37:51 ..that picture clearly describes his negotiable affection. Either he cut her head off on a wooden slab, or vise versa. "What a relaxing voice eh?" 🤪 ..jeez
Ricky Jay. The man devoted his life to what he loved: the art of illusion, and bringing a child-like sense of wonder to his audiences. A master craftsman, historian, consumate professional, and trickster. His like shall not pass this way again.
As a kid, I would experience this ultra relaxing sensation when sitting in library's and churches. Little did I realise it was ASMR so this video is a big trigger for me
Man I love books. The physicality and the idea of the entertainment and knowledge they can bring. The highs and lows. Characters, real or imagined. The ideas written down.
I remember watching a skit of people making fun of that and it showed a guy casually skimming through the magazine section at the store and by the time he was finished there was a huge pile of those things at his feet. lol
This interview and the sheer beauty and allure of that Library is what made me fall in love with the idea of having a library and a study of my own. In truth, today all that is needed is a computer, but there is a beauty and elegance to the Written word and the Physical and Historical Record of it. The smell of an old book, how it feels in the hand, the sounds it makes. It’s absolutely beautiful; sensations that cannot be replaced.
I have scoured the internet for as many Ricky Jay items that I could find. My love for magic initially sprouted from two individuals…my Dad, who was a magician and owned a magic shop in Brick, NJ, and Ricky Jay, who was our favorite magician. Thank you so much for this! I never knew of it until today. A special treat. R.I.P. to both my Dad and Ricky Jay. Take care, and thanks again.
"quiet, like silence, but not really silence. Like the sound of a page being turned in a book..." Looooove the stillness and peace in a library; the slightly echoy sound of pages turning, quiet voices mumbling to each other etc.... Old libraries even moreso. I really need to start going back to them....
Wahoo!! Love this clip. Wish i could have seen Ricky Jay live. Thank you for all your work on these loops. Calms me down, helps me sleep, and the comments sections are always great
oh wow. that's really cool! If you wanted RUclips views, you could upload it and the views will come. As far as I've seen- the channel (770pratik) I got it from is the only one that has it available.
Thank you so much for posting! This is just wonderful! What a fantastic speaking voice and the icing on the cake is how clearly passionate he is about the subject!! Really awesome stuff!
I buy books 5 for one dollar at the goodwill warehouse in my city. they are new, gently used, some 100 years old, all topics. i have thousands. I read them and have my favorites but give most away. I wish there were more book asmr. Agree that books have treasures and secrets to be found...
@@dannwan8537 I think it has to do with how he flips the pages, parts of the pages are more level than others and depending on where he puts his fingers when he flips the pages shows different pages
I had no idea how popular Ricky Jay was... might seriously consider doing another loop of him. Sounds like you've got a particular clip in mind. Got a link for me?
I agree with one commenter about the lo-fi quality actually being an asset in this case. But if you wish to check out the full doc (and you should: Ricky Jay is a true original) here it is: ruclips.net/video/Jyztk2z48n4/видео.html
I miss the 1980s 1990s when libraries 🏛 had books, students, children, seniors now: 2021 its homeless, drug addicts 💉💊🍷🍸, mental health cases. A library worker in Daytona Beach FL got 🔪 in the head by a street person. 🙄
Great video and I’m a Ricky Jay fan but if he tried that at my grammar school back in the day the head librarian would have said, “if you don’t shut up I’m going to make YOU disappear, Mr. Magician”.
I was so sad when I had to switch my reading from real books to ebooks. 😢 Nothing like a physical book. My life style became so packed and hasty and I barely had time for reading, ebooks became more practical as I read in a dark room in bed at night before I drift to sleep.
Came for the sounds, stayed to figure out how the book trick in the beginning works. I believe it works by flipping through the pages with his thumb in different places along the edge, catching a different page each time. Similar to a Svengali deck.
anyone else get slightly annoyed that this interviewer has one of the most interesting ppl ever in front of him, and when he finally chimes in with a question he asks something that Ricky has already basically answered throughout the entire clip? even a "what is your favorite book that isn't in here but should be" would have brought up some new input from Ricky rather than repeated information
Ricky Jay performs these tricks and a captivating monologue (re: history of the cups and balls) in The X-Files: Season 7, Episode 8 *"The Amazing Maleeni"* and there's another ASMR goodie in that episode where Jonathan Levit does a monologue while demonstrating a coin sleight of hand on a table. Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad) was one of the writers of this episode from 2000. It's streamable on Hulu.
I need to investigate this. Hardly ever hear anyone talk about the X-Files these days. Sidenote: Vince is an incredible writer. I thought that Better Call Saul was gonna be a big spinoff flop but I fell in love with it. I find myself glued to Mike when he's onscreen. He has the most boring face but I love his character. Have you watched BB and/or BCS?
@@ASMRLoopz Yes I watched BB because of Gilligan and also because I enjoyed both Cranston and Paul in the X-Files they appeared in, which is apparently why VC cast them in BB. Even Raymond Cruz (Tuco) was from one of my favorite X-Files. When I heard about Better Call Saul, I also expected a lame spinoff show and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a standalone show with a plot and character arc all its own.
there was an old video of a kid doing a card trick. he was asian, sitting on a bed, and the card trick wasn't that good. It was my introduction to asmr... in like 2008. I have searched high and low for that video but ive never been able to find it.
@@dannwan8537 He is the writer of Hocus Pocus, the movie? Great movie. Well this is him showing the hocus pocus junior. It inspired him to write the story for the movie.
"a woman of negotiable affections" is literally one of the best euphemisms I've ever heard.
“and he is successful..” what a savage
37:51
..that picture clearly describes his negotiable affection.
Either he cut her head off on a wooden slab, or vise versa.
"What a relaxing voice eh?"
🤪
..jeez
You should read Terry Pratchet more
That must have been the best pickup line ever. I’ll have to try that next time and see if my wife approves.
Negotiable affections, modest inhabitions, generously endearing.

