LOS ANGELES: THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE

Want a sure bet for an evening of classy entertainment? Then put your money on Ricky Jay, Hollywood's favorite sleight-of-hand performer whose facility with a deck of cards (among other talents) offers consistent audience payoff in his latest one-man show at the Geffen Playhouse... Effortless stage presence and dazzling technique...

Audiences who know Jay primarily from his card routines may be pleased to learn that the performer is an equally gifted raconteur...His method of seduction is a combination of wit, class and strategic understatement. Being conned has seldom felt this enjoyable.
