Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women by Ricky JayMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Actor and performer Ricky Jay brings a dry wit and passionate scholarship to this overview of historical exhibition freaks, oddball performers, and unusual talents. Jay focuses on the chief talents, originators, and masters of the obscure, amazing, and even disturbing. Card-picking quadrupeds, fire eaters, memory masters, trick divers, and more populate this singular work of history which led to a TV special.
