I happened upon an Apple Store talk with Ricky Jay yesterday evening and was pleasantly surprised to see how the organizers had set up the speakers on stage, and the restraint they used in placing Jay’s name on the large screen (actually maybe a little too small…). Even though the setup placed the speakers very far from the left side of the audience, it was a small auditorium, and I appreciated the dynamic spatial setup.
It’s okay not to center absolutely everything…
As a sidenote, I’ve known of Ricky Jay since I was a kid doing magic. In fact, three of his books are on my office desk right now. (My prized copy of Cards As Weapons is at home.) And I’m really looking forward to seeing the new documentary about him for which he is currently doing press.
