The Ballad of Ricky Jay Episode

The Ballad of Ricky Jay Episode: A Visit to Sotheby's, The Story of Ricky Jay, The Auction, The Magician as Storyteller, A Collection Remixed to a Collection, Broadsheets and Posters, Showmanship, The Secret to Magic, A Life Well Lived, The Circus Leaves Town. As I mention twice in the episode and mention here, the Ricky Jay book Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women is easily one of my all-time favorite books, a glory to enjoy, and one of Ricky Jay's lasting legacies. I recommend it highly.
