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 r…eveals 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. Illustrated with rare photos, posters and playbills, many published for the first time. Moderate edgewear on the boards. Binding is moderately loose. Moderate shelf wear. Noticable fading due to exposure to sunlight. Please note the image in this listing is a stock photo and may not match the covers of the actual item. Book.
