    Ricky's best trick is self control. Every motion and word he makes is deliberate and with purpose. He controls what you see him do.

    DMTsleeper I've seen Mr. Jay's live show (from the front row, as a matter of fact) in Manhattan and I can assure you that he does no editing (nor does he need any) to "make it look like he is better than he really is". He IS that good.

    He's not necessarily trying to WOW you with "Magic" or the Trick. He's simply showing you what Years of Practice in Manipulation can do.

    "The Guarantee"--believe it or not--is a self-working illusion, not of Mr. Jays's invention...but the presentation is pure Ricky. The outcome might vary, but the dealer always ends up with the winning hand. Nifty.

    Before I even knew he did this stuff, I saw him on The Heist in 2002. It was just a small role, but he had a certain something about him that was just cool that I liked. The way he spoke, the way he said things....just a good vibe.

      I’d seen him in Nolan’s The Prestige in a small role, and had also seen him in PTA’s Boogie Nights and Magnolia, the aforementioned Nolan film I had also read he was the magical consultant and found out he was a stage magician.
      Brilliant sleight-of-hand and great oral speaking skills to tell a story with the manipulations and tricks and some of the urban legends of the magic world!

    Ace 3 suited or even ace 3 offsuit is an easy call for a 3x raise. Aces are also probably just a flat depending on stack sizes. I would probably fold the kings on the turn depending on the sizing. Rip Mr Jay. One of the greatest to ever handle a deck.

    At around 12:29, before showing the river card (the 4th 3), Ricky says that the man should know that Ricky doesn’t have 4th 3 card because Ricky would not have called the bets up until then if he had a 3.
    Will someone please explain that statement. I would think that if Ricky was holding (J,3), that he would not either call or raise.
