@mielcarz I had the honor and pleasure of being a volunteer from the audience for a Ricky Jay show in DC in the early 00s. I was sitting right next to him, watching like a hawk, and could not figure out how the heck he did the trick.
@mielcarz Ricky Jay was among the greats! It was seeing him do a guest spot on some British show or other, as a teen, that made me realise magic could be for grown-ups. He did his four aces routine and it blew me away.
