I like Ricky Jay quite a bit-it doesn't have a funny story to go along with it, but he's also very good.

Easy (not really)...it's a stacked deck...it's all show...he does a lot of false cuts and false shuffles, but the deck is still in the order it started in...however, that's not easy to do and requires a lot of practice...the original concept comes from Bill Malone's story countdown called "Sam the Bellhop"...

went to a bar at Boca Resort about 10-15 years ago...magic bar where roving magicians did tricks...I think it was called Bill Malone's, or something like that

Yep...that's the Bill Malone I'm talking about...dunno whether it was Bill you saw doing walk around...was he a heavyset guy with dark curly hair?

I missed the entire card trick, I was too busy watching the woman in the front row.

I couldn't remember the name of this one, but it reminded me of the Sam the Bellhop trick.

That's what I was saying...it's just a take-off of "Sam the Bellhop"...I'm down here in south Florida and belong to a magicians group (I spent several years as a professional entertainer in my youth) and know Bill Malone as he drops into the meeting now and then...even though we know it's a stacked deck with a series of false cuts and false shuffles, it's always a treat to see him do it...
