Revealing his techniques in no way, shape or form undermines this man's skill. To be blunt it does nothing but highlight it! Incredible. Love this channel :)
This is easily in my top five favorite performances on “Fool Us.” Kudos for the explanation and for reinforcing how truly skillful Richard Turner is with what he does.
Richard is a magician whose "secrets" are pure skill. The exposed skills here are even more impressive than the effect itself. Richard is a master card mechanic by any standard, now add the fact that he does this without sight.. Unbelievable.
THis video gives you a deeper appreciation for Richard Turner's skills. Knowing how to do it and doing it as well as he did right under the noses of two top magicians is just pure amazing.
Richard is an incredibly talented performer. When you also consider he is totally blind, how on earth did he practise these difficult moves originally? Not to mention his confidence in performing without being able to see if it goes wrong. When you see how it's done just makes it more incredible! 😍
Per Richard, his teacher actually taught him the tricks in the way his teacher thought they SHOULD be done but were impossible for anyone else but Richard to do in that manner. Richard is a legit one of a kind expert
@@CommandoMaster He did have a teacher yes, but he invented a lot of the moves on his own. His teacher once told Richard about a mechanic be believed would be completely impossible to pull off. For obvious reasons he didn't go into detail. But the short version is that it wouldn't just require a lot of practice and skill. The teacher thought the idea sounded cool the only problem being that the execution required you to be impossibly fast, without tipping people off with a sound, and sensitivity in the fingers required could not be done. He gave him the assignment just to see how far he could get with it and when he performed it flawlessly he couldn't believe it and had all of their friends come up and try to guess how it was done and none of them could do it.
Revealing the methods used takes nothing away, in fact it adds to the insane touch and practice he must have put in. His second deals are incredible, just look at teller's face as he's doing it-just in awe of his ability. Dude's a black belt too, has lived an incredible life. True inspiration
you can compare it with a skill that it takes to be a professional athlete like - you know how to play football, it's a matter of how someone had mastered that skill
Iv seen almost all of Richard turners content available, so this video is a real treat in getting to see inside his skilled mind and hands as he performs!! Explanations like this just make it even more impressive to watch and appreciate all the actual skill that goes into performances like Richards!! Thanks alot!!
Richard Turner is amazing any of these moves take years of practice !!! Add the fact that he is blind and it makes this ten times harderr. To do what he does so flawlessly is obviously awesome !!!! Will always be the GOAT to me
The explanation might sound simple . I assure you that any of these moves takes years of practice to get sorted to his level . Even feeling the difference on a stripped deck ,people don't realise that the offset is often less than one millimetre . Try doing that with your eyes closed and then you might start to realise how good he really is !!! Amazing !!!
The level of control by Richard really is amazing. It's a great performance. My favourite all-time effect is Harry Blackstone Jr.'s Floating Light Bulb . Sure, people can guess how it would be done today but, bearing in mind that this was before easily accessible remote control devices and digital green screens, I would love to hear people's ideas on how he accomplsihed the effect, specifically the part with the control over the audience. A gimmicked bulb for sure but how? And was there more than just one?
Love that trick! It's a real shame not many have seen it. Also, possibly more well known, check out Lance Burton's dove act- probably the best I've ever seen
You missed the crucial 14th trick, the one that actually fooled Penn and Teller. Turner himself probably didn't consider it a trick at all but Penn explained it in a video later. Penn and Teller would normally have noticed the kings were stripper cards of course but in this case the difference was so subtle they were not able to. Only somebody with fingers as sensitive and fine tuned as Turner's could.
@@irehman7 It was on TH-cam of course but I'm afraid that's all I remember. Maybe somebody else can locate it? It was a short video about marked card and Penn described how you can mark them by sanding down the edges and how Turner did it so subtly that nobody else could possibly notice.
It reminds me of when they first came out with slow motion in sports. Folks would say it would ruin the impressiveness of athletic feats, but really it just shows how impressive these moves actually are.
Masterful. Just like watching a talented juggler. You just wonder how long it took him to get to this level of skill. I almost think that being a magician hides his skills. Thank you for exposing how talented he is.
