The world lost a wonderful magician this week. The above video is by no means Ricky Jay’s most baffling trick, but in some sense it is one of his most quintessential. Who else but Ricky Jay would think of pulling this off this way.

That one’s a little transparent… I shouldn’t say any more except he gave the best gift of all: The illusion of choice…
It’s not going to fool those versed in such things, but for the record, I’ll point out the extensive spectator shuffles and the position of the chosen card at the end…
Keep your eye on the “choices” he gives the two…
I should add, in all honesty, Ricky Jay has not only fooled me with some of his other tricks… he has out and out baffled me…
That was a really great (magic) trick!!! 🙂
Who else would give you a lesson in Japanese cinema along with his dose of magic?
