For over 40 years, I performed as a close-up magician and stage illusionist, consulted with stage productions and TV shows, and met many of the very best performers of the 20th Century. Ricky Jay was in a class by himself. I can think of no greater compliment, but to say that his sleight of hand skills were equalled only by his subtle and nuanced acting ability. He is greatly missed.

@logandarklighter5 жыл бұрын
I love Ricky Jay's patter - his erudite way with words that hooks you in as much as the trick itself. In fact I love it so much that I truly don't need or care to know how the trick was done. Though the reveal is always special. And his way with cards is effortless. His voice and rhythm of speaking is soothing and hypnotic yet he can turn on a dime and make you laugh out loud. His dry humor is fantastic and almost "British" in it's sheer desiccation. At first glance he often seems to be a cynic. But the twinkle in his eyes belies that. I appreciate greatly the fact that he was a historian of magic as much as a practitioner. And it worries me greatly that the magicians, history, trivia and tidbits of the craft that he brought back into life and prominence might fade again, now that he himself is gone. Rest in Peace Ricky Jay. A magician's magician. You've perfected the final Prestige. The art of vanishing forever.
@smbvms5 жыл бұрын
I agree with you on the way his words are part of the trick and help draw you in. So many magicians think that "patter" means "tell a really long and boring story before doing the trick". Like, no one gives a shit if your great uncle was a magician and he taught you magic and this is the last trick he taught you before he died or whatever dude, just do the fucking trick. Ricky tells the story while actually doing the trick, and the story is actually about the trick, not just a coat of paint to dress it up.

A master giving a display of his craft, for the enjoyment and amazement of those lucky enough to witness the show. Mr Ricky Jay was a true titan in his chosen profession, and also found success in other areas such as film, and Hollywood films at that. So when the headlines announced that Ricky Jay had died today, I was momentarily saddened. His death marks the passing of another rare breed, a man close to uniqueness due to his mastery of his interests. I remember watching this show when it originally aired on HBO when I was a kid and I was utterly entranced by his performance just as I am now all these years later.

I figured out how the four Queens "get together" but how he makes them go away from the other three piles still eludes me. But even when you figure some of it out, the showmanship is still great to watch. If I had ever had the chance to meet him, I wouldn't have said something like "Hey, I saw how you X Y and Z..." Instead, I'd just say, "It doesn't really matter, does it?" He had a genuine love for the art.

The cups and balls were just a final flourish, I easily followed most of it. The story he told was actually far more fascinating than the trick was. The watermelon he kept hitting the same spot over and over until the rind softened enough to accept a corner. Got all that. But the counting? Insanely brilliant! A true master of the art. Think of it this way: Brand new deck, in order, ace through king; spade, heart, club, diamond. If I cut it exactly in half, and riffle it exactly every other card, my top four cards will be ace/ace/two/two, spades and clubs. My bottom four will be queen/queen/king/king, hearts and diamonds. The four in the middle would then be the king of spades/king of clubs/ace of hearts/ace of diamonds, with corresponding queens and twos and jacks and threes above and below and etc.. Keep doing this exponentially and you will realize that the deck is never truly shuffled, it's always stacked. Another way to look at it is like a Rubick's Cube, the very best can do it blindfolded in a matter of seconds. How? It's an algorithm, so many turns in certain directions automatically puts it back in order. He even says "31 down" as he pulls off exactly 31 cards and reveals an ace and then says something about probability as he pulls out another one. Mind-blowing...
