Richard Turner is a world-renowned playing card mechanic whose skills are unparalleled. Turner’s skills leave audiences baffled beyond belief as he manipulates a deck of cards like no other human being on this planet.
As a global celebrity he is a recognized Fortune 500 keynote speaker with clients that include Apple, Facebook, AT&T, IBM, the U. S. Air Force, and scores of others. In addition to these prestigious corporations, Richard has entertained millions of people worldwide, including notables like Johnny Carson, Bob Hope, Colin Powell, and boxing legend Muhammad Ali. Richard fooled Penn & Teller on their TV series “Fool Us” faster than anyone before and has earned a Sixth Degree Black Belt Master’s Ranking in Karate.

But, what makes all of Richard Turner’s accomplishments truly incredible is that he is blind, and has been since childhood. Thankfully, he discovered at an early age that being blind empowered him with an ability to develop an enhanced sense of touch that, when he picked up a deck of cards, changed his life forever.
