Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay Movie Review
The magic in this documentary portrait of actor and stage illusionist Ricky Jay comes mainly from his fond recollections of old performers.J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
The larger subjects, eloquently evoked, are the sources of his knowledge and inspiration, and the singular tradition within which he works and flourishes.
Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal
Fittingly, there's a lot to try to keep track of in "Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay."
Tom Russo-Boston Globe
The stories are amusing, but the film tells us hardly anything about who Jay is offstage. We get a guided tour of his passion, but never encounter the man himself.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
It reveals the philosophy behind Jay's art, a view of life that examines illusions from every which way, and finds meaning in the magic.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer
This documentary provides an elegant, enthralling peek behind the curtain and into the you-won't-trust-your-eyes world of this celebrated contemporary conjurer.
Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times
Magic and Magical
Jean Lowerison-ReviewExpress.com
Offers us a peek into a fervent force of creativity - as with many great artists, it's one of which we have limited understanding though all the more appreciation.
Matthew Sorrento-Film International
Ricky Jay only lets you see what he wants you to see when he's on stage. Doesn't it make sense that a film about him would be similarly elusive? And sometimes even magical?
Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com
It's not the tightest Documentary I've ever seen, but it offers a rare look into the life of that charismatic, mysterious character that is Ricky Jay. If you're a fan of magic, card tricks, or Jay.... definitely check it out.
Austin Kennedy-Film Geek Central
If you like magic, I bet you'll love it. I don't, and even I had fun.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
Although the subject doesn't come through in high definition, his legacy is hypnotic, celebrated and studied here in a manner that's wholly satisfying and often eye-crossingly mesmerizing.
Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com
...a must for anyone who's ever had the urge to pull a coin from someone's ear or even just wondered 'How did he *do* that?'
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
Maybe this is a niche film for magic lovers only, but the remarkable and many feats of magical distraction should just about please anyone who likes to be entertained and challenged
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews
DECEPTIVE PRACTICE is a fascinating study of one man's mania to attain perfection... Ricky Jay right now has the compulsive desire to be better than his fiercest competitor, Ricky Jay of ten minutes ago.
Mark R. Leeper-Mark Leeper's Reviews
There may be no such thing as "magic," but Ricky Jay's mastery of illusion really is magical.
Kurt Loder-Reason Online
They don't call it "magic" for nothing. This movie has plenty of enchantment to spare. Here is the best documentary of 2013, so far. Don't miss it.
