It's called the Turner push-off second deal. He kind of developed his own original way to second deal and nobody can pull that off because of the fact that he developed such an amazing skill that all it takes is a little touch(that's how he explains it) on that card.Also Bicycle worked with him because of the fact that he provided them details about the playing cards that they never thought of and as a reward he has a lifetime supply of cards(the standard gold).
Damn that's ridiculous!
Stefan Bistriceanu The standard gold decks are the decks that get manufactured with Richard Turner's trademark on them.

Ok, so ... good for him, right? Until other blind motherfuckers start doing sick magic tricks, he's pretty fuckin' awesome.
You do realise that the 2nd deal is a faint, right? His 2nd deal is amazing! I love it! But for the actual performance, he's bottom dealing. 100% I can prove it if you want me to. If you do, let me know and i'll show you how you can tell that he's bottom dealing. Ed Marlo helped me massively for the bottom deal "tells".
Also, this could be done with a 2nd deal. You're not guaranteed to get 4 of a kind though. You're more than likely going to get a full house. It's called the Punch Deal - made popular - maybe even founded by - Walter Irving Scott. I practised the hell out of this deal. I can do it flawlessly. Literally took me nearly 2 years practising every day for between 10 minutes and an hour a day! My bottom deal is terrible! But my 2nd deal is perfect.
Turner was honest saying he isn't a magician...but a card mechanic in its highest form....watch a few more of his performances and you find out he worked with the legendary Dai Vernon, and for many years practicing his craft from 10 to 20 hours a day 7 days a week! He started going blind at age 9. He is also the "touch analyst" for US Playing cards. They supply him thousands of decks for free of course. My favorite skill he has is asking a spectator to name a number from 10 to 40 and he instantly ONE HANDED cuts that exact number from the deck for them to count. I've never seen him miss by even one card!! By the way Dai Vernon said that nobody in the world past or present has been close to his skill level.
DARYL DIETRICH z
there will never be anyone same hes superhuman
Just FYI, Penn and Teller have sworn in interviews that they never let someone slide just because they like them. They were saying they'd have loved to have Piff the Magic Dragon, for example, in their show, but they figured it out. So, according to them, at least, they never let someone by out of respect or anything.
I didn't know this, thanks for letting me know!
They loved Piff and slammed him super fast. On his podcast Penn has said winning doesn't me crap it all about wowing viewers and winning is being liked by the audience. Fooling Penn is now easy feat but fooling Teller is impressive although that's no really the point. The point is exposure and showmanship since anyone who cares can find out how to perform the tricks even if they can't actually do them.
Also Piff was/is the true winner of season one even though he's at best a restaurant table magician , but he's a near perfect 10 when it comes to performance. Patter and showmanship is much more important then actual skill, just look at Kriss Angel, (terrible at best but the girls love him).
There are some pretty amazing Restaurant performers. One of the best Michael Skinner worked Lilly Langtrees for the Golden Nugget for years.
The show in the early seasons (UK) was rigged so that very few people were foolers. As the show has gotten larger, there's more leeway for foolers based on stage presence. However they've said they will NEVER lie if they know how its done. More than once they've said they wanted people on their show because of the performance but knew how it was done.
He's clearly an 8th generation wizard. For those not familiar; that's a Sorcerer.
*Sourcerer
Saucerer*
No, it's the eighth son of the eighth son of the eighth son...
@Oliver M Nope... That's wrong
@Hakyar Khalaf
Also wrong...
Watch the rest of Richard Turner's vids here on UA-cam. You'd be even *MORE* amazed. There's also this hour-long video of a talk he did in MIT where he talked at length about how he got where he is.
When he finished doing the 2nd card deal teller was like bring down the FU trophy 😂 4:55
Haha it really was crazy tho
Pretty sure he was just trying to "say" that the cameras weren't doing him justice, as in even with both of them so close what Turner was doing is literally the best slight of hand in the world.
4:33 The throwaway line "I have a 14" is insane even by itself.
Well the cards were still in new deck order at the time but I've seen him do it even with a shuffled deck lol
Simple: Hard Work ! hours and hours of training, being able to deal from the middle of the pack ! watch his documentary DEALT.
