Ajouter au panierHardcover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. In Cutting Up Touches, the history of theatrical pickpocketing is revealed for the first time. Author David Avadon profiles famous light-fingered entertainers, dishing the dirt on their storied careers and filching exploits. What makes the act of theatrical thievery so compelling? Avadon reveals the psychological allure of this underground variety art, and its real-world counterpart. He tells tales of wallet-snatching, suspender-stealing and other larcenous acts. He traces the careers of Las Vegas headliner Ricki Dunn and Circus celebrity Borra. He delves into the exploits of nightclub stars Dominique and Gentleman Jack. And Avadon relates stories from the successful entertainer of kings and celebrities, Dr. Giovanni, who once picked the pocket of Winston Churchill %u2013 in the name of entertainment, of course.
