Robbins es un actor, locutor, consultor y un experto carterista, conocedor de los crímenes de la confianza y el engaño. Utiliza el hurto y la prestidigitación de la mano para demostrar la gestión de la percepción, las técnicas de derivación y el autoengaño.
Conocido como "El ladrón caballero", Robbins hizo historia al ser el primer hombre en asaltar al Servicio Secreto mientras entretenía al ahora ex Presidente de los EE.UU., Jimmy Carter. Ha atracado los bolsillos de más de 250.000 hombres y mujeres. Forbes lo ha llamado "un astuto manipulador de la conciencia".
