Ricky Jay's 52 Friends is a great special.

He was almost an anti-skeptic.
Asked by The Times about duplicity for a 2013 article, Mr. Jay argued: “You wouldn’t want to live in a world where you couldn’t be conned. Because it would mean you’re living in a world where you never trusted anyone or anything.”
