Ricky Jay is widely considered one of the most knowledgeable and skilled sleight-of-hand experts in the United States. He is now well-known for his signature card tricks, card throwing, memory feats, and inimitable stage patter. At least two of his shows, Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants and On the Stem, were directed by David Mamet, who has also cast Jay in a number of his films. Jay has also appeared in productions by other directors, notably Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights and Magnolia, and season one of HBO's Deadwood as card sharp Eddie Sawyer.Until recently, Ricky Jay was listed in the Guinness Book of Records for throwing a playing card 190 ft at 90 miles per hour (the current record is 216 ft, by Rick Smith, Jr.). Ricky Jay can throw a playing card into a watermelon rind (which he refers to as the "thick, pachydermatous outer melon layer" of "the most prodigious of household fruits") from ten paces.Gary Cooley, painter and illustrator School, Center for Creative Studies, Detroit Gary Cooley Lived and worked New York City 1972 - 1987 Gary Cooley Lived and worked Detroit 1987 - 1998, Atlanta 1998 -2005 Gary Cooley, Award of merit, Society of Illustrators.THIS IS NOT A REPRODUCTION.
