29 - 1: Ricky Jay: Deceptive Practice

This portrait of the inimitable magician Ricky Jay delves into the mysterious world of sleight-of-hand and its small circle of eccentric devotees. Jay is also a best-selling author, historian, actor and a leading collector of antiquarian books and artifacts. Told largely in Jay's own distinctive voice, the documentary traces the story of his achievement and that of other master magicians.
