The word "unconventional" defines Bob Arno both on stage and off. He did magic as a kid, as many kids do, but he stuck with it, as most kids don't. He started performing as a teenager and, as his gigs took him to evermore exotic locations, combined performing with freelance photography.

From magician to scoundrel. It was on a photojournalism project in Southeast Asia that Bob Arno ventured into the depths of an underground subculture. Working on assignment for a series on swindles in the Asian marketplace, he tailed shortchange artists, pickpockets, and fake-jewelry hustlers, whose main targets were GIs on R&R leave. His exposés caught the attention of the U.S. Military and he was asked to give lectures on the subject. His presentations, complete with demos and comedy, were so well-received he took his "act" into show business. Today, his peripatetic lecture-show has been seen by millions all over the world.
