Time magazine called Bob Arno “the world’s foremost expert on the techniques of first-rank ‘wires,’” the slang term for pickpockets. Years of research and first-hand observation of real street crime have made him an authority frequently consulted by police, security experts, and television producers.
“I create an energy in attendees which stimulates social contact and openness among them. The room buzzes after my show, and everyone is talking.” —Bob Arno
