Richard Turner — The Magical Phenom Who Will Blow Your
Mind | Brought to you by Nulo and
Inktel.
"Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes
perfect." — Richard Turner
I 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
(richardturner52.com, youtube.com/richardturner52) in the
documentary Dealt, 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 Rotten Tomatoes and
won the 2017 Documentary Feature Audience Choice Award 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 Penn &
Teller: Fool Us, in which Penn Jillette 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 youtube.com/timferriss. 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. You're in for a ride, my friends.
This episode is brought to you by
Nulo. Our pets bring out the
best in us and are you doing your part to bring out the best in
them? Nulo is an independently owned pet
food company based in Austin that delivers the
very best pet nutrition with high-meat, low-carb recipes
for dogs and cats. In fact, it's what I feed Molly, my own best
friend. When I switched Molly over to Nulo a
couple of years ago, it not only made an immediate difference in
the way she looks — her coat is softer and shinier than ever
before — but in how she behaves.
I can't imagine feeding Molly anything else at this point. If you
have a dog or a cat and you're wondering how much of a difference
upgrading their food quality can make, go to