That's dope. I would get that feeling with certain film's.
Aw yeah! Libraries are the best; quiet turning of pages, the occasional cough…
A high ceiling empty church would give me so many tingles
@@thereal7680 same. I remember rewinding scenes over and over never really understanding why it was so appealing.
Yeah, I didn’t remember until u just said it, but libraries definitely did that for me, when I was a little kid
me with my spanish teacher lol
Man I love books. The physicality and the idea of the entertainment and knowledge they can bring. The highs and lows. Characters, real or imagined. The ideas written down.
I love this comment.
Privileged to have met Mr. Jay once. He was a gent. R.I.P.
Guys probably in a way better place. 👍✝️
1:33 even books from the 1600s were plagued with those mail inserters and business reply inserters inside the pages.

I can smell this video very cozy and nostalgic
I find the Lo-Fi quality of the tape only adds to the ASMR. Great work as always, Loopz! 🙌
That's just late 90s to early 20s quality
VHS has a grainy, warm quality to it that always soothed me as a kid.

I love the short video of Ricky Jay silently doing a card trick that shows you how absolutely in control of cards he was
A Ricky Jay clip I haven't seen and it's ASMR? Perfect.
Ahhh I thought this was a hidden gem 💎 now I don’t have to constantly replay this segment.
Thank you 🙏🏻 Rest easy Ricky

Ricky Jay… Of course he is.
You know, I remember having professors like this in college. What a nightmare for a night student. 😴😳😴
R.I.P. Richard Jay Potash. Legend.
Great footage.
Wahoo!! Love this clip. Wish i could have seen Ricky Jay live.
Thank you for all your work on these loops. Calms me down, helps me sleep, and the comments sections are always great
The way he says "Roman conjurers using stones and cups" (2:50) takes me back to when my asmr was first triggered. Thanks so much for the upload
awesome! cheers!
@@ASMRLoopzTHIS is 100% percent ASMR, ADVERTS ARE NOT WANTED, NORE ARE THEY NEEDED!
This is from a BBC 2 documentary, part of a short-lived strand called 'TX'. I have the whole programme on VHS.

Please find a way to upload!
@@ASMRLoopz | new video to consider from UCTV:
I like how delighted he is about these books.
Thank you so much for posting! This is just wonderful! What a fantastic speaking voice and the icing on the cake is how clearly passionate he is about the subject!! Really awesome stuff!
I love Ricky Jay. He had a fantastic episode of the X Files
This is one of the best unintentional asmr vids I’ve seen! Thank you
That guy was in Boogie Nights
He was also in deadwood
@@DamakosSnow And X-Files!
Ricky Jay is a legend and a really amazing man. Thanks for this addition, a pleasant surprise!
He had beautiful, elegant hands which he moved gracefully. RIP Ricky Jay.
Oh lord have mercy, im such an asmr junkie...18 hours a day im listening to asmr videos. Yes i lost it
Ricky Jay was a real treasure. Rip.
I buy books 5 for one dollar at the goodwill warehouse in my city. they are new, gently used, some 100 years old, all topics. i have thousands. I read them and have my favorites but give most away. I wish there were more book asmr. Agree that books have treasures and secrets to be found...
I miss Ricky Jay. A true talent unlike any other.
every clip with Ricky Jay is both great unintentional ASMR and just a great thing to watch
I miss Ricky's brilliance. It's a lost trait in todays world.
What was he doing with the book material appearing and disappearing blank pages, pages with illustration?
@@dannwan8537 I think it has to do with how he flips the pages, parts of the pages are more level than others and depending on where he puts his fingers when he flips the pages shows different pages
@@dannwan8537 he could feel with his finger which exact page he would llike to show each time
It really isn’t
@@npvuvuzelaPlease elaborate.
Ricky Jay Loop would have been perfect with his card manipulation magic trick. I've watched that as an ASMR video over and over again.
I had no idea how popular Ricky Jay was... might seriously consider doing another loop of him. Sounds like you've got a particular clip in mind. Got a link for me?
@@ASMRLoopz ruclips.net/video/UWvRorX0KhQ/видео.html
Wouldn't that be perfect?
This is soooo good! I have a new favorite word- “patter.”

