Oh so good... ;)

No wonder they wanted him in Deadwood

cupmab: alls

Seems transparent to me. Watch his hands from the beginning, no big deal.

cup my balls

how

Crazy this dude was in a James Bond movie

Underwater Demolition

mind blown...

The best thing about these performances by Ricky Jay is that he's doing really clever and entertaining magic tricks and yet he's such a showman and great storyteller that the trick becomes almost incidental and you find yourself more interested in the story

i thought it said rick cups james' balls

I’m unsure if Ricky spent more time memorizing his patter or his brilliant sleight of hand 🧐 That’s a LOT of unnecessary patter the audience will never remember to create those minor moments of misdirection. One of a kind 💯 I’ve learned so much by watching this man. Aspiring magicians, Ricky Jay is THE MAN!

Amazing that Jay was able to show his cups and balls! Usually cameramen are physically and mentally unable to film solo cups.

at 3:02 what the f...

i dont go for demon tricks

Love love love him! The great Ricky Jay- magician, card manipulator, actor, author, historian, librarian, narrator and raconteur. RIP Miestro.❤

Master sleight of hand and great actor also

If I knew how to do this I wud be very rich

Amazing

Spell binding the lecture is beautiful

Bravo!

Underwater demolition y’all

The most amazing thing about this is that all of the patter is true. Google everything he says.

😴😴

I wonder why he doesn't use different colored balls.

At about 2:10, you see the ball in his right hand after it appeared he placed it under the center cup. I DIDN"T see him place it under the cup to his right. Thought he put it under the other one. Only an assumption on my part.

Sign of calm and confidence: performing magic tricks without getting stuttered while narrating a story he speaks

Look out everyone, underwater demolition!!

Bravo ! Please upload more!

I’m so sad I was never able to see him perform. God speed sir.

Send me any amount of money to my bank account and I will return you 4 times the amount back. Fi

Wow

now this is a show i would pay money to go see

The Amazing Maleeni!!!

I remember watching Ricky Jay with my grandpa, world famous magician Bob Miller.

Beautiful and fascinating

I have no words.

Folks better check their pockets after his shows. I imagine lots of wallets go missing around him

Now that’s a performance ! Loved it

What? Its fruit?

The first few misdirections are a bit clunky, a bit obvious, a bit too theatrical. I didn’t realize that they were performed that way on purpose to serve as a massive misdirection at the end of this routine. Genius.

Ricky Jay's greatest magic trick was appearing in eight million movies and TV shows, despite always just playing himself, just kind of there, like an old bloodhound, never doing an accent, barely even emoting XD Rest in Prestidigitation Mr Jay

the cups and balls are for magicians what the aristocrats joke is for comedians

Love watching Ricky cup his balls

Still can't believe Ricky has passed away, such a master magical card wizard that even had Penn & Teller left baffled over whilst scratching their heads aswell as the magic circle! It was a joy to see Ricky play one of the Bond villains in the Bond film, Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) playing the role as Henry Gupta who was the mastermind behind the little red box that is the Royal Navy's fleet encoder that can render a ship off coarse such as the HMS Devonshire after it has been tinkered with! Staring alongside Pierce Brosnan (as 007 James Bond) and Jonathan Pryce as the power hungry mad media mogul Elliot Carver & his wife Paris played by Teri Hatcher to name a few! Suffice to say that the International magic circle most certainly will not be the same without Ricky! The best card magician in the entire world by far!!! RIP Big Chap!

This dude was on Deadwood. Holy smokes.

Once you spot it you're no less amazed at his skill. My god he was good.

Great banter. Well done Sir

I remember this routine from the X-Files! Love the story telling and the dry humour. Anyone who’s watched Penn and Teller knows what’s going on, but it’s all the more impressive because it’s so smooth.

Rip Ricky