Im curious how aggressive the angle is on the strippable cards. Like, would you or I be able to strip them or is a finer touch required? I’ve never seen any of Richard’s published work so I always thought he was finding the cards in a different way; a way you or I couldn’t do because of his finer touch. I was surprised at how blatant some of the moves looked! Maybe just a choice of angles for the cameras idk. The fact he does this with a full grip is also impressive asf!
Something curious I noticed in his act is what I call “Turner’s Table” or “Richard’s Ridge”: when perfect shuffling he first jogs the bottom card towards the other half of the deck. It helps guarantee the first couple cards are weaved.
Awesome breakdown of the 13 methods. The controlled dealing techniques only works with borderless cards as the pattern blends in. Even knowing the techniques, it still takes years of practice to get that good to fool P&T while they are sitting next to you.
Watching these card tricksters is very entertaining and their skills are superb. Revealing their secrets and showing us how they do it is not good. They spend many years perfecting what they do and then someone like you gets great pleasure in revealing their secrets. Knowing how the trick is done takes away the enjoyment for me. Yes everyone has their own opinion so keep that in mind should you feel the urge to throw some nasty comments my way.
Question. He does not use the same strike deal as the Russian genius. I know you said it was a variation. But can you elaborate more on RT version of the strike deal? Or point me to a source where I can dive more deeply into this technique? All the best. Subscribed
Watching Rich Turner convinced me that gambling is only not a sucker's game for those doing the suckering. IOW, it's best to just NOT do it if you don't wanna lose your hard-earned $$$.
I have watched Richard T. many times on TV. He is incredible! But, my question is; who was sitting beside him while he was practicing all that time to let him know if he did the cards right?
I've heard that neither Penn nor Teller were actually fooled by the act. The knew exactly what techniques were used, and how the whole act was done. However, they were so so impressed and enamored by how well, how smoothly, and how much talent and skill was required to pull it all off. I must say, I think all of us agree!
Even knowing what he does makes it more insane bc of how well he can manipulate and track the cards. Its like when they called kostya out for his precision dribble and card snatch on there is no trick, he just is that good.
I never thought Richard Turner could be matched, but after seeing what Jason Ladanye is doing, I am starting to doubt. Jason might be the best card mechanic in the world currently. Am I wrong?
The question remains if he used even more complicated techniques to prevent other cards to beat his four kings (four aces, street flush), or did he just left the tiny chances of him losing badly?
6:55 is not a strike second. It's a push-off second and it is known as the "Turner Second Sweep" due to the sweeping action of his right thumb which makes it more deceptive. Out of 154 comments I'm the only one to mention this error....
Although blind, Richard Turner wears a beautiful analog watch. But I wonder how he manages to read the dial... Unless it's a special watch with voice or braille capabilities.
Hey, @irehman7! 👋 😊 I have one for you: th-cam.com/video/tq_KYqv4BSU/w-d-xo.html Thanks to Penn’s “Magic Support” video-where he answers questions from SocMed-we know Turner uses sandpaper on each deck. I think I may have an idea of one way he uses the sandpaper. There are 2 decks on stage. The deck on stage left is some form of stripper deck-the way it sits leads me to think it’s a standard stripper deck, but I always thought turner used a different type. N-Deck, bellies, hollows, etc. The deck on stage right Turner uses the sandpaper to put a slightly different texture on specific parts of the a card’s back. To help me, I’ve pictured a small circle about the same diameter as chapstick placed on each short end or in the centers of whatever cards he wants to find. He could use the sandpaper to mark different cards in different spots so, for example he can find the specific cards in order. At what point does he feel the marking and decide to deal stones or bottoms? Could be take hand and thumb. Some days I watch this and think he has a way to feel which card is on the bottom 😂 I’ve been trying to do this myself to test the idea. Every card back I’ve tried it on, you can’t both have the mark be hidden _and_ felt. BUT, that’s *me*, not the man who’s spent a lifetime developing fine asf touch 😂 I’m still working on a couple ideas but this is insane if true! Cheers, dude. If you want to chat any further about this idea hit me up. My email is capATidiealot. com. 😊 PS: I can’t find the clip, but there is another version of this routine where he takes one of the packets and spreads it on the table. In the context of the routine it looks like he’s “feeling” for a specific card’s marking , or any marking at all.
