Timeline

1946

Ricky Jay was born on June 26, 1946 in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA as Richard Jay Potash.

1999

He is known for his work on Magnolia (1999), Boogie Nights (1997) and Heist (2001). He was married to Chrisann Verges.

2005

In 2005, the Christine Burgin Gallery in Manhattan hosted an exhibit of his "extensive collection of material related to the history of deception" - particularly his collection of 'spirit' photographs. In conjunction with the exhibit at the Burgin Gallery, he also gave a talk at the Metropolitan Museum of Art called "Sleight and Shadow.".

2015

Ricky Jay had a consulting firm (together with Michael Weber) called 'Deceptive Practices' that advised movie, TV, and theater directors on various illusions, magic secrets, and con artistry techniques that may be needed during their productions. Their services were used for example by director Christopher McQuarrie on Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015). McQuarrie wrote after Jay's death: "I was blessed to have the legendary Ricky Jay as a consultant on Rogue Nation. An off-handed comment he made inspired the climax of the opera sequence. It's safe to say it would not be the same scene without him. He was the greatest of a vanishing breed." [Nov.25, 2018].

2018

Stephen Fry wrote after Jay's death: "He had the chops alright. Saw him and his '52 Assistants' (in an air conditioned tent to keep his fingertips dry) and was blown away. Impossible feats. His book "Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women" a masterpiece" [Nov.25, 2018].
