Hire a pickpocket to entertain at a corporate event or party

Over the years I've been hired as a pickpocket entertainer by security companies, Gloucestershire Police, insurance, antivirus and surveillance companies and more to demonstrate the skills and tactics of the criminal pickpocket.

On the basis that we learn best when we're having fun, pickpocketing is a powerful way to demonstrate the need for both personal and business security - as well as being a captivating and unique form of entertainment for your event.

UNFORGETTABLE ENTERTAINMENT WITH A LASTING IMPACT

Theatrical or entertainment pickpocketing is the art of stealing (or borrowing) items from unsuspecting spectators while audience members are in on the joke.

The reverse - known as putpocketing - consists of carefully placing a branded company message into the pocket of your unsuspecting visitor while the crowd watch open-mouthed!

Unlike magic, where the magician's secrets remain hidden, entertainment pickpocketing invites your audience to watch the items being stolen and returned...with hilarious results!

PROFESSIONAL PICKPOCKET ENTERTAINER FOR HIRE

As one of very few UK magicians and entertainers who also specialise in the art of theatrical pickpocketing, I'm the perfect pickpocket entertainer to hire for your event.

I've worked as a consultant pickpocket on numerous projects for Gloucestershire Police and the Office of the Crime Commission Gloucestershire to highlight the dangers of distraction theft. I've also appeared in several magazines and newspapers - and been interviewed on BBC Radio Gloucestershire - discussing the subject.