I suspect that P&T knew very well what techniques he was using, but gave him the trophy out of respect for his legendary status in the magic community and for the insane skill of his execution.
Really apologise. Terribly disappointment with my editor, I had this video correct 4 times still made a dumb mistake. I will give credits in description asap.
I just know sometimes penn and telling want to be fooled, I mean, it’s the shows purpose, and I know they love to see good magic, so even if they know, they let it slide.
Instead it is only possible to do if you're both blind and also Richard. My understanding is he has to personally prepare his decks to his standard, which is subtle unless you know what you're looking for. Or feeling for in this case.
Turner's 'hand' could have been beaten by a straight flush or 4 Aces. But was it risky for him to choose 4 Kings in his trick? What if his hand was beaten? Was Turner a fool on Fool Us? Well, the probability in a 5-card draw involving 6 players that another hand drew a straight flush (where the maximum would be Queen-high) is ~0.000000263. The probability of another hand drawing 4 Aces would be ~0.000000011. Thus, the combined probability of Turner losing on Fool Us would be ~0.000000274 (or ~0.0000274%). So, if Turner was to perform the same Poker routine (7:00-8:30 which was a 1:30min routine) over and over until there was a 100% likelihood of being beaten once, he would need to repeat the game 36,496,350 times. This would mean that if he was to continuously repeat the routine 24h a day, 7 days a week until he got beaten, it would take ~104 years. No Turner wasnt a fool on Fool us!!! His choice of 4 kings was brilliant!!!
It doesn't work that way. The uncontrolled cards behave randomly, and the routines are independent of each other, so there's a chance it could happen on the very first performance, and a chance it could never happen.
@@goodmaro well of course that's exactly what i said. I used the words liklihood and probability. So to dumb it down, if there was a 0.33 probability of drawing a specific card, the card could be drawn on the first draw or the 3rd draw. That's probability. What people sometimes struggle with in terms of understanding probability is distinguishing between the chance of an event on any one occasion and the cumulative chance of an event after multiple tries. Both are quite different.
I thought that he has super sensitive touch, and that the cards had ridges on the sides, and he could somehow read the whole deck like brail just from touching the side of the deck. I was way off
I normally do not watch how magic is done. I like figuring it out myself if possible and if not, good. HOWEVER....Turner himself said he is not a magician but rather a card MECHANIC. How do auto mechanics learn? Watching other auto mechanics. It is not spoiling the magic because again, like he said himself, it is not magic but only looks like it.
There's at least one problem with this video. Richard would never be caught dead doing a strike second deal as he thinks the strike is a terrible technique. What he is doing is he patented Push Off Sweep Second Deal.
You mean there was a tiny teeny chance, that his hand (4 Kings) would have lost to a straight/royal flush or 4 aces, since the other cards were genuinely mixed? If yes, I like it that the trick was not 100% fool proof then. :D Geniunely curious, do magicians occasionally fail tricks on the big stage? Or are tricks nearly always 100% safe?
While they carefully craft their performances you can never account for every variable, so I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a magician or card mechanic who wouldn't confess to occasionally messing parts of a trick up or having something go awry... especially if the trick involves audience participation. The _REAL_ magic is their ability to disguise it so the audience doesn't realise anything's amiss.... there's some amazing performances by top card magicians on TH-cam where they managed to convince the original live audience _and_ YT viewers that the misstep was a scripted part of the show. Consummate performers!
This reveal made it feel like Richard is an humanoid robot who got a lot of skill moves installed, which he can use and combine to perform the moves he needs naturally as he would breathing Like he’s saying for this performance I use a 13 move set combination. And he’s just going out I ggf. Instinct
A lot of this explanation makes sense, however, it all hinges on the four kings being stripper cards. The problem is the deck was washed by Penn and Teller. And a stripper card will not work with a washer shuffle because some of the cards will get twisted around and the stripper cards all must be faced in the same direction, which is opposite from the rest of the deck.
