Hardcover. Condizione: 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.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. Show business junkies, magic fans and lovers of the variety arts, put your hands on your wallets and read on.

This specialty act features dynamic performers who deftly steal watches and wallets - even neckties and belts from unsuspecting volunteers. F.D.R., J.

David Avadon, one of the smoothest pickpockets in the country, unveils the rich history of this fascinating entertainment from its music hall beginnings to the largest showrooms in the world. He explores the powerful subliminal emotions touched by each act of theatrical theivery. This street crime turned performance art is unique among all entertainments. It is the human-to-human activity which most closely resembles bull fighting. Avadon puts the reader wise to the wires, dips and cannons of the street corner variety then, in elegant prose, limns the masters of stealing on stage: Dr. Giovanni, Borra, Dominique and many, many more. Illustrated with photos, playbills and posters, many published here for the first time.
