408: Richard Turner Q&A on "Dealt"

Following a recent screening of "Dealt", a documentary on the life of legendary card mechanic/magician Richard Turner, we conducted a Question and Answer session via Skype over the big screen in the theater. Richard gave us some insight into the making and production of this fascinating film. "Dealt" has not been widely released despite its critical international acclaim.

If you have not yet viewed the documentary, then you will be pleased to learn that the producers have released the digital download and DVD's which include additional scenes, more magic from Richard Turner, AND additional magic from the likes of Steve Forte, Jason England, Pop Haydn, Lennart Green, and much more!

00:50:44 - Product Review - "Snag" by SansMinds: borrowed ring appears on your neck chain (necklace). A bit angly and not easily resettable, but clever and recommended.
