Dealt (2017)
Luke Korem’s documentary presents Richard Turner, a sixty-two-year-old man considered one of the foremost card mechanics in the world—who also happens to be completely blind. While an enjoyable profile, the film doesn’t explore quite enough of the subject’s past, or even his present, to fully satisfy. Still, Mr. Turner’s exceptional talent is evident, and the doc worth watching.
