According to Stan Allen’s Magic Magazine eUpdate, Richard Turner (the magician you see performing above) will be on CBS This Morning today to discuss his life and the new documentary, Dealt, being made about him. Richard is considered by many to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, living card mechanics. It was not a magician which inspired him to learn his amazing card handling skills but instead because of a childhood fascination with the television show Maverick (which was about a family of gamblers in the Old West). What truly makes Richard Turner an inspiration to almost everyone who sees him perform, though, is the fact he has been blind most of his life.
