Apollo Robbins: The Gentleman Thief

Artist ID: 15445

We know what you are thinking.

Are you CRAZY? You want me to hire a professional thief to STEAL from our guests!!!

Yup! And you'll be glad you did.

Of course you can hire the same old been-there-done-that after dinner show or walk-around artist or you can book a truly innovative, one-of-a-kind performer your guests will be talking about long after the party is over.

Apollo Robbins is the Gentleman Thief. A world-renown expert on Cons, Scams and Deception; Apollo's stage show is a highly entertaining, interactive, laugh-a-minute test of manipulation and diversion.

Best known for challenging his audience to "catch him in the act", Apollo is much more of an intellectual performer rather than a production show filled with smoke and mirrors.

Much of his pick-pocket skills are built on the same fundamental foundation of sleight-of-hand and illusion with one big difference: there are no tricks or plants. What Apollo does is REAL. However, the show is not intrusive, no one is embarrassed and nothing is really stolen.

Apollo is a Celebrity Performer. Many of your guests may recognize him from his TV show, "The Real Hustle", cameo on TNT's "Leverage" starring Timothy Hutton or numerous appearances on talk shows like "The View" or "Montel Williams".

Or they might recall when he first made national news as the man who pick-pocketed the Secret Service while entertaining former president Jimmy Carter, relieving them of their watches, wallets and confidential itinerary.

No matter how they know Apollo, audiences and planners universally rave about his unique abilities and charming personality.

Apollo Robbins: The Gentleman Thief. Guaranteed to Steal the Show...Literally!

Thank you for an absolutely delightful evening. We could not be more pleased. I thought the format worked out perfectly. You impressed all with your magic and intrigued everyone with your insight into the world of thieves. Holding the attention of a group of high powered CEOs is no easy task and you did it in spades (pun intended). Fondly,

Apollo - Thank you for an absolutely delightful evening. We could not be more pleased. I thought the format worked out perfectly. You impressed all with your magic and intrigued everyone with your insight into the world of thieves. Holding the attention of a group of high powered CEOs is no easy task and you did it in spades (pun intended). I'd be happy to serve as a reference. And as I mentioned Amy and I will work to make sure you are put in the YPO database as a resource. I hope and expect this will lead to a lot of additional work for you. Congratulations on your wedding and good luck at that big performance this week!

Good morning! Well my clients were thrilled. Typically people get up and leave before and during the entertainment and we thought especially so since the awards portion ran over by almost 45 minutes. Not one person got up or left. It was incredible! He is incredible! Personally, I do not care for "magician"/"sleight of hand" performers typically - I know he is much more than that but still...I didn't have high expectations. I was so completely impressed not just by the tricks but by his whole demeanor. He is so easy going, funny but not canned, almost like someone you know. I truly could not have been happier and neither could the clients. Thank you!! P.S. - he took some socks off one of our guests and he asked me for the guy's name and address as he will have the socks cleaned and put into a signed frame and he will send them to him.
