He does the best card trick I have ever seen in my life and like penn and teller I have no clue how he does it and I keep watching it trying to figure it out with no luck
Jens Behrendt Practice 4 hours or more a day about something you like will never feel like a work at all. It will feel more like playing a game. And we never feel tired when we play don't we?
for his black belt test, he had to fight 10 rounds with black belts, each round a different black belt. weve all seen those movies of a blind kung fu master, he is the real life version of it
@@kittysplode he's went to tv shows, appeared in famous tv series' he also fooled penn and teller. behind his story, i believe he's also been noticed everywhere around america so i'm sure he's worth not just $60k.

PS: Insulting a hardworking blind man is not funny and definitely not cool, just plain asshole-ic...
if u watch the whole video at the MIT he says he spent first 17 years (i think) practising with an expert that even tricked houdini...and that that guy wanted to "misslead" him giving him the instructions he was thinking as impossible, admitting that only 17 yrs later, but Richard has done it none the less
@@brunorabuzin2370 Dai "The Professor" Vernon, the Canadian magician. Taylor calls him his mentor, but they did not practice together for 17 years day in day out. They met probably for a couple of hours once a month or so, and Taylor would demonstrate his stuff and Vernon would say, no, boy , this looks too stiff, too unnatural. He would put his hands on Taylor's hands and demonstrate the flow of movement as it ideally ought to be. Then Taylor would put in a few thousand hours of practice, probably a couple of months, and show the Professor his results. Then the Professor would suggest the next thing and on and on they'd go. Until Taylor started suggesting stuff that was too mind boggling for the almost 100 years old Vernon even to imagine :)
Him losing his sight from 9 makes sense now. I seen the blind youtuber who has been blind since birth and he does not keep his eyes open because he never needed to and does not probably know what it looks like but to me it is interesting why would one keep his eyes open (when not needed) and why other does not, but loosing sight after 9 years of life which is already plenty, he probably knows that visually open eyes look better - even if it takes a little muscle work to keep them that way.
I have a question I wish I could ask him...When you were practicing how would you know which cards were where...if it was wrong how did you know what to change to do it right when you can't see them...my thought was maybe when he 1st started out he had them marked(feel) then when it was right he no longer needed them marked...you have to start someway at 1st when you dont know anything....hes very very good at this...although I've only seen him do this one trick...not saying he cant but it would be interesting to see him in a game when nobody knows who he is...see what he could do....deal like two royal flushes to the same guy in a row...I'd pay to watch that...hehehe
Well I think he has given the answer to that question in the video : he said the loss of sight has enhanced his sense of touch. So my guess is he uses specially designed cards using unnoticeable marks that he and only he can "read" in braille.
Common guy, don't be fool by him that easily. All his tricks are easily done with the special card deck, I had it before. He lies about controlling all those cards, no, no, no, no, lies lies lies. The special deck requires no skill and no eye sight to perform all his tricks, guarantee.
Blined yes good chiledhood and parent s backing him yes. Not bline but had to work sence I was like 14 for food. I feel anyone can do anything with the right backing its if you get it or not he got it
So I have watched a few of his videos now and he ALWAYS has the same table. Is he making moves under the table? If not then why have the same table with the same covering? I know he is amazing either way but...
Is he an inspiration? My man was sleeping 4 hours a day for 20 years shuffling cards. Like idk. If that’s what he likes great but am I expected to do that too? I don’t think the average person is built that way
He became the best card mechanic who ever lived without vision. That's the inspirational part. He is living proof how dedication can overcome your shortcomings, even if it is something so sever like missing vision.
Habit and style, the feel of it. The weight. And I think there's a heck a lot more to this guy than it seems. That's no ordinary watch. It's a freaking ROLEX Daytona I think. WOW.
Richard *HAS NOT* been blind since age nine. There's several of his Magic Castle shows on here where he _clearly_ has no problem seeing the cards, the people sitting around him, or any other objects, and nor does he _act_ like he's blind. *LEGALLY BLIND PEOPLE CAN STILL SEE* . *TOTALLY BLIND PEOPLE CANNOT SEE AT ALL* .
He trained to be able to look at exactly what he is doing and who he is talking to based on where it’s at and how far away someone is from him, you should watch his documentary or some interviews bozo
@@thebros279 He's also trained to _deceive_ you, dip dock. Read what you wrote and apply the same logic to NON BLIND people because they do the same thing. A non blind person looks at exactly what they're doing and who they're talking to based on where "its" at and how far away someone is from them. Just because you believe he had to "train" to do that, well let me tell you, WE ALL DID. I'm doing it right now. A shceister who has perfect vision can say the exact same thing. I've seen several of his videos. Why does a blind man need a wrist watch? "Oh, its to make him look like he not blind." Well that just defeats the purpose of his whole act, doesn't it, which is, he's blind. If you think he's totally blind and cannot see at all, I have some ocean front property in Kansas you may be interested in.
MEMES virtually every video of him someone comments on his watch...ever stop to think Rolex gave it to him? Great advertisement being on the greatest card mechanic in the world I'd say.
Don't know about this particular watch, but a friend of mine is blind and he uses a watch that talks to him with the press of a button. He can hear it, he doesn't have to see it.

when he does the riffle you can see him take each pile in oppisite hands and he just does that until he knows the cards are the right way again
You must be blind, too.
Those are not card tricks, he is card mechanic, he just cheat a little bit
His card tricks are so simple actually. I own one of those special deck before, requires no skills and no eye sight needed.

Why does he need a Ice Blue Daytona if he can't see though?
He couldn't see that they sold him a fake watch for 50K+.
Lol that's not a 50k watch. It's one of my favorite watches, they are $15-20k. Some all gold Daytonas are close to 50k tho.

When he would practice, how did he know if he was ever wrong?
As far as I know he wasn't completely blind when he started practicing.

He can see shadows in his peripheral vision as well
What about his skills with other things, other than cards? How useful are cards? Just for entertainment and parallel/metaphorical inspiration?
He also has a blac belt in karate if that helps?
People talking about his watch. I would believe it's like smoking.
It's nothing important at all, but when you were a kid, it bring memories.
Braille watches exist. His is probablly one of those.

I don't know if he is rich ,
If he isn't , did any ..... think of funding an eye Operation for him ?
"Play the cards you're dealt". But it helps if you can fix the deck.
The fifth ace, the third eye, stuff like that.
why does he have a watch tho

The person who says it can't be done should not interrupt the person doing it.
That $70k Daytona though 🤤
Interesting that he wears a watch
Great story great man
Why does he have a clock?
There are watches for blind people.
It's called a watch. Blind people can want/have a specialized Rolex.
It's a $50,000 Rolex Daytona Ice Blue. It's not "specialized". No idea why he'd have it.
I was thinking the same thing. Why would he have a watch he couldn't see.
Don't get me wrong he is one of the best card sharks to have even lived. But sometimes I think he might be a con man.
why does he wear a watch?
It's a vision impaired watch. Basically has Braille on it
is this really your takeaway from this guy

Bcoz he’s awesome that’s why
why he have a watch, even though he cant see?
you have special blind people watches, where you can open the glass and feel the clock, or some where you press a button and it tells you the time
I wonder if he knows he’s wearing a watch or just a bracelet
