Watch Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay Movie Online No Survey Ricky Jay is a world-renowned magician, author, historian and actor (often a mischievous presence in the films of David Mamet and Paul Thomas Anderson) -- and a performer who regularly provokes astonishment from even the most jaded audiences. DECEPTIVE PRACTICE traces Jay's 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 Jay's inimitable voice, this is a remarkable journey inside the secretive world of magic and the small circle of eccentrics who are its perpetual devotees.

Review For Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay
"Deceptive Practice" lets us peer up close at what he's doing - camera tight on the cards, Jay's sleeves pushed up - and we still don't know how he does it; for lack of a better phrase, it's like magic. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times Aside from some references to misdirection, Jay offers no clue as to how he pulls off illusions with sleight of hand, but he performs them with such panache that you have little choice but to suspend disbelief. Lou Lumenick-New York Post To be able to find, nurture and share one's passion with such unceasing enthusiasm is surely the essence of magic itself. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News He always holds a card you don't see. Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times It's magic, pure and simple. Bob Mondello-NPR Well structured and dynamically edited, Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay relies on the famed magician himself to wax autobiographical with his usual charm, humor and panache. Ronnie Scheib-Variety There may be no such thing as "magic," but Ricky Jay's mastery of illusion really is magical. Kurt Loder-Reason Online They don't call it "magic" for nothing. This movie has plenty of enchantment to spare. Here is the best documentary of 2013, so far. Don't miss it. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com In Deceptive Practices, the entertainer pays his mentors and inspirations the ultimate tribute by turning a film ostensibly about himself into one fundamentally about all of them. Nathan Rabin-AV Club Rambling and unfocused, the film doesn't do justice to its subject. It will be a perfect fit for PBS fundraisers, however. Daniel Eagan-Film Journal International It never bothers to attempt the one thing we'd expect and hope from a documentary about Ricky Jay: It doesn't try to bamboozle us.
