In addition to one of Jay on Charlie Millers, they put out this video featuring memories of the incomparable Dai Vernon.

  1. Anyone know when it is going to air on WNED? I can find no sign of it on the main channel - only on "Thinkbright" whatever the heck that is.

    1. Hi Jon. I can't easily find the info either. I reached out to someone at PBS via Twitter. Will let you know if I hear back.

  2. I happen to be in the US at the moment and just found out that the Ricky Jay feature is available on Netflix. No way to check if it is available of the Canadian Netflix but worth a look.

    Only those who get over-the-air digital can see it on ThinkBright.
