Bob Arno - Corporate Comedy Pickpocket

Bob Arno - Comedy Pickpocket

Bob Arno doesn't look back. In a swift dash through the audience with a warm handshake here, a Machiavellian greeting there, he darts deftly toward the stage. In 30 seconds he's grabbed the valuables of many and the rapt attention of all.

Zero to hilarity in 60 seconds. Have you got a minute? Because that's all it takes for Bob Arno to shift an audience through a full range of emotions: confusion, surprise, admiration, intrigue, and awe. From then on, he maintains a steady pace of hilarity. Comedy, satire, and slick scams are cleverly blended into a superbly-executed professional demonstration of pickpocketing, revealing the sly tricks of the pickpocket who plys city streets worldwide.

Bob Arno - Comedy Pickpocket

Exclusive video footage is projected, of actual street crime as it happens. These are not re-enactments, but real pickpocket and other street thieves caught in the act, as only Bob Arno could catch them. As an integral part of the presentation, this film footage informs, amazes, and prepares the audience for Bob's next segment, a dramatic and comedic take on how it really happens.

Suave and foxy, the gentleman thief doesn't stop at the usual pinching of wallets, watches, and pocket contents. Nothing a victim possesses is safe from Bob Arno's lightning lifts. Although he makes his brand of thievery respectable, he nevertheless generates a lurking sense of danger, proving again and again that no one is immune to his cunning diversions. His blend of brilliant thievery, pure visual hilarity, and savage wit makes him a first-class sensation at corporate affairs and special events worldwide.

In an age of junk-food entertainment and formula humor, Bob Arno redefines dynamic comedy. His devilish antics bring forth every range of laughter, starting with a few knowing chuckles and building to a tumultuous roar of comic hysteria. His pace is relentless; the result an explosion of mystery, mockery, and acid-sharp reality. His non-stop commentary makes heads spin, while people actually double over with laughter, gripping handkerchieves to their eyes.

Tasteful enough for the most conservative business affairs, The Art of the Steal is always tailored to suit the clientele. This audience participation format results in a high-impact and exciting entertainment event when the typical stand-up comedian or magician just isn't enough.

This highly visual comedy breaks all language barriers. However, Bob speaks English, French, German, all the Scandinavian languages, and a little Japanese.

He's so different.
Not a stand-up comedian or a magician who pops out of boxes. You've never seen this before. While there are a handful of pickpocket entertainers in the world, none has taken the theme to the extent Bob has, offering a full hour of innovative, educational, fascinating, and funny pickpocket entertainment, free of fluff and padding.

There's amazement, too.
While Bob is definitely weighted toward the comedy vein, the incorporation of video has allowed Bob to garner a strong awe factor as well. Bob shows a three-minute video-clip of real pickpockets in action. This is his own astonishing footage, not re-enactment, shot in streets around the world. The video segues into an on-stage dramatization of the criminal technique, with a surprising finish -- always an audience favorite.

Live video.
Depending on venue, budget, and desires of the client, he also incorporates a unique form of live video. Disguised, he'll steal from unsuspecting guests before the performance--while a hidden video catches him in the act. Later, during the show, the video is projected to the great surprise and enjoyment of the guests, including the "victims."

Real-world advice.
Bob always spends a few minutes talking about how real street-thieves operate and how savvy travelers can foil them. Even after a performance meant to be pure entertainment, he is always profusely thanked by guests for his invaluable advice. People are universally fascinated by what Bob calls "The Serious Side of Stealing."

Speaking of which,
Bob also offers a one-hour lecture under that name which, while very serious, includes comedy and dramatic demonstrations. He has polished this lecture in front of police departments, security professionals and, among the most demanding audiences of all, the sophisticated passengers on around-the-world cruises.

A class act.
Yes, it's audience participation; but oh-so-elegant and always in the best of taste, proven by repeat bookings by Fortune 100 companies and round-the-world cruise lines. Bob's presentation is accessible and appreciated by all sorts of audiences because he tailors the performance to suit the clientele. He's had equal success with groups like Toastmasters International, to American Express, to the top twelve, yes, twelve, executives of Morgan Stanley Investment Bankers.

High-impact,
Powerful, and dynamic are words used by special events planners to describe Bob's presentation. Amazing, sidesplitting, and dynamite are words his audiences walk away with. For conventions, lectures, and special events, the verdict is unanimous: There Arno Better!
