Background
Turan was born in İstanbul. In 1957, at the age of seven, he attended acrobatic festivals in İstanbul and took an interest in the subject. The following year, he met the acrobat Selim Oktulmus in Taksim Square, and expressed his own desire to be an acrobat. However, Oktulmus did not accept him as a student because he did not believe that Turan was skilled enough. By 1967, Turan had become a prominent acrobat. For the first time, he worked in the İstanbul Circle. In 1970, he went to Europe and became a successful acrobat there. In the 1990s, he worked exclusively in Turkey, taking part in various festivals. He currently works in dentistry, but still performs as an acrobat.