Richard Turner is a living legend when it come to cards. Anyone below the age 30 who says they do most of his moves is lying. :O/ There are not to many people on this planet that are on Richard Turner`s level.
Katalyzt
Well I'm sure there are plenty of people that do his moves, but definitely very few do them as well as he :)
@@EduardTodor you dont know shit about richard turner little kid. He techniques are original !
@@EduardTodor No man you need to understand. Richard Turner is several leagues above his nearest competitor. He's not one of the best. He's the best.
When I was young and still had proper feeling in my fingers, I could float 3 and deal "4ths," with a margin (what you call "brief") like that, but I had to pull them from the front to do it, and the fingernails had to be filed perfect for the day. What's amazing about Richard is that he's kicking the 2nd from behind the back corner and pushing it diagonally, so the front of the deck is always exposed, always clean, and human hands really shouldn't be able to do that, especially in later years. As for doing it 1-handed... um... fuck you? :)
He's also using using those strip-cuts and asymmetric riffles to set up not only 2nds but also bottoms and middles simultaneously. Yah, sometimes he's mid-dealing, and I never even tried that. Ricky Jay (in his "52 Assistants" show) told the tale of how rare and absurd that is. To do it at full speed while still running his patter is just insane. That is the essence of grand-mastery. Even assuming the deck may be shaved or canted or treated somehow, to do it so leisurely while precisely measuring and restacking the deck sections by touch alone is just mind-boggling.
I think Teller's expressions do tell the tale: It doesn't matter if you know what or how he must be doing it. You didn't see it. You didn't catch it. It all just melted together, and Richard controls the outcome. I'd play with him and even lose some money just to see it (not) happening...
Sometimes the magic is "what you don't know." Sometimes, however, the magic is just how much a person can achieve in an art form. Personally, I prefer the latter.
if only he could see him self how awesome he is
I think he can feel it haha
There's no way that they gave him a pass. They do have their credibility at stake after all.
I'm sure you've watched it several times by now, his hands never left the tabletop.
I met him in the early 80's at my stepfathers home. It was amazing watching him examining decks for thickness uniformity and using different cards to index each deck. I filmed him using a higher speed camera, and it was hard to spot seconds, centers, or bottoms fly off the deck. With no doubt one of the most humble and nicest person I've ever met.
He does a move at 5:39 which I believe removes the 4 kings from the deck and puts them on top. You can see from Teller's reaction that he clearly noticed it.
@@ruanpingshan yeah you can guesses that's what hes doing but how would you know where in the deck those 4 kings is? the deck just been washes remember?
@@lehoang5869 he could have copped the kings earlier in the routine and then readded them at this point. It's difficult to say because of camera angles and cuts.
I saw him live back in the day. This video doesn't even begin to demonstrate his skill. He was going easy on Penn and Teller.
Penn knows who he is, which is why he said "it's an honor" about 4 times as he joined him at the table.
he has hundreds of decks of cards.. he works for card companys to make the decks better. he can read the cards with his fingers. amazing stuff.
That's awesome. I mean he definitely can't read the cards with his fingers but I know what you mean.
I honestly think that he can. He is blind, he feels things differently than we do. The fact that he chooses to do kings instead of aces gives the same idea as well. He needs cards that have a lot of ink on them. Just an idea.. :)
Eduard Todor He actually can.
he actually can. and kings have a bit of a different print than other cards. you can feel them more easily
i saw him do the same thing with 2s, which was chosen by the participant. He can do it with any number.
I love that Richards so technically gifted that this guy being an actual magician makes it harder for him to understand it.
It's probably been mentioned. But youtube Richard Turner at MIT. He goes over quite a bit and it's all on the up and up. His hands are so sensitive he can judge cards in stacks. He can just pinch the cards between his fingers and just know how many cards. Another one would be how the mafia (guy nicknamed "Diamond") tried to get him to work for the mob.
He's just that damn good! Amazing Life! Makes others whining about petty issues seem rather stupid, considering how this guy has never let anything or anyone slow him down.
That guy is amazing,blind and handling cards like that....I have to say it "Mad Respect "
for sure, 100% behind this dude
Being blind would seem to make handling cards like that so much harder. Although as others have said, losing one sense can enhance others.
