...greatest innovators in history and the audience is dazzled not only by a performer’s dexterity but by the simple passion with which he shares his life’s work. In the process, Ricky Jay & His 52 Assistants, directed by David Mamet and ensconced in the lush Market Theater, registers as the most engaging show in town...
