  1. Seeing "Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants" sparked me to write my own 1-man magic show, which I've been working at, very slowly!

  4. My eyes were opened when I first read the New Yorker piece, "Secrets Of The Magus", by Mark Singer. Until then, I only knew of Ricky Jay as an actor who'd been in a bunch of David Mamet productions. I still haven't seen him perform in person, but I've watched a lot of videos online. Just spellbinding!
