Always a HUGE fan of this guy. One of the best card mechanics and slight-of-hand magicians to ever walk the face of the Earth, skills matched only by his storytelling and patter whilst performing. Pure entertainment personified imo.

Many moons ago he did an HBO special ... if you've got the time, give the whole thing a spin. Otherwise, at least watch the opening and closing sets.

Great talent...I wonder if he divulged any of his secrets before passing.

That sucks. I really liked that guy. He was good in House of Games.

Deceptive Practice was a great documentary about him.

He didn't have to fill up the squirt gun.

I always thought Lindsey Crouse was a fine looking woman going back to Slapshot.
