Default Magician/Actor Ricky Jay dead at 72

I'm finally getting around to watching Deadwood and he's great in that, but his acting pales in comparison to his sleight of hand ability. He was one of the best.

I know how to do that first trick. Not really sleight of hand. I learned it as a kid.

edit - Not true. He did it much more impressively.

Anyway, RIP Ricky Jay.

Ricky Jay was also a regular in David Mamet films.
