... and his 52 assistants?

Where can I find video of Ricky Jay performing?

I'd really like to see Ricky Jay doing some of his sleight-of-hand wizardry, but he's holed up in LA of all place just now. I'm looking for examples of his magic act that I can watch online or on DVD, preferably a whole act. I've seen the little bits he does in Deadwood and various Mamet movies, as well as that Bob Dylan video. Anyone know where I can look?

He's in the new movie The Prestige. (though it's not mainly about him)

His IMDB listing shows all the stuff he's been in. Gives the titles of his TV specials, which you can then try to find for sale or swap somewhere.

Here's his website too.

Sadly, his HBO special "Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants" never made it to video. But you might fish the torrents...