But what I find genuinely incredible is how he *learnt* to do that in the first place without sight.
Not being able to follow in a mirror and see how angles work out, or simply see how the cards look in your hand seems like an impossible barrier to me.
Heck, I can barely get the cards out of the case and into my hands with eyes closed! Truely an inspirational performance.
don't know if u saw Richard Turner at Valuetainment but watch it! He tells some really unbelievable stories and explains a lot too. When u come to the point where he explains how he seperates the cards (he fells the thickness of cards) and does the second-deal, u really see, that he is the best in what he is doing. BTW Richard Turner has a black belt in Karate
I love this guy
Why is he wearing a watch though.
Eduard, love your videos. Check out this video on UA-cam: Cardmen's Get Together. It features Richard Turner, Steve Forte, Paul Wilson and others. Turner shows up close his push off second dealing. It also shows him second dealing with different techniques. The video is 50 min. long, Turner starts second dealing at 5:47.
He's blind and 4 times your age playing with cards his whole life blind since age 9, keep trying dude but you can't get to his level. No one will ever be able to. he feels the cards and knows how every card feels and no matter how scrambles they are he can get em back in the order he wants to. He's a card mechanic, he says it and that's what he does.
That's Richard Turned my friend. The greatest card mechanic who has ever lived. No argument. He teaches many of these methods in his instructional videos. Obviously we have no hope of being as good at them as he is. I can assure you there were no card doubles, props, or gimmicks in any way. I 100% know this.
i'm genuinely wanting to know why richard turner has a watch
because he when he presses the button on it it speaks the time to him, or he just likes to look good.
I expect he can lift the cover and feel the hands on the face of the watch to tell the time. Pretty standard piece of kit for a blind person.
It's a Rolex and he likes it, simple as that. Source: know him
bullshit, you dont know him
wait a minute, i KNOW you Zachary, you were that kid in school who was a compulsive liar, well holy shit youre still at it
The sad thing is you know enough to not know he does not at all like being referred to as blind... do some research...
"He just put me in my place!"
YES HE DOES!
hahaha
The majority of that routine is from Turner's "the cheat" routine that he performed regularly at the magic castle. I've seen it dozens of times, but I still love it every time I see it. You're right that the deck was gaffed... N-strippers. He'd have to have stripped the cards to the specifc, advantageous positions at the top and bottom of the deck, so that he could second deal and/or base deal to get the cards to Teller's hand. Brilliantly performed.
Jesal J It would have to be done extremely well, because Penn and Teller handled the deck themselves, and would be thinking the same thing when handling it.
you can handle the deck all you want , if you don't know exactly what you're looking for, it's pretty impossible to figure it out
Just rewatched the trick, at least one of the kings was still in the pile when they washed them (the King of Hearts is clearly seen in Penn's half.)
Really great video! I like when Teller was trying to get them to bring down the trophy halfway through the routine! Such an incredible performance!
Haha I didn't even notice that, I thought he was talking about the overhead camera. 100%!
Nope definitely wanted that trophy half way through. Mad skills, and Teller was worshipping at the feet of greatness.
Happy Halloween happy Thanksgiving Jesus Birthday Party Christmas Time New year Eve New years fun John 3:16 Holy King James Bible
He is GOAT of card manipulation 😂😂 he can fool anyone 🔥🔥🔥
Just watch this video where he performs at MIT (ua-cam.com/video/qyV8Xw9TscA/v-deo.html )...
I just believe he can identify any card just by touching it.... By doing the shuffles after they gave him the deck, he just set up the Kings... and they did not have to be at top... they could've been in the middle.. anywhere in the pack...
He spent thousands of hours mastering his skills developing his own ways how to do it...
you may watch it again and again and all over again...
Richard Turner isn´t an illusionist nor magician, as he said himself:
I´m a card mechanic.
Period.
True. Still fooled them lol
4:55 I love how Teller already gave up:p
your fingers Man betrail your trick...and i have nothing to do with Magic or Trick Art or whatever u call it.....3 fingers ...goes to one finger...and its soooo obvious......But anyway i like yr Reaction Vids, keep up the good work
Ya know? It could all be Bullshit. I realize he's Documented as "Legally Blind" But THAT could be the illusion ???
