Interesting film about a great close up magician and the people who inspired him.

I was most taken with how everything in Ricky's life revolves around magic. His youth, his fun, his employment.

There's a younger protege of Ricky - Michael - who shares an anecdote about a magician that he was touring with. He was older, and Michael had gone out on the town. When he came back to the hotel, the magician was in the dark on his bed and dong a card trick with a deck of cards in the air. I loved this story - what a great commitment to your craft!

Heard about this through Merlin Mann on a podcast.
