self destruct He is very good but not the most impressive when you know how it’s done. There are guys that can literally do anything. Goes hand in hand with time of course. Most of the elite guys have had minimum 20 years of perfection, some 30+

      His sense of touch is as good as everyone else has. It's just that we don't really use our sense of touch to the degree he does, he has however no sight so he isn't as distracted by visual information as we are. The human touch is impeccably precise, we can literally sense a difference in height of a flat object when the difference is just one atom higher. We don't really have a need for it though, and don't really develop a use for it though. Nor do we think about it, or need to analyze that sensory input, we use vision for so much more things that our other senses are pretty much neglected, except for the olfactory sense, because that's literally the most primal sense, as it's directly wired to our brain, Touch is the oldest sense but it's so bombarded with sensory data that we don't really notice it.
      We can feel each atom of air hitting us, but since it's always hitting us, it feels pretty normal. The same thing goes with bacteria on our skin and in our body, always forcing sensory inputs, so we neglect it. It feels so fresh after we have showered, because so much stuff is gone from our bodies, so many impurities... but yeah... to actually use the senses like Richard does is truly amazing, it's not superhuman, it's just that most of us don't have the need to use our senses like he does.

      What he does might be impossible if he were sighted. His blindness really enhances his sense of touch and I highly doubt he would have developed it if he were sighted. I'm sure he'd still be really good, but there are a bunch of moves that only he can do because of his sense of touch

  • @lronWill
    @lronWill 7 років тому +4

    The Queen or Deuce trick at 0:36 in is nothing more than a lack of attention on the victim's part. The dealer relies on our laziness with dimensional observation. We notice the queen is left and the 2 is right, and the dealer is betting that this is all our mind is concerned about. So with the quick twitch of the wrist, he simply slides the two to their opposing positions, and 2 is now on the left (from the victim's PoV). However, if a person paid attention to detail you would see that the queen is the bottom of the two cards. Fast forward to where he asks him to now pick the queen out, and you will see that the bottom card is now on the right side. That's the queen. Most illusions like these are capitalized on by our lack of attention to detail.
    Taking nothing from Mr. Turner, he is an incredible mechanic with playing cards. I could never dedicate my life to one thing the way he has.

Watch Penn and Teller washboard shuffle his deck and he can still deal a perfect winning hand to a specific person.

    I have actually mastered the Turner Sweep Second. I have also developed sweeping techniques for bottom, second from bottom and centre deals. I am tempted to put the exact methods out in book or video form because it's a secret well worth doing. It has been the result of almost a decade of practice in dealing techniques and thousands of hours.

      I believe Bruce Lee had a similar quote he followed. I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
