This guy -Richard Turner-is incredible least of all as he is blind since 9 years old! His card handling is something else, his stuff is mostly gambling themed sleights. Here he is on Fool Us.

Also he's a black belt in karate,anyone interested in knowing more about him check out a documentary about him which is fascinating.

I saw both the Turner piece and the Shin Lim performances (first and second) on their first viewing. Turner was remarkable. Shin Lim was gorgeous but a little more rusty than his first performance (which means it was still greater than most mortals), but that isn't surprising given what happened to him in the interim.

I had the incredible honor of seeing Mr. Turner perform in the Close-up Gallery at The Magic Castle in Los Angeles a couple months back. I sat three feet from him and I'm here to tell you, he's 100% legit. He can manipulate a deck of cards like no one I have ever seen.

And the coolest part? At no point is the audience told that he's blind. His feats of card-manipulation stand on their own.

His lecture is well worth watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHwfZoNwRuo

Also here is his karate demonstration-again legally blind at this point:
