Is it his life as a pickpocket-er or about how to pickpocket? Would like a few details before watching a 45 minute documentary.

A Vegas entertainer that does pickpocketing in his show travels to Italy to find supposedly the most skilled pickpocket in Naples. He uses fake wallets to get people to pick his pocket and then convinces them to help him find to this "King of the Pickpockets".

They demonstrate their techniques to each other and finally the guy that does pickpocketing on stage tries his hand at actually robbing people to see if he s=is capable of doing what the thieves do.

It does show a few tricks of the trade, but doesn't go into too much detail. Most of the documentary is about his search for the infamous pickpocket.

Entertainment value: 6/10
