With the recent passing of Ricky Jay, I am reminded of both the value and loneliness associated with being a collector of rare artifacts. It brings me great joy to have friends over at my place and show them all of the strange things I love and appreciate, even though I know they'll never appreciate these things on as deep a level as I do. Joy, and yet seclusion. This item is one of my favorites and currently one of 2 from Ricky Jay that I own. Mathias Buchinger was a very special person. - - - - - #rickyjay #magic #mathiasbuchinger #artifact #artifacts #magician #magic #cardistry #magictrick #magictricks #magicians #illusion #cardmagic #playingcards #sleightofhand #illusionist #art #cardporn #streetmagic #magical #cards #photography #instamagic #cardtrick #theory #show #cardtricks #murphysmagic #artofmagic #closeupmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqu5G-IgQ-S/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vr008uw1paxo