Dai Vernon himself couldn't do the methods that Richard Turner uses because he himself thought they were impossible. Since Richard was blind, Dai described the methods to him the way he THOUGHT they should be done, not the way the Professor actually did them at the time. So Richard, not knowing any better, actually developed all his methods completely on his own from Dai's instructions. The man is, no holds barred, the best card mechanic of all time. Not one of the best, or even a toss-up between the top two. He. Is. Number. One. And I don't think anybody will ever come close to replicating his abilities or methods.
I'm thinking it's a punch, but I'm not sure. Could be crimped Kings and middles. The guy's false deals all look identical so it's hard to tell.
I don't believe they're coming from the bottom, just based on the shuffles before hand.
Simple. Used the stripper deck and dealed seconds,bottoms, whateveer he needed.
PS. By stripper I mean theres not only one kind of stripper decks.
PS2. Since he is blind, his tolerances are crazy, so strippers coul be done by half millimeter P&T would never notice
Turner is a legend, but I love watchng Danieal Maddison bottom, second and amazingly middle deck deal...it is an impossibility that he does effortlessly...you watch it and the only way your brain can cope is to argue that it is cgi...but it ain't. He can deal four cards from ANY level of the deck, as fast as a dealer throwing cards out to five players.. insane shit.
You can read the book by Mr Turner. And you will know the method. And by the way look at some Daniel Madison DVD and book (mechanic it's the best) and with a lot (and i say a lot) og practice you will be performing like them
Your breakdown is I’m thinking Magically. He’s not a magician he’s a Mechanic! Watch his documentary and you’ll understand! He can feel the cards and has a photographic memory. He doesn’t like to shake hands cause the oils off other people’s hands messes up his feel
Can you review Richard Turner To Catch-A-Thief 4. First he does the same sort of poker stacking the deck as here. But then he does the old pick a card. But he let's people say I want my card 23 cards down, and it is. Then he shuffles the deck, fans out cards face down, has a person pick a card and says it's that guy's card and it is. I can't understand how he could do that, the woman picked the card and I can't see how it could be forced.
After he retrieve the card from Teller, he starts touching the card in a "searching for something" way...
So maybe there is something that he can feel but we can't
There is a special deck of card where it's design to pull out the 4 kings easily and place those 4 King cards on the bottoms or where ever by pretending to shuffle. It's very easy. Now when dealing pokers, he deals from the top (random cards) to everyone hand, *but* when dealing for the host hand and rivers, the turns, those will be dealt *only* from the 4 Kings .... cards that are from the bottom.
I use to research nothing but gambling moves, cheats and owned a large collection of books.
He uses a variation of a technique that is really old and the variation is old as well. Dai Vernon who Turner was learning from was the first to bring it to the attention to the magic community. more than likely taught him it.
There were no steals, mucks, loads, crimps or switches of any kind. If you want to know more for research purposes the I suggest starting with Dai Vernon and his research into "card alterations". I dont give out sources publicly only privately..
he found the 4 kings from the shuffled deck in 8 seconds. after that the deck sits on the table the entire time until he picks it back up to do some false shuffles before dealing the pocket kings to Teller from the middle of the deck.
Couldn't fool Penn & teller, but the amateur magician can figure it out. That makes sense. You've explained nothing in any of these videos
The first trick. The 5 was behind the joker. Then at the very last second, you put the joker on the deck while you waving it across. Am i right?
If you wanna figure it out don't watch it again. Watch the documentary. It's just not tricks. it's pure skill that he can know the cards just by touching them and he can pick up exact amount of cards whenever he wants.
fantastic!:) even if he would be able to see, that has nothing to do with the thing he did there.it would still be too good to be called some average magician or something. he is as professional as you can get.Those hands worth millions.
I don't think he did any typical sleight of hand like switching decks or adding palmed cards... he's a 'card mechanic' not a magician
I noticed something when he was shuffling. He does the riffle but not entirely slides both halves in and then with the block cut he pulls out both halves again and puts them back in the original spot. Nice fake shuffle ;).
