NYC magician?

Who is a good magician to see in NYC on a weekday, not necessariliy a big spectacular broadway style show? I'd like to see Ricky Jay, but his show isn't playing right now. And Penn and Teller defected to Vegas.

Sad to say, but the days of seeing Ricky Jay may be numbered; he sat next to me on a flight from NYC last week, and was strapped to an oxygen tank in the overhead luggage compartment. Emphysema, I believe, hopefully something that won't end his live performance career...

Check out to "Monday Night Magic", great small venue. They're at the St. Clement's Theater, on 46th between 9th and 10th

aaarrrgh, I only have Tuesday night free, unless "monday night" is a euphemism.

I'm sorry to hear about Ricky Jay, but you get major points for having sat next to him. Did he con you out of any money? :)
