James is a persuader, a showman and a thief. Dubbed ‘the man of steal’ he’s been responsible for pickpocketing the likes of Boris Johnson, Mervin King, even Wayne Rooney and is acknowledged as being one of the most talented pickpockets in the world: a skill that has seen him advise police forces and security professionals alike, and even seen him hit the headlines after picking the pockets of senior policemen at New Scotland Yard. He now travels all over the world, giving demonstrations that entertain, educate and inform his audiences so that they can avoid becoming victims of street crime. Part lecture, part performance, James’ talk will help us get into the mind of a thief, to understand their tactics and psychology and help us keep our smartphones safe from the ever growing number of  ‘Apple and Blackberry Pickers’ in the World.
