He really is amazing. You can watch that whole show online. It's like an hour long, but it is outstanding to watch if you are a card guy, and still amazing if you aren't

Thanks for posting all the other links babyshanks. I think this cup and balls routine is great and I'm really looking foward to watching the rest.

Personally, I never really liked Ricky Jay as a magician. I'm not entirely sure why, I guess I've just never really found him that engaging an entertainer. On watching that cups and balls routine I found it a bit dull, slightly too long, and rather too easy to follow his sleight of hand.

Perhaps that's just a taste issue though...

Each to their own I guess - I really like Ricky Jay. I find his presentation entertaining and amusing. I also really enjoyed the other links for the rest of the show.