Great Video Eduard! I love Richard Turner! Here is a deck comparison featuring Turner's deck and the new Elite Edition. Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/kHRxxVAqhpM/v-deo.html
THank you! I'll check it out :)
The thing with stealing cards prior to the Penn and teller shuffling is.. Teller would have know if 2 cards were missing from that deck when he squared it.
simply hes using hes third eye to see ispiritually.coz hes blind.so his ispiritual sence is active...simply as that..hahaha,get it xD
If you watch really carefully when he deals the kings he is bottom dealing them. Took quite a few times to notice it, when he pulls the king of hearts @ 7:03 ish is when I spotted it first. You can also just about tell when he is dealing to teller. The whole showing of the second deal before hand was a misdirection of sorts and probably the set up for the steal @ 4:58 his hand goes down to his lap after messing with the cards, this is when he likely did the steal, when he got them back in is hard to tell maybe when he was making the joke about Penn being his translator to Teller and the cameras were off him.
mate your a magician so you say and you've never heard of Richard turner. the guy was blind from young age and he has extra sensory touch in his finger tips he can feel the cards and sort them at ultra speed baring in mind hes totally blind so how can you even think he forced or whatever you call it when hes blind how can he tell what each card his lol. they've made a film called dealt I would watch it
So you're just a nobody watching Penn & teller? Click bait, cool, or really
Why do you have so many dislikes?
the kings are present during the wash. you can spot them if you pause the video. so..... if they were stolen it happened after the wash. after they were mixed up he would have had to of found them by feel which he has the ability to do based off of the interview with card manufacturers.
I don't even 7nderstwnd what he was doing with the 7. I gotta watch that back. Go in to find the actual video. Subbed to your channel from this one.
Bruv. I really think that this one came down to them realizing that they could not recreate that level of skill.
I don’t think he used steals or switched decks. I think the cards are altered in a very fine way that you cant just feel by accident. Also he is just on another level.
His teqnique for dealing seconds was darn near flawless. His false shuffles and cuts I caught, but I knew to look for them. He did some of that on the poker hand. Still he didn't know how many hands he'd be dealing even if he did introduce a cold deck, but I don't think that's what he did. I think his fingers are actually sensative enough to tell the cards by just feeling the faces. With that and being able to do smooth manipulations on the shuffles and cuts, he could probably have dealt hands that were almost as good but wouldn't have beat the kings if he'd wanted to. He showed them how he could deal seconds and he had to have done some of that (maybe even thirds or fourths) and they still couldn't spot him doing it. You knew he was good when Teller reacted as he did during the initial demonstration.
He's blind... maybe the trick has to do with braille, maybe the kings have some marking on them that lets him catch them by feel
Eduard, you have got to react to this. While the start is pretty simple, the ending is killer. Plus, the reaction it gets is crazy. David Blaine on Jimmy Fallon with the Roots. ua-cam.com/video/Z8Ws4PEky28/v-deo.html
I've seen that, absolutely loved the performance! I'm pretty sure I can't react to Jimmy Fallon stuff because it'll get blocked, same thing happened to the Dan White performance :(
Oh yeah, it's not a strike. It's a double push off. So you're right there.
It's called the Turner sweep second. it's a push off and he is the only person in the world who can do the move. his Havana second is where shit gets real. that is just beautiful!😱😍
people have suggested long/short and also a sub Rosa style....you can see when he controls the cards but it's impossible to tell how he does it.
fun fact, dai Vernon was actually his best man at his wedding. 😁
Wow I didn't know any of that! Esp the Dai Vernon part, RIP
No, he didn't switch the packs and he didn't have extra cards .. he's not a magician, he's a card mechanic. He can pull off any card he wants from the deck whether it's faced up or faced down
He can never pull out any Specific card from the deck. If I choose a random card, can he pull it out for me, *NEVER*. But there is a special deck of card where it's designed to pull out the 4 kings easily and place those 4 King cards on the bottoms or wherever, by pretending to shuffle. It's very easy. Now when dealing pokers, he deals from the top (random cards) to everyone hand, *but* when dealing for the host hand and rivers, the turns, those will be dealt *only* from the 4 Kings ..etc..that are from the bottom.
Wow that control actually fooled me cuz I expected a classic pass XD
Theres no magic trick with richard turner.. Hes just insanely good. He practices 16 hours a day
He said he practiced on average 14 hours a day for 26 years. 11.3 years of time.
