« on: November 25, 2018, 07:26:14 PM »

Ricky Jay, the master-showman magician, actor, scholar, special effects consultant and author who
was called "the most gifted sleight-of-hand artist alive" by writers for the most prestigious publications
of his time, died on Saturday at his home in Los Angeles.  He was believed to be 70, although some
sources said he was 72.

Winston Simone, his manager, confirmed the death but did not specify a cause.
