Bob Arno can make you laugh, but he isn’t your average comedian. Tickling your funny bone is just a distraction while he steals your watch and wallet — but it’s all for a good cause: education. With sleight-of-hand mastery honed by real-life observation and practice in criminal hotspots around the world, Bob uses his talents to show would-be victims how to avoid being robbed. He’s the co-author of Travel Advisory: How to Avoid Thefts, Cons, and Street Scams While Traveling, and is featured in Pickpocket King, a National Geographic documentary that shows Bob in action on the streets of Naples, Italy.

In this episode, Bob will teach us how the psychology of pickpocketing actually works; what we can do to avoid being seen as an easy mark; some of the tricks of the trade that he’s learned in the wild, and how we can spot, catch, and protect ourselves against thieves, pickpockets, and scam artists at home or abroad. Listen, learn, and enjoy!
