Learned Pigs & Fireproof Women. Unique, Eccentric and Amazing Entertainers

Ricky Jay is perhaps the world’s foremost living magician. He isn’t to be found onstage with lions, or suspending himself high over Las Vegas; he’s a sleight-of-hand artist of the highest order, the sort who takes a ten-dollar note from your hand—after you’ve torn off a small, identifying corner—and returns you a lemon and a paring knife so you can cut open the fruit to find the citrus-soaked note inside. Jay is also a scholar of the history of the arts of illusion, and he is said to know more about the guild of mysterious and magical performers than anyone else alive today.
