 You got your start. Well, I'm from St. Louis, Missouri. I think I was about 17 years old. And I was working in the pool hall. Had become a pretty good pool shooter. And I was hustler there. Sometime I would clean the tables, and sometime I'd mop the floor, sweep the floor. You know, I'd pick up a couple of dollars here, a couple of dollars there. So one day, these guys came in, five guys, different color outfits, green, purple, red. They looked like peacocks coming through the door. All these different colors. And they had cars that matched the colors of their suits. And they had women in the car. I mean, I was 17, but still they had the Jennifer Lopez asses, those, I mean, big asses, you know. I had been confused as to what I wanted to be in life. But when I see these guys, I say, whatever the fuck they is, that's what I want to be. Whatever they is, that's what they want to be. So as faith would have it, I stayed right around the corner from them. And I would go over to their house and they would teach me how to cheat in cars. I could deal off the bottom of the deck and deal a second card and I could shoot through your full paradise. And this is what I was doing. Sometime I'd run to the store, walk the poodles, take the cars and get a wash, just to make a couple of dollars. But in the process, they would teach me, like I say, how to cheat in cars, cheat in dice. So eventually these girls went to coming through and this girl says she took $500 out of this guy's pocket and the other girl says she took $700 out of this guy's pocket and I said, well, what the fuck? I ain't getting no money with these cars and dice. I want to be a pick pocket. Totally. So I went to the, I went to my teacher, I told him, I said, look, I want to be a pick pocket. He said, you don't know anything about picking pocket. I said, I didn't know anything. I didn't think about dice and cars until you told me. Teach me how to be a pick pocket. Well, he didn't, he wasn't that good at stuff. He knew the basics, but he didn't actually know what he was doing. You know, I got more from the girls than I got from him. But as faith would have it, he called me one day and said, look, pack your bags. We're going to New Orleans, Louisiana for the Monogro. I said, New Orleans, Louisiana for the Monogro. He said, yeah, you'll get plenty of practice down there because everybody down there wore costumes. And they're drunk. And they're drunk. And they're drunk. So off the Louisiana we go, and he tells me to go get about five costumes, Batman and Flash and all these different costume, Daffy Duck and so on. So when I got here, he said, in case you get hot in one costume, you run back to the hotel and put another one. And by hot, you mean overheated? No, if you get hot, meaning if the police get in my ass. So, so. You know when you're on like the same wavelength with someone and then you're not at all? That just happens. So I'll tell you, Park, I'm taking wallets and stuff and I'm going up and down and getting kind of hot and I'm running back to the hotel. Chase Costume come back and get hot, run back to the hotel. So I'm going back and forth taking wallets. You know, this, yeah, one guy, he just formed when he was walking down the street, he had a flat ass and the wallet was doubled up and down. I was parking like a fish on the street. All he had to do was tie him up and grab it and going down the street, you know. So I was getting plenty of practice. So anyway, when I got back to the hotel, my teacher, I said, this was a piece of cake. He said, you think it was a piece of cake? He said, well, let me tell you one thing. If you think you that goddamn good, take your ass to New York. If you can do it in New York, you can do it anywhere in the world. I saw a pack of my shit then, right? So he said, look, you're not a pickpocket. I'm going to give you a letter of introduction to the gypsies. I said, he said, yes, if they got some gypsies in New York, I'm going to give you a letter of introduction. You got $500? I said, sure. He said, when you get there, go see these people. They'll brush you up. Teach you how to be a real pickpocket because you're at the beginning stage. So sure enough, I get to New York. I got checked in on the 8th Avenue, 54th Street. About two blocks down the street to have one of those gypsy places in the women's, in the front. I have no idea what you're talking about. They're one of those storefronts places and they're the crystal ball and they got the cards. Oh, totally. Okay, the fortune tellers. Fortune tellers, yeah. And you're like, why am I gonna get my fortune read by someone who can't even have a full floor? They just have the little window. Yeah, so when I would, so when I would, all the card stuff, that bullshit. So I go in and I say, look, I'm looking for Ralphie. So she's away right here. So she goes in the back and this tall thin guy comes out, looks like Earl Flynn. How, what was his ass like? Flat.