@@irehman7 no not really, cause the stripped cards have to be the same way as the rest. Also Penn and Teller handled the card and would 100% called out, if he used a stripper. He simply did not used a strip, cause he doesn't need to
I still wonder if Penn and Teller are ever really fooled. Richard Turner is incredible and I do not doubt that most magicians will not be able to do what he does, but I also do not doubt that most magicians know what he does, know all the moves and routines he uses, and Penn and Teller belong to that group of magicians. Thanks to The Masked Magician, Penn And Teller and people like you magicians have been pushed to innovate, to find new ways to baffle the audience because a lot of secrets have been revealed but in some parts of the world of magic innovation has become hard or even impossible, and that is the only way you can fool magicians like Penn and Teller. I am still amazed by everything I see on Fool Us but after nine years even I know a few things about magic and sometimes know how some parts of a trick are done what still does not take away of enjoying the performance. Fool Us is a great show but it is already weird to see what kind of acts fooled Penn and Teller in the earlier shows because you know they would never have been fooled by it now, so the show will at some point end or will not have a lot of foolers anymore.
I didn't say a stripper deck was used. I said only the kings were designed with that concept. Plus the proof provided shows him stripping the card is impossible to deny.
Revealing his techniques in no way, shape or form undermines this man's skill. To be blunt it does nothing but highlight it! Incredible. Love this channel :)
Exactly! I did add a disclaimer for those that might get offended at the beginning section of the video just in case.
@@irehman7 the reveals mostly increases my appreciation for their incredible talents and hard work.
I agree - I know how to play the piano but I still admire the skill and dedication that goes into a world class performance
Remember Grail, a lot of people nowadays get easily offended for the other person.
@@thatoneguyRyan1 who is that
Richard Turner is a LEGEND, and I’ve been WONDERING how he did this trick!!!😂 Now that I know, I STILL couldn’t perform it WITH my vision.😳
😂Yeah
The thing he does picking off an exact number of cards named by a spectator-i assume that isn't a trick it's just incredible feel and practice?
Richard calls it technique
This is easily in my top five favorite performances on “Fool Us.” Kudos for the explanation and for reinforcing how truly skillful Richard Turner is with what he does.
Dude, my brain is melting even watching this
I can understand 😂. My editor had trouble editing because of how complicated it was for someone who doesn't have experience with card handling.
This just made me even more in awe of Richard's talent. Wow, the control to be able to do all that, just insane.
Richard is a magician whose "secrets" are pure skill. The exposed skills here are even more impressive than the effect itself. Richard is a master card mechanic by any standard, now add the fact that he does this without sight.. Unbelievable.

This would mean that if he was to continuously repeat the routine 24h a day, 7 days a week until he got beaten, it would take ~104 years. No Turner wasnt a fool on Fool us!!! His choice of 4 kings was brilliant!!!
It doesn't work that way. The uncontrolled cards behave randomly, and the routines are independent of each other, so there's a chance it could happen on the very first performance, and a chance it could never happen.
@@goodmaro well of course that's exactly what i said. I used the words liklihood and probability. So to dumb it down, if there was a 0.33 probability of drawing a specific card, the card could be drawn on the first draw or the 3rd draw. That's probability. What people sometimes struggle with in terms of understanding probability is distinguishing between the chance of an event on any one occasion and the cumulative chance of an event after multiple tries. Both are quite different.
Damn he is good
That guys is blind. Thats fuckin crazy. I dont care about the secret on this. I have mad respect on that guy.
Hah. You could give his cards, his secrets and an extra pair of eyes and it still wouldn't matter.
The first 6 7 false shuffles that he did, even if he didnt do that and did 8 perfect shuffles the deck would have been in the order it began
After all that, I would not be able to to that
I thought that he has super sensitive touch, and that the cards had ridges on the sides, and he could somehow read the whole deck like brail just from touching the side of the deck. I was way off
I normally do not watch how magic is done. I like figuring it out myself if possible and if not, good. HOWEVER....Turner himself said he is not a magician but rather a card MECHANIC. How do auto mechanics learn? Watching other auto mechanics. It is not spoiling the magic because again, like he said himself, it is not magic but only looks like it.
