More useful Ricky Jay trivia with which to impress your friends Famous for his astounding ability to throw playing cards, and is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for throwing a playing card a hundred and ninety feet at ninety miles an hour. From ten paces he could throw a playing card into the flesh of a watermelon.  |

Requiscat in pace, Mr. Jay, one of the great students, teachers, and artists of his craft. This one came as a complete shock, but may the Almighty enjoy the skill and artistry you put into throwing a playing-card into the thick pachydermatous outer melon layer.
