Ricky Jay was an absolute genius and legend.

[@leafbelly]

I love the childlike excitement Dave has while interviewing Ricky Jay. You can tell he's really engaged. Ricky was such an interesting character and is definitely missed.

[@thepoisonmonkeys]

Ricky Jay was a one of a kind talent and entertainer.

[@cwbrooks5329]

Love Ricky Jay. Dave was so great with these kinds of guests; Johnny Carson, too. It's always fun when the host is having a good time.

[@nogi7028]

Heck no Carson disliked magicians. He always tried to give them a hard time

[@cwbrooks5329]

@@nogi7028 NOOooooo. Johnny LOVED magicians. When he was 12 he started performing as "The Great Carsoni." He was an early fan of Lance Burton when he was still doing a cool show in NYC, and Carson was also a great fan of The Amazing Randi, and even consulted him on the best way to foil "mentalist" Uri Gellar when he appeared on the Tonight Show. ( That's a great segment, BTW, if you've never seen it.)

When I was in grade school, I used to take a weekly 70-mile bus trip through the piney woods to meet with J.B. Bobo and others at a "magician's round table." Circa 1960.

Oh man, Ricky's line about a bird in the shower went over everyone's head

[@endokrin7897]

A bird, as in a Lady.... Right?

[@perrymalcolm3802]

One of the last of the absolute entertainment giants and magic historians! Sad when he left, n thankful of the film n books we have left!

[@djzouke]

an extraordinary man both learned and humble Rick Jay RIP

[@twlightzone2065]

This is one of the best interviews I've seen with Ricky .

[@zik316]

His mastery of magic always astounded me.

[@thedude4672]

Love Ricky Jay Deceptive Practices is a great documentary

[@CampaignPictures]

Miss Ricky Jay!

[@davidleavitt835]

To have Ricky Jay on Penn and Teller Fool Us would've been a dream. That would have been excellent.

[@JDL0427]

I was a big Ricky Jay fan. He played a great part as the cameraman in Boogie Nights. He was an incredible showman with how he interacted with the audience. I especially loved the Cards As Weapons segment where he could whip regular playing cards into a a watermelon.

[@paulhammons7077]

They clash a bit in the beginning. But it ends well 😅

[@FrankBenlin]

Thanks, Dave.

[@mdgarciab]

I love this dude so much

[@gasser5001]

RJ, truly one of a kind.

[@robclarkson5356]

Super interview, Dave.

[@johnnynbk]

He was great in Last Days, one of the best parts of a grim film.

[@Opus313]

I have a shower trick too, but no one would want to see it!

[@S1L3NTG4M3R]

haha

[@TurtleTimeVoiceOvers]

Ricky passed away in 11/2018.

[@oceanwoods]

Dave taps the card after knowingly Does it change?

[@zindi1138]
