Dealt movie- Richard Turner

Dealt- movie starring Richard Turner, Card Mechanic extraordinaire.

Note: Richard Turner prefers to go by the title of ‘card mechanic’.

I saw him in Cape Town, when he was performing and the Cape Magicians Circle went along. He is unbelievably skilled. Considering how many years he has spent with a deck of cards in his hands, i doubt anyone will ever match his skill with cards.

The film by Luke Korem, has some great reviews.

(Update: see the end of this article for the news that a full feature film is going to be made on the life of Richard Turner).

Dealt knocked me dead… Turner and the tough love of his family, won my heart. A great documentary.

(Teller, of Penn and Teller)

The movie “Dealt” opens in selected cinemas from the 20 October 2017.

The story is hugely uplifting and inspirational… and the film is winning film festival awards all over.
