"Richard Turner is the greatest card mechanic of all times!” — Muhammad Ali
”Having seen countless numbers of card experts execute for over eighty years, I consider Richard Turner to be by far the most skillful. He performs the most difficult moves with the greatest ease. I doubt if anyone can equal him. He does things with cards that no one else in the world can do — no one. I don’t care if you go to China, France or Germany; he does things that no one else can do and he performs them beautifully” — Card Master Dai Vernon, September 16, 1987
“I’ll never play cards with you!” — Actor Bob Hope
“He advances the science of card manipulation to heights never dreamed of!” — Card Master Steve Forte
"… hands that unerringly pluck the aces from the deck …" — Los Angeles Times
”You understand this card stuff Johnny! How’s he doing it?” — Gene Kelly
”I don’t know! But he’s doing it beautifully!” — Johnny Carson
“That’s enough to make a poker player want to take up Scrabble!” — TV show That’s Incredible
"These are the true heroes here — Mr. Cheat and Miss Guided.” — Secretary of State Colin Powell
”I can now tell you that he is registered as blind!” — Paul Daniels on BBC TV
"Your deals rank with the best I have seen over the years—and I have seen many." — Herb Zarrow
Richard Turner doesn't do card tricks — he demonstrates the most difficult moves ever devised for cheating with cards. Visit The Cheat, DVDs, and Testimonials pages to learn more about his background, card skills, and performances. You can even download a video.
He's also a martial arts expert and has qualified as a fifth degree black belt in karate. In About Richard, you can read how he considered his blindness an opportunity to develop his mind and body.
Because of his unparalleled touch with a pack of 52, Richard has been pursued by organized crime with offers of huge fortunes to use his talents for ill. But his values are more important than money, and at great personal risk he has resisted all "offers that can't be refused." He and his comedic sidekick Miss Guided present entertaining, motivational, and inspirational performances to schools, businesses, and organizations. Learn more at Performances.
Richard's latest venture has been to write a novel using historical characters and events mingled with bits of his own personal history. A blind card mechanic, an orphaned Mexican karate kicker, and their guardian angel travel out-of-time in a fast-paced Christian fantasy filled with humor, action, adventure, and Scriptural truth. The first three chapters of Re-Deal: a Miss Guided Adventure are available at Re-Deal.
