DECEPTIVE PRACTICE traces Jays achievements and influences from his apprenticeship at age 4 with his grandfather to such now-forgotten legends as Al Flosso Slydini Cardini and his primary mentors Dai Vernon and Charlie Miller. Featuring rare footage from his 1970s TV appearances (doing 3-card Monte with Steve Martin on The Dinah Shore Show) and told in Jays inimitable voice this is a remarkable journey inside the secretive world of magic and the small circle of eccentrics who are its perpetual devotees.<br />DVD Features<br />Jays Colleagues on Camera Paul Thomas Anderson Steve Martin David Mamet etc.<br />Mentors and Magic Ricky Jay and Michael Weber<br />Bob Dylan Video featuring Ricky Jay<br />-Never-Before- Seen Performance Footage Crazy Anecdotes and Animation<br />The New Yorker Festival with Mark Singer<br />Theatrical Trailer<br />The New Yorker Profile of Ricky Jay by Mark Singer (DVD-ROM)
