Quotes by Ricky Jay
"Sitting with a deck of cards in your hand all day is an obsession. Visiting print shops and bookstores and libraries is an obsession. And writing about this is an obsession. I think, in general, most collectors are obsessed. I think the only form of a rationalized greed is when you're collecting something you are supposedly serious about."
Ricky Jay
"I've been really lucky in terms of film projects with people, terrific actors and also writers and directors that I really respect."
Ricky Jay
"Magicians from the nineteenth century threw cards distances, but I think I'm the first one who made a thing about using them as weapons."
Ricky Jay
"Every acting gig isn't the same, every writing job isn't the same, every live performance isn't the same - the challenge is the level of difficulty or ease, and that may vary."
Ricky Jay
"To obfuscate the reconstruction of the effect - when a magician is fooled by another magician doing magic. In my career that's not been the major passion, but it's been the passion of a number of my mentors. The crowning achievement for them would be to create magic good enough to fool other magicians."
