Why I love the New Yorker

This article on Ricky Jay, who not only is not only one of the most gifted sleight of hand magicians of his time but also a great historian of magic, is nearly 15,000 words long. And every word is worth reading.

The article is from 1993, and I wish someone else would write such an article about him in 2009. It would be equally interesting to see what he has done in the last 16 years.
