Ricky Jay's fancy way of finding playing cards buried in a deck

I’ve always thought of that as part of his gimmick: he starts off his tricks in a very dull and casual way, almost as if he doesn’t care and is utterly bored with this dumb card thing, even talking about other things, and then as you’re lulled into being a little bored as well, all of a sudden he’s throwing cards around and making something amazing happen.
