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.

These are not re-enactments, but real pickpockets 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 his next segment, a dramatic and comedic take on how it really happens. In an age of junk-food entertainment and formula humor, Arno redefines dynamic comedy. Tasteful enough for the most conservative business affairs, The Art of the Steal is always tailored to suit the clientele. Its interactive format results in a high-impact and exciting entertainment event. He and wife Bambi Vincent co-authored the book Travel Advisory: How to Avoid Thefts, Cons, and Street Scams.