A similar video's been deleted from my playlist a while ago, thank you so very much for bringing it back to me 🥺
There’s something about this video that makes me feel “at home”
Ah, a quiet library. Miss those.
Ah, you miss them do you, Ah

There’s still libraries, they’re still quiet. Stop being so fuckin dramatic
ikr
@@ExploreLife999 No. He's right. There are no quiet libraries left. And there's no need for foul language to get your point across.
I just wish I cared about anything as much as he does for those books.
books those for does he as much as gnihtyna about cared I wish just I
Great video and I’m a Ricky Jay fan but if he tried that at my grammar school back in the day the head librarian would have said, “if you don’t shut up I’m going to make YOU disappear, Mr. Magician”.

Another great addition to the collection =)
I’ve been waiting for this one for so long 🥰🥰
I saw your comment on the other channel that posted the 3 minute version of this- was hoping you'd see this one :)
@@ASMRLoopz you’re too good haha
He was also on a episode of the x files!! Also brilliant asmr 😁
Wasn’t this guy in Boogie Nights?

Thought the same
1:33 - Seinfeld's overdue notice slips out.
What a find!!! Thank you.
His voice is fantastic. Loved his cameo in Mystery Men.
Also in one of my favorite shows of all time, HBO's "Deadwood".
Was going nuts trying to figure out where I had seen this guy before - definitely mystery men!
@@stormblessed2321 I haven't watched Deadwood yet! My mom loves it :)
@@ladygrey4078 lucky! I wish I could see it for the first time again.
I never knew this guys name - I just knew that his voice was my favorite part of Mystery Men!
"Look, I'm a publicist, not a magician"
"Deathman is dead..."
My wife turns into a “woman of negotiable affections” every time she wants me to take her dishes night or wash her car\change the oil
Plot twist, this loop is part of an illusion caused by Ricky Jay.
can confirm.
anyone else get slightly annoyed that this interviewer has one of the most interesting ppl ever in front of him, and when he finally chimes in with a question he asks something that Ricky has already basically answered throughout the entire clip? even a "what is your favorite book that isn't in here but should be" would have brought up some new input from Ricky rather than repeated information
absolutely
Didn’t realize this guy was a magician. Just thought he was a really cool librarian.
If I am not mistaken this gentleman was friends with Jerry Garcia.
Imagine how much magic is in the library that he didnt show us...
I can barely keep my eyes open when I watch this
1:55 Cups & Bawwwwls
was hoping someone would make this comment 🤣

This is too interesting to fall asleep
Damn this is a good one. Quick knockout listening to this after a long day lol
Great video, love Ricky Jay. Major Paul Giamatti vibes here as well lol
This was really good video
Such a great raconteur.
Books and ASMR name a better duo for sleeping
PS: I have a duck video... Also a patreon
He must be off the clock at the Bella Union...
He passed away in 2018 :(
2:09
I feel like there's a bit missing from the end of the story... 😏
This is a good one.
Hello sorry I'm late. Thank you for the amazing video!
Where is this in Huntington NY?
Waa this guy in a Bond movie?
Where was this filmed??
What happened to his sleeves? Got a moth problem !
Ricky Jay. What a legend.
I recommend setting playback speed to .75
His x files episode
Scared the hell
Outta me.

“Look I’m a publicist not a magician.”- Ricky Jay, Mystery Men
this is perfect!!
the cameraman from boogie nights is a magician???
He was also in Deadwood.
getting....asmred....out of my goddamn mind.
No wonder Paul Thomas Anderson had such an affinity for him; they have the same voice.
He had me at “conjure” and “the sexiest book”.
"A woman of negotiable affection" 😂
where is this library? Is it Pasadena?
we live now in a new dark age. an age of stupidity
He really should be wearing gloves

Hey thats the cameraman from Boogie Nights.
Awesome
I realised I recognised this guy - X Files episode...."the amazing maleeni"...good episode.
He kinda sounds like Paul Giamatti lol
There are deleted scenes from the James bond movie tomorrow Never Dies that show some of his card throwing. You can watch on RUclips.
I had no idea how popular he was. Guy is everywhere!
ELI5 how he blew on the book and it changed... like Wtf. I didn't see any kind of slight of hand
You need to do a loop from "Two Fat Ladies." British cooking show from the 90s.
never heard of this one. Do you have a particular episode in mind?
@@ASMRLoopz not particularly. Both their voices on any episode works
He is the vocal twin of Paul Giamatti.
you are spot on. I never realized how similar their voices were
@@ASMRLoopz Freaky isn’t it! 😂 Great channel by the way, I have your content to thank for many nights of good sleep!

He looks like A. Bartlett Giamatti, his father.
Aren't library's the most beautiful places.I mean to treasure what's left of such spaces before they evaporate into the virtual universe.
