The Man Called "the Greatest Card Mechanic of all Time"
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
