The cocaine was way better too.

Probably not as well mixed as they are now.

typical

😂😂😂😂

Pssshaha godamm carrie

Watched Spinal Tap a few too many times.

She meant in binary. It's actually 3

I was wondering how he knew her hand went up at 10:32. He can see something.

Thanks man have to watch that.this guy is amazinh

wow

Now he has a rare syndrome where he is completely blind but has a 360 view of anything he wants to see.

This is very true

He is the only person in the world who can perform the majority of the skills displayed here.

@@ProxCQ Pokerstars is online poker..Just in case you didn't get the joke.

Lmao yes

Yeah, magic doesn’t exist...sorry to be the one to tell you.

@@steinychickens9026 she didn't mean...lol, buddy, come on.

@@steinychickens9026 take your time bud...

Not only doing it, straight up telling everyone what's going on. But the mind still cannot accept that as it seems so far beyond possibility and would rather believe in nonsense.

@steiny we should go back to mars. We are not welcome here anymore

That was actually a really good joker laugh, holy shit.

Good catch!

Ikr

😂

Coz that is not magic trick, he is not magician he is mechanic.

He's a mechanic not a magician

For a while he didn't talk about being blind and didn't want to be introduced as being blind. He said that his blindness was irrelevant because it's never prevented him from doing anything he's wanted to do. You're right about him acting like he could see. I saw an interview where he talked about how he's been in situations where if people knew he was blind, they would know it was him. One of those times was when a card counter was being filmed playing poker for a TV show. From what I gathered, the card counter was bragging about how he was going to win. So the casino decided to bring Richard in to deal and didn't tell anybody. He said that he had to act like he could see so he wouldn't tip anyone off. They filmed for 2 hours and Richard didn't deal the card counter a single winning hand.

​@@Steely_Franisnt that cheating though? like yeah, the card counter was cheating but they just cheated right back lmao

Bro when did he work there? I grew up there

NUKE I would say they were blind, but considering what this guy can do, I hardly find that an excuse.

That's a common misconception. He has superhuman touch. But he can't feel what a card is by touching the face. Nor can he sense the weight of the card based on the ink on it. When he opens a new pack of cards he rubs the edges of the deck in a certain way that make microscopic impressions across the deck. Because the deck is in new deck order at the time he did this he can feel the edges of the cards later to know what cards are what. He can't do this for all 52 cards. He might know the kings or the aces, ETC.

@@PaulsPubAndBrew he can’t see so how can he tell which cards are aces or faces?

@@khosen6592 I explained that in my comment. He opens the deck which is in a new deck order, and he rubs the side of the deck very carefully to make invisible markings on the sides of the cards that he can feel with his crazy touching ability. Then when the cards are shuffled he can feel the sides of the cards to have an idea what they are. He doesn't do it for all 52 cards, just the cards he wants to find later for his show.

@@PaulsPubAndBrew that can’t be true considering he’s not the only one who can do these tricks. If that was the case every card player that can fix games has the touch of a blind man.

@@khosen6592 My explanation is 100% accurate. Whether you want to believe it or not. Penn jillette even explains it online. He did a video for GQ answering questions where he covered it.

+Pete Pecina (King of Hearts) ~ and a class that is missing now.

Pete Pecina old days? meaning? the 80s or way before that?

Yeah because "so much style" in the 80s, not so much xD

Pete Pecina you should've seen the douchebags back in the day. Hella stylish douchebags

Richard is still alive and still dealing cards with style. (Abit he is legally blind now.)

And he's blind......

"What does that have to do with anything?"

The best card handling I've seen

Or you could look at it as "if he can do all that blind, imagine what I could do if I put my mind to it." It's all a matter of perspective.

It's never too late to be inspired.

It's more like this. It's easier for him since he's blind than it would be for you. When you're blind, your brain will use the resources normally used for sight for something else. Usually the other senses get strengthened. Don't get me wrong though, accomplishing something like this takes immense effort and practise, but it would be easier for a blind person to accomplish than a normal person with all senses intact.

He's blind? What...?

@@ShinyVeggie extreme levels of dedication, this guys literally always has cards in his hands..18 to 20 hours a day, when he trains is the only time he doesnt practice. The thing is we can do anything with enough practice and time but laziness holds us back..

I don't think he was completely blind at this time.

He went blind when he was something like 9 years old.

he started losing his vision at 9. by 19 he could see vague shadows and had some peripheral vision. by his early 40s his vision went completely dark.

@@_dinesh yes, he went completely blind earlier I think

Even if he could see, this would still be unbelievable, out of this world skill.

What card ?

Nice spotting, He is skilled but he is mixing a bit of trickery in there.

After seeing more about RT I'm starting to understand why Penn said "It's an honor".

thomas3816 v its from his DVDs called the cheat

MrTinyface and he’s fully blind

Well wizards are the true magicians

He likes to be called a "card mechanic", a fixer.

the gloves came off

There was a cut prior.

Yes, is really easy if you know any techniques of handling, you can blind it in youtube

It's not false per se, it's just reversed. You can tell his false riffles (push-through) from his genuine ones by whether he does a cut immediately after, and this applies to his one-handed too. He riffles the cards but leaves them up-jogged and then simply pulls them out in a cut.

A3roboy In my eyes that is a false riffle shuffle, Most of the false riffle shuffles are don by up/sidde jog the cards and than pul them out but I have nevver seen it done whit a one handed riffle shuffle and then a one handed cut

Seb D This is one of the best comments I've ever read

She was

I bet you cant do some things you did when you were young. Lazy

He became blind at the age of 9, started cheating at cards at 7 i believe, after watching the television show Maverick. He had the privilege of working with professor Dai Vernon, who was considered the best in the world with a deck of cards for over half a century and was the man who fooled Houdini. But because Dai couldnt show him the tricks he had to explain them, but he didnt explain how he did them or how someone else would be able to do them, but how he wished they could have been done, just to see what turner would do. Turner was able to do the moves as Dai wished they couldve been done after thousands of hours of practice (he practised 10-20 hours a day at that time), and Dai told him what he had done afterwards. Dai went on to call Turner the most skilled card technician in the world, as he could do things no one else was able to do. Turner tells a lot about his history in the show he performed at MIT in 2017. You should look up the video, its great.

Watch him on Penn & Teller's Fool Us. They do a face up casino wash.

No. That would be a magicians method. He does a legitimate center deal incredibly beautifully.

explanation to what? why he hesitated?

Yeah as if he saw her waving her hand around when he went to grab the cards, he stopped cause she was going around. Was he completely blind at this point in his life?

no he wasnt completely blind, he was legally blind but could still see things as if the wre shadows
