Richard Turner has been called one of the world’s most influential and inspirational figures of modern times – a card manipulator who creates “astonishment beyond comprehension.” Richard’s peers acknowledge that he is a master of his craft, and that he manipulates a deck of cards like no other human being on the planet, yet Richard Turner is completely blind. Richard found out at an early age that being blind empowered him to develop an enhanced sense of touch, and once he picked up a deck of cards, his life changed. He developed his unique abilities and trademark techniques by practicing 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, for many decades. Due to his remarkably delicate sense of feel for cards, he was also the Touch Analyst for US Playing Cards.

Richard’s outward skills, his humor, poise, confidence, and eloquence are incomparable. He is a global celebrity who is a recognized Fortune 500 keynote speaker-entertainer. He is also the CEO of tech company “52 Productions” who’s mission is to develop conversational-interface gaming apps. Richard was the subject of the acclaimed feature documentary film DEALT. The film received rave reviews and it was recently announced that Richard and his DEALT film producers have signed a deal to produce an A-List feature film, based entirely on Richard’s life story.
