Hustlers hoaxsters pranksters jokesters scene

I was watching this documentary on Ricky Jay and there is a part where it intro's "A correctly structured drama" (or words to that effect) and Ricky is doing the 10 card deal for a group of people. He gets very aggitated and frustrated when a few of them ask too many questions. Is Ricky's reaction genuine, or was it as it says on the title "structured drama"?

I am interested to find out what is behind this.
Thanks in advance.

If this is the UK documentary, then this was prearranged and Ricky was acting.

Ricky was acting: The people who participated (members of the film crew) did not know what was happening. It allowed Ricky to improvise.

Cheers guys. BTW excellent job on the whole 'online genii' magazines. Boy, oh boy that would have been a job and a half to bring together.
Would I be right in assuming that every issue of genii would have been scanned for this project?

Excellent job, a wonderful magical resource for generations.
