Plot Story : Ricky Jay is a world-renowned magician, author, historian and actor (often a mischievous presence in the films of David Mamet and Paul Thomas Anderson) -- and a performer who regularly provokes astonishment from even the most jaded audiences. DECEPTIVE PRACTICE traces Jay's achievements and influences, from his apprenticeship at age 4 with his grandfather, to such now-forgotten legends as Al Flosso, Slydini, Cardini and his primary mentors, Dai Vernon and Charlie Miller. Featuring rare footage from his 1970s TV appearances (doing 3-card Monte with Steve Martin on The Dinah Shore Show) and told in Jay's inimitable voice, this is a remarkable journey inside the secretive world of magic and the small circle of eccentrics who are its perpetual devotees.

Review For Movie Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay

The film offers all manner of mind-blowing tricks, as well as a colorful history of the evolution of magic and illusions, especially through the 20th century.
Tom Long-Detroit News

Jay's own personality and intellect steer the film, and he's such a finely honed performer that he easily carries it off...What we get here, simply, is time spent with Ricky Jay, and that's time well spent.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle

Molly Bernstein and Alan Edelstein's film works first and foremost as a showcase of Jay's skills, but he's also an ideal interview subject ...
Adam Nayman-Globe and Mail

A documentary portrait of the magician, author and actor who is known as one of today's preeminent practitioners of close-up magic.
Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post

For heaven's sake! Another documentary I didn't know I was waiting for-and am equally glad to see.
Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic

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 filmmaker is annoyingly passive and star-struck,as Ricky Jay, speaks only to his chosen agenda.
Gerald Peary-Arts Fuse

The splendid feats and dazzling card magic direct our attention away from the inner life of a large, glowering and cryptic figure. You learn a lot from Jay, and yet he keeps his mystique.
Richard von Busack-MetroActive

I happen to love magic tricks. Deceptive Practice gave me a healthy dose of them, plus a good bit of history as well, and I appreciated it.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid

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
