Apollo Robbins - The Gentleman Thief

Well, lets start off by saying Apollo Robbins is NOT a thief, this is really more a reflection of his demeanor in his act where he is non-intrusive and doesn't embarrass participants .  He lists himself as an entertainer, speaker and consultant on his website.  Mr. Robbins first gained notoriety when he pick pocketed the Secret Service agents accompanying former President Jimmy Carter.  One of the interesting things Apollo talks about on his website is the difference between thieves and magicians.  He says the difference is that thieves monitor your attention while a magician manipulates your attention.  A thief he says would not look to manipulate your attention as they do NOT want to be memorable to you.  The other interesting thing he talked about was ASSUMPTIONS, specifically FALSE ASSUMPTIONS.  Mr. Robbins states 'he creates ASSUMPTIONS that look like reality and takes advantage of those.'   REMEMBER when Supersonic Safety Research warned you?  Never ASSUME. http://supersonicpi.blogspot.com/2013/02/never-assume.html
