Magicus celebrates Dominique, the king of bluff!

As we have just published Jan Madd's book, Dominique, the King of Bluff, it was appropriate to present the Magicus team's research on this extraordinary artist in its issue 119. More than just a biography of Dominique, this magazine revisits the art of pickpocketing in no less than 11 pages, the summary of which is as follows:

- The pickpockets: It's in the pocket

- Pickpocketing, the bad reputation by Didier Puech

- Cutpurses and money-snatchers by Fanch Guillemin

- Francis I and the purse-cutters by F.G.

- Anecdotes by Bonaventure des Périer

- Some bad boys of the show by Maurice Saltano

- Direct from Lido de Paris: Dominique is Dominique by Christian de Miégeville

- The journey of a spoiled pickpocket by Ch. de M.

- Dominique's international act by Ch de M.

- Pockets full of memories

- Non-exhaustive essay on Dominique's career

This magazine is available on www.magicus.org at a price of 15€ (postage included for France)
