1. Guys like him are fun to watch. It’s kind of spooky sometimes. I have a buddy, not as good as Ricky Jay, but we were at a place in Atlanta and he started doing some “magic” and a couple cute girls ran out of the room crying, scared the shit out of them. No one got lucky that night.

3. He’s Cy Tolliver’s right hand man, Eddie, in Deadwood. That’s where I know him from. The card tricks are cool, I had no idea. RIP

5. Its more than hours of practice to reach this level of card manipulation, its a fine art. He will be missed but never forgotten.

6. My guess:
   That’s his deck.
   Not a new deck from the store.
   The cards are different sizes.

9. David Mamet’s House of Games was an amazing movie.