Dan Harlan next pls
The biggest question I have is...why does a blind man wear a watch?
lmao
My wife's aunt is blind and wears a watch, it has the time in braille
There's at least one problem with this video. Richard would never be caught dead doing a strike second deal as he thinks the strike is a terrible technique. What he is doing is he patented Push Off Sweep Second Deal.
You mean there was a tiny teeny chance, that his hand (4 Kings) would have lost to a straight/royal flush or 4 aces, since the other cards were genuinely mixed? If yes, I like it that the trick was not 100% fool proof then. :D Geniunely curious, do magicians occasionally fail tricks on the big stage? Or are tricks nearly always 100% safe?
A magician will never perform a trick that they can't control. :)
While they carefully craft their performances you can never account for every variable, so I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a magician or card mechanic who wouldn't confess to occasionally messing parts of a trick up or having something go awry... especially if the trick involves audience participation. The _REAL_ magic is their ability to disguise it so the audience doesn't realise anything's amiss.... there's some amazing performances by top card magicians on TH-cam where they managed to convince the original live audience _and_ YT viewers that the misstep was a scripted part of the show. Consummate performers!
Richard is the best
Yess
Ha. Perez.
This reveal made it feel like Richard is an humanoid robot who got a lot of skill moves installed, which he can use and combine to perform the moves he needs naturally as he would breathing
Like he’s saying for this performance I use a 13 move set combination. And he’s just going out I ggf. Instinct
This guy is god
easier said than done
Yep
I wonder if a sighted person that can do this trick is able to do it blindfolded? I guess not.
A lot of this explanation makes sense, however, it all hinges on the four kings being stripper cards. The problem is the deck was washed by Penn and Teller. And a stripper card will not work with a washer shuffle because some of the cards will get twisted around and the stripper cards all must be faced in the same direction, which is opposite from the rest of the deck.
Entire deck is normal execpt for the 4 king cards. The issue you mentioned only arises when the entire deck is a stripper deck.
@@irehman7 no not really, cause the stripped cards have to be the same way as the rest. Also Penn and Teller handled the card and would 100% called out, if he used a stripper. He simply did not used a strip, cause he doesn't need to
w h o a h !
I still wonder if Penn and Teller are ever really fooled. Richard Turner is incredible and I do not doubt that most magicians will not be able to do what he does, but I also do not doubt that most magicians know what he does, know all the moves and routines he uses, and Penn and Teller belong to that group of magicians. Thanks to The Masked Magician, Penn And Teller and people like you magicians have been pushed to innovate, to find new ways to baffle the audience because a lot of secrets have been revealed but in some parts of the world of magic innovation has become hard or even impossible, and that is the only way you can fool magicians like Penn and Teller. I am still amazed by everything I see on Fool Us but after nine years even I know a few things about magic and sometimes know how some parts of a trick are done what still does not take away of enjoying the performance. Fool Us is a great show but it is already weird to see what kind of acts fooled Penn and Teller in the earlier shows because you know they would never have been fooled by it now, so the show will at some point end or will not have a lot of foolers anymore.
This is what happens when you spend tens of thousands of hours perfecting your art.
I guess many of these tricks are hard to see by people sitting to the side?
IM DECIDING WETHER OR NOT I WANT TO FINISH WATCHING THIS VID ITS MAGIC TILL YOU KNOW HOW ITS DONE
No, this is magic before, during, and after you know how it's done!
This is all much more incredible because he's blind
I agree with most of your educated guesses but he doest need gimmicked decks. I highly doubt he used a stripper deck
I didn't say a stripper deck was used. I said only the kings were designed with that concept. Plus the proof provided shows him stripping the card is impossible to deny.
@@irehman7 possibly I just don't think Richard Turner uses gimmicks at all. And yes you're right you said the kings not the deck my bad
@@mikenichol4040 right, nobody can fool PT with such basic gimmick as tapered cards
But he gave the deck after performance for inspection...
lol when did that ever happen 😂😂
@@irehman7 you right, I rewatched the original performance, he didn't offer his deck. Your explanation of the trick is on point 👍🏻
