Ricky Jay

I always knew there was a reason I used msn messenger - I just didn't know what it was yet. A short series of films starring Ricky Jay as ESP Billy have now gone online, with the pilot viewable on a website, the subsequent episodes only through microsoft's messenger client.

There are plenty of none-too-subtle plugs for Microsoft product (boo! hiss!) but it's good to know Ricky Jay is still alive and getting paid. He's the best sleight of hand man I've ever seen and watching him slice melons into pieces by throwing playing cards through them is what I'd call ideal Sunday evening viewing.
