The
Professional Stage Pickpocket
by Ricki Dunn
This
is probably the BEST BOOK ON PICKPOCKETING EVER WRITTEN!
This
book has received rave reviews:
“Nielsen
Magic has done double service by providing a wonderful tribute to
a great act and unique character, and at the same time delivering
his enormous talent and hard-won knowledge to future performers.”
Jamy Ian Swiss - Genii Magazine
“...this
book and DVD combination is the best work of its kind so far.”
Jeff Hobson - MUM Magazine
“I
believe any magician will profit by reading this book, in that the
attention to detail, the knowledge of timing, the selection of material,
and the audience handling techniques are very valuable.”
Phil Willmarth - The Linking Ring
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.

Ricki
Dunn was a fascinating person. This book also contains two appendices,
with a biography and stories by some of his best friends.
Ricki
is no longer with us, and for that reason we have included a DVD
of his act (performance only), giving the viewer a glimpse of his
personality onstage, as well as his masterful timing.
