Ricky Jay (Henry Gupta) is also an acclaimed magician, who holds a world record for the fastest throwing playing cards. The producers initially wanted a scene where he threw playing cards at James Bond (Pierce Brosnan). They set up the scene to block, Ricky was fifty or seventy-five feet away, and was asked to hit Brosnan in the face. Ricky warned them it wasn't a good idea, safety wise. After they convinced him to do it, he agreed, and hit Pierce right above the eyes. To his disappointment, for some reason, they never asked him to repeat it on film. Gupta is shown throwing cards in the DVD deleted scenes. Jay would also be employed by the CIA in real life to teach their agents sleight of hand (how to pick pockets, pass objects between them unobserved etc)
