Ricky Jay
Richard Jay Potash (born 1948), known professionally as Ricky Jay, is an American stage magician, actor, and writer. In a profile for the ''New Yorker'', Mark Singer called Jay "perhaps the most gifted sleight-of-hand artist alive". Jay is best known for performing sleight of hand, card tricks, card throwing, memory feats, and stage patter. He has also written extensively on magic and its history. He has acted in the films ''The Spanish Prisoner'', ''Heist'', ''Boogie Nights'', and ''Magnolia'' and in the HBO series ''Deadwood''.
==Early life==
Jay prefers not to discuss the details of his childhood. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, on an unspecified date, probably in 1948, to a middle-class Jewish family, and grew up in Elizabeth, New Jersey.〔(Magician With A Lot Up His Sleeve | Article from The Washington Post | HighBeam Research )〕〔http://blogs.forward.com/the-arty-semite/175481/the-greatest-living-magician/〕 He has never spoken publicly about his parents, with the exception of a single anecdote: "My father oiled his hair with Brylcreem and brushed his teeth with Colgate," he recalled. “He kept his toothpaste in the medicine cabinet and the Brylcreem in a closet about a foot away. Once, when I was ten, I switched the tubes. All you need to know about my father is that after he brushed his teeth with Brylcreem he put the toothpaste in his hair.”〔 His grandfather, Max Katz, was a certified public accountant and amateur magician who introduced Jay to magic.〔(The World Wide Website of Ricky Jay )〕〔http://rickyjay.com/hammer_exhibit.pdf〕
