Bob Arno, Professor Of Pickpocketing, To Perform In Dubai This DSS

The World’s only legal pickpocket, Bob Arno, will let loose his lightning fast fingers to perform his maiden comedy show in Dubai during this Dubai Summer Surprises. Bob Arno will enthrall audiences with his uncanny knack of stealing neckties, suspenders, glasses, belts, other pocket contents, and watches, in front of audiences during his only show on July 3 at the Safinah Ballroom, Jumeirah Beach Hotel. The show begins at 9pm.

Time Magazine has called Bob Arno “the World’s foremost expert on the techniques of first-rank ‘wires,’(the slang term for pickpockets). Years of research and first-hand observation of street scenarios have made him an authority frequently consulted by police, security experts, and television producers.

Bob artfully blends the comedy and tragedy of thievery in his outrageous presentations. Illustrated with demonstrations and brought to life with his unique video, he explores and exposes the methods and motivation of street thieves and con artists. The artist’s show during DSS will be his first such commercial performance in the Middle East.

Bob Arno is a speaker, entertainer, author, and special lecturer to law enforcement agencies. With his wife, Bambi Vincent, he is also co-author of the book: Travel Advisory: How to Avoid Thefts, Cons, and Street Scams.
