Ricky Jay and his 52 Assistants tickets are now available online to be bought or sold at Stubhub.com. Past a certain age, we stop believing in magic. Not just the wonders of the imagination that children are privy to, but even the illusions crafted by professional magicians. It all falls into the realm of the unreal, and, while we follow pursuits in the adult world with passion, magic is quietly ignored to death. Ricky Jay is one of the art form’s greatest defenders, preservers and practitioners. His talent on stage—both for his skill and humor—has earned him a reputation for being a master deceiver. He’s crossed over into the film world as well, becoming an active consultant on numerous productions involving magic and its history. In time, he met director and writer David Mamet, whose work seems obsessed with swindlers, criminals and Hollywood filmmakers (and often all three at once). Jay has appeared in many of Mamet’s own films, proving himself as an actor and comedian time and time again. Magic is his first love, however, and Jay still performs on stage during his show Ricky Jay and his 52 Assistants (the 52 assistants, in case you haven’t guessed, are his deck of cards). It’s a unique show—Jay insists on a disclaimer that it might not be appropriate for those under the age of 17, and in fact no one under the age of 17 is permitted into the theater. But Jay emphasizes that it’s not due to adult content. It’s that magic is so readily available for kids—and, really, the magic one does for kids is very different than that done for adults. There’s a whole different world to be entered into, but Jay wants to make sure adults don’t forget the wonder of magic they experienced when they were younger. Jay’s show includes many sleight of hand tricks, which have none of the gaudy flash of a typical Vegas magician. But his work is quick, clever, and still more stunning, whether performing a card trick or explaining the history of the cup and ball trick. Don’t pass up the opportunity to see him live.
