Another clip of Ricky Jay calmly and assuredly being amazing with the Cups & Balls routine. Starts off huckstery, gets steadily more impressive, and the end will blow your mind.

I’m so glad I took the opportunity to see Ricky Jay a year or two ago when he came to the Boston Antiquarian Book Fair and talked about the history of magic in books, magazines, and posters. The man was encyclopedic.
Wished I had shared the mat with him when he still did aikido and the documentary on him, http://www.rickyjaymovie.com, is a fine introduction to this multi-talented extraordinary man.

In one of the deleted scene of the film, Gupta throws some playing cards at a wall and they stick to it, which shows Gupta can partly fight. In another deleted scene when Bond was shooting up the place, Gupta tries to throw a card at Bond, but misses and hits a henchman instead.
There was a missed opportunity.
