How quick do your hands have to be to pull something off like this?

ricky jay:

I think he opened his broadway show with the first one, or pretty close to the open. The video is not great, but there are no cuts:

Wow.

Ricky Jay is definitely one of my 5 or so favorite people on Earth. In two of those links he does an excellent job of one-upping himself.

As a side note, that episode of the X Files he was on is excellent.

If you ever, ever get a chance to see him live, you MUST take it. Some of the seats were literally as close as the camera, he did like 70-80 mins of close-up card 'tricks' like that one or better, but obvs it's all dexterity and speed and practice.
Beg, borrow and steal to get tix if he goes on the road or does B-way again.

I showed the vid to my dad and he told me how he does it. but he said I couldn't tell because there's too many of you to kill and ad's ninja is out of business.

I know how he does it, it's called practice for 10-20 years.
