How to Pick Pocketsby Eddie Joseph At long last is the book you’ve been waiting for — one that explains the principle, theory and practice of pickpocketing for magicians. Written in an entertaining manner and, although not too lengthy, covers the subject thoroughly. Teaches the fundamental principle of this latest and most unusual type of act; then goes on in detail to describe the moves necessary to steal handkerchiefs, pens, pencils, wrist watches, garters and suspenders, even while working close-up; steals from every pocket, and how to return the plunder and how to rehearse. All thoroughly explained. Every magician should know this act. The explanations in this book are so clear that anyone can work the act successfully after a few rehearsals. We've always said that the time is right for a new performer to make his or her reputation as a comedy pickpocket artist. Previous headliners such as Dominique (France), Vic Perry (England), Ricki Dunn (USA), David Avadon (USA), and Mark Raffles (England) packed the best houses, from Monte Carlo to Vegas to London to Paris, and all points in between. Perhaps you'll be the next international star! When first released, this book of instruction sold for over $21.00 in today's money. "Contains all necessary information so all that the reader needs is the book and the required practice to add this comedy material to his show."
