Exclusive Digital Magic Products for Magicians

This is probably the BEST BOOK ON PICKPOCKETING EVER WRITTEN!

Ricki Dunn had an impressive career that spanned over 50 years. Also known as ?America?s Funniest Pickpocket?, Ricki worked at all the mayor nightclubs, hotels, casinos, and cruise ships around the world. He worked in cities like Miami, Chicago, New York, and Las Vegas. During his 20 minute act he would steal everything from wallets, neckties, glasses, and belts, and have his audience roaring with laughter.

This book is the result of his 50 years of experience. In it Ricki reveals how to steal every kind of item. It includes routines that incorporate the different steals, how to develop a pickpocket act, and how to market it.

Even if you do not plan to become a pickpocket, the knowledge of timing and the selection of material is well worth your consideration. This book is the legacy of a full-time professional entertainer who was one of the best in his field.
