Sleight of Hand and Three-Card Monte

At a performance in London, magician Ricky Jay demonstrates three-card monte in his one-man show, Ricky Jay and his 52 Assistants, which premiered Off-Broadway in 1994. Jay is part of the continuum of sleight-of-hand artists, whose tradition goes back more than a century. American Masters – Ricky Jay: Deceptive Practice premieres Friday, January 23 at 9 pm on PBS.
