Hey theory 11!
So I was wanting to know something.
I was thinking about the late and great Ricky Jay today.. about his passing last year and his work etc.
And I was thinking.
I remember reading a few times Ricky calling himself a "magician in exile"
And how apart from work relating to his company he really didnt have anything to do with magic other then his own work and his "meditative practise" as he called it.
And it got me thinking...
Why was he not really involved with the current "scene".. not a great descriptive word, but you get my understanding..
Of magic???
From what I know and forgive me if I am incorrect but after his original tutoring from Dai and his visits.. he never really was at the magic castle and I've looked at his mentions at any form of gatherings and it seems hard to find.
I mite be completely wrong about this and I'm happy to be completely corrected as to learn more about it.
But Dai was the sun of magic and people travelled far and wide to be around him and to learn from him.. and one of them was of course Ricky.
I just assumed Ricky would of been more involved in magic.
Thank you for reading
