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

He is incredible. Just a slight addendum: Turner started going blind aged 9 due to scarlet fever (although I think I've heard him say aged 7 in another interview), and it deteriorated to the point of legal blindness by age 13.

Yes, he did mess up the false cut in the beginning of the video with the deuce, but even the greatest slip up once in a thousand times. He is in fact just a human. That being said, to me, the man is a legend and a great inspiration. Since I was a child I have loved cards and anything to do with them, rummy, poker, and especially magic. If I can one day do a quarter, with sight, of what he can do blind, I will be a happy man.

@Asatruction 4 года назад

You can believe it, he holds a fifth-degree black belt in Wado-Kai (or Wado-Ryu) karate and started doing karate AFTER going blind, which is friggin' amazing. This style of karate is particularly suited for blind people as it emphasizes on joint locks and throws, meaning that if a blind person was to get into contact with their opponent, they could crush him just as a non-blind person could. There's that one conversation at a tournament where he tells a guy he's blind. The guy then proceeds to say, "You're legally blind, how could you possibly fight?". Turner's answer simply was, "I don't know, find out!". The man is a badass from head to toe. There's that documentary about him, called Dealt, from 2017. It's a really great watch!

@karebu2 4 года назад

Ray S not a card person here. May I know what does that mean?

@rays5163 4 года назад

It’s just the brand of playing cards. Richard pretty much exclusively uses bicycle cards in a traditional cut. You would probably recognize them if you see them. They’re pretty common. The backs have the angel riding a bicycle. The bees have that argyle back. They’re actually both made by the USPCC so it’s really just a matter of preference but the card stocks are different. Even without being blind you can feel the difference but since he is blind he likes to keep it consistent. I’ve heard him say he goes so far as to not shake peoples hands since it will affect the moisture level in his hand. Sounds crazy, but USPCC actually uses him for quality control specifically because he can judge the moisture levels in the card stock better than their machines can

@eagledetection4451 4 года назад

@@rays5163 I thought Richard was exclusively Bees. Are you sure? That documentary from a year or so back, he gave a tour of his place and they were all Bee decks.

@rays5163 4 года назад

I haven’t seen it but i just looked up the trailer and he uses both in it so you might be on to something

@lucasb6517 4 года назад

I think a lot of card mechanics tend to prefer bees because, visually speaking, it's easier to deal seconds or bottom dealing whereas the white margins on the bicycle cards make it more evident when you are not dealing from the top. That's been my own personal experience any ways

Can anyone explain how he knows which card is which? I mean just the tracking and card manipulation itself is mindblowing, but how does he know which card is which to know where to put it? And it's not that the cards are marked, because he can do that at a poker table with a regular deck (from what I understand).

@knpstrr 4 года назад

He is clearly "reading" the cards with this fingertips (since he cannot see). Extraordinary skill! He deals off the bottom with sleight of hand feeling the bottom card if it is junk he deals it out to players. If it is good he deals from the top and saves it for his partner. That's why Tim still got a couple of crapper cards (2 out of 7).

@rays5163 4 года назад

I'm amazed he still nailed it though. I thought Richard exclusively used bikes. I know bees and bikes are both produced by uspcc but the card stocks are still different so I was expecting that to really mess with him

@stevengunawan3728 3 года назад

He gained senses like in a superheroes or martial arts movies. He has practiced for tens of years that his fingers became really sensitive to cards, so he use the difference of thickness or any other things to distinguish between cards. He practiced more than 10 hours daily (iirc 16 hours avg daily. Check his documentary)

I get being able to manipulate the cards incredibly well, but just how the fuck can he unshuffle a deck without knowing the order of the cards? My only hypothesis is that he feels the printing and knows what card he's touching that way. Which is no less insanely impressive, but at least it's not completely otherworldly.

@MrLipiko 4 года назад

The routine following on 3:30 you can quite clearly see that he's dealing seconds except for Tim's card, so did he introduce Tim's perfect hand on top with sleight of hand or what? Couldn't see anything.

@maulcs 4 года назад

I think he has some kind of braille on the cards, and depending on whether he wants to keep the card to deal it to Tim, he deals seconds if necessary. By having a wild card in addition to the ace, it raises the chances he's going to run into one of them (to deal to Tim). Having the person give him a smaller stack and continually mix it maybe helps him do that as well, he has another chance for the right card to be on the top or something.
