Back in the 70s, an artist buried a gold hare & published a kids book full of clues to where he hid it. A longread from imho the golden era of the genre (‘10s) on this gorgeous personal site www.planetslade.com/masquerade.h...

Here’s a holiday treat for the end of 2024: a high-quality transfer of Ricky Jay’s 1996 HBO card magic special, “to date the greatest card magic special ever produced, directed by David Mamet of all people”. [kottke.org]

Well this is something special, a holiday treat for the end of 2024: a group of archivists (including Chris Person) has uploaded an HBO magic special by Ricky Jay that has been largely unavailable since it aired in 199

Fascinating how little art there is about lockdown - like we collectively decided to just forget it. Bucking the trend - loved this doc. If only they could just stage Hamlet & stop being killed by other players…