I've in my 29 years slept for 9.3 years.
Guys fucking nuts.
Dai Vernon shared with him techniques that will die with Turner, he said so in a few interviews
He didnt steal them, they were in the deck when they mixed them so...
The only way i can imagine to accomplish this, is using "subrosa".
However good you think richard turner is, he's better than that.
I think Richard Turner is my favorite person on earth.
the only thing i noticed was at the end when he asks penn how many hands 5,6 or 7, the answer doesnt matter he dealt the 5th hand to teller and i believe he would have done the same even it was 7 hands
do you think he was using strippers to cull the cards after the wash?
The only thing I could think of is the use of a stripper deck..... But that's the best I got.... But even then in an interview he said he can do any card movement with a deck even if someone else hands him a new deck.... So I don't know.
No Stripper
No nightclubs, the cards were washed.
The trick is he isn't blind and just sees what card you took lol.
I really like your technique for the, lets just say "card swap", it was really clean, I like that, I haven't seen it covered like that before man, good job, ingenuity.
Thank you, yeah it's probably my favourite colour change and that is my method of making it look fair and being able to perform it to groups of people.
Eduard Todor I do something similar, I use the deck and do some classic wave motions, but I just love the style you put into it. It is definitely unique. Which is great as that's what you want. It is all about making it your own and reinventing.
I wonder if he has some way of physically marking the cards, but so subtle that you don't notice if you look at them. One thing I know about blind people is that a large part of your brain is dedicated to processing vision. When you go blind, your other senses increase and in some situations will start taking over the area of your brain that previously handled vision. I've seen blind people do echo location, where they use sound and hearing to draw a 3d picture of their world. That part of your brain that did vision, can now be used to "see" the world through other senses. That is why he can do Karate. He might even just be able to feel the tiny imperfections in each card and just shuffling through them, he would be able to build a picture in his mind of what every card is. The same as someone that has vision organizing a deck of cards face up.
Look at the side of a deck of cards, especially cheap cards. You will see that the edges aren't perfectly smooth due the cutting mechanism. He can feel those markings as if he was reading Braille.
You can't do a snapchange with 3 fingers to 1
Why so many dislikes.,
i know how he does it... I just dont know how its possible???
Perhaps Turner did a deck switch, even though it would be almost impossible with Penn and Teller steadfastly watching his every move with nothing more than maybe a feet of distance separating them from Turner. If by some slim chance this was the case, then that would have to be the smoothest, most inconspicuous switch I have ever seen.
He is just reading the side of the cards as if it was Braille. The cutting mechanism at the printers doesn't leave the edges perfectly smooth. By exposing this flaw, he was hired to test new methods of cutting the paper so that the edges are smoother.
I'm not planning on performing any magic, but I have to say that learning about it doesn't diminish it for me at all. I'm always amazed, but have more respect for the work ethic now. Love what you're doing man! Good stuff.
He really isnt shuffling the deck during the riffles. He is parting the deck out into the same two halves each time. After the Penn and Teller casino wash, he shuffles during a conversation, running his thumb up the edge of the deck, shuffles again, and runs his thumb up the side of the deck.... he is locating all his kings to the bottom. And then again his riffle shuffles are not true, he is parting the deck back out.during the deal, he throws a king where he wants it by dealing off the bottom of the deck.
That is correct and you know you can buy such deck of card online. I had one before, requiring no skill to pull out almost any cards you desired
how can be 554 people dislike this video?
Stripper variation, so subtle that P&T wouldn't notice but Turner could with his Spidey senses?
that's what I was thinking
Thanks for the great vid bro!
He can do this blind.....what am I doing with my life!!!!?
Name of the control ?
I am sure,he look these cards with third eyes,hahaha..
There is one other way he could of done it it has to with his fingers.
he should go to agt
That brief tho.
Stripper deck?
is he really blind? i mean have you watched the prestige? bale's twin fake his whole life just to make the trick works
he is. he did a performance blindfolded. and not with those magician blindfolds that are gimmicky, but stuff like taping quarters to his eyes, a blindfold over that, quarters over that, and then duct tape over that (all items being tested by the other people). so yea. But it didnt really make a difference to his performance because he was blind to start with so yea. He's that good
Would never want him to deal poker lol
