Richard Turner — The Magical Phenom Who Will Blow Your Mind | Brought to you by <a href="http://nulo.com/tim" target="_blank">Nulo</a> and <a href="http://www.inktel.com/tim/" target="_blank">Inktel</a>."Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect." — Richard TurnerI am very, very excited to introduce this interview, as I've been wanting to meet today's guest, Richard Turner, for almost two years now. I first came across Richard Turner (<a href="https://richardturner52.com/" target="_blank">richardturner52.com</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/RichardTurner52" target="_blank">youtube.com/richardturner52</a>) in the documentary <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dealt-Richard-Turner/dp/B076HDLY9W/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=dealt+documentary&amp;qid=1582137992&amp;sr=8-1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=offsitoftimfe-20&amp;linkId=7fb6ddc77de663e98a678b6468739411&amp;language=en_US" target="_blank">Dealt</a>, directed by Luke Korem.I can't remember the last time I finished a documentary, only to want to watch it again immediately afterward. I also can't remember a doc that made me as emotional as Dealt did, pushing me from laughter to tears. It has 95 percent on <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dealt" target="_blank">Rotten Tomatoes</a> and won the <a href="https://variety.com/2017/film/news/sxsw-2017-audience-award-winners-1202011563/#article-comments" target="_blank">2017 Documentary Feature Audience Choice Award</a> at the South by Southwest Film Festival. Everyone should watch it.But back to my guest: Richard Turner is regarded as the best card mechanic and among the best up-close magicians in the world. He has entertained millions of people, including notables like Johnny Carson, Bob Hope, Secretary of State Colin Powell, actor Brad Pitt, sports legend Muhammad Ali, and many more.His skill with a deck of cards has been featured on television shows around the world, including a performance on <a href="https://www.cwtv.com/shows/penn-teller-fool-us/" target="_blank">Penn &amp; Teller: Fool Us</a>, in which <a href="https://tim.blog/2020/01/09/penn-jillette/" target="_blank">Penn Jillette</a> admitted, "Richard Turner is one of the finest sleight-of-hand artists who has ever lived. He fooled us with every single move he did!"Note: Toward the end of the interview, you will hear Richard performing card tricks. He did them in front of me, and he absolutely blew my mind. I highly recommend checking out the interview on YouTube, as I made sure to have video from multiple angles for this episode. Just go to <a href="http://youtube.com/timferriss" target="_blank">youtube.com/timferriss</a>. Not to sound like a mullet-wearing Long Island boy (which I've been), but this footage is simply fucking amazing.Oh, and did I mention that Richard is completely blind? That's right.
