Information

Escape Artist 1982

Written by Jay himself, this movie is a story about a young man with an incredible Houdini-like talent who is exploited by a number of greedy adults. Harry Anderson was in this film also. The main star was Griffin O'Neal. From what I found, I don't think Jay gets much credit for this.

House of Games 1987

Directed by Jay's friend David Mamet and co-staring Jay himself, this 1987 movie features a bar, House of Games, where people get together to play cards. One of the cons in the movie is from Ricky Jay's firm, Deceptive Practices. Jay plays George/Vegas Man.
