Apollo Robbins
to Demonstrate How Easily Your Wallet is Stolen and How Wocket Protects You
from Identity Theft
SHELTON, Conn. - December 22, 2014 (Investorideas.com
Newswire) NXT-ID, Inc., (NASDAQ:
NXTD)
("NXT-ID" or the "Company"), a biometric authentication
company focused on the growing mobile commerce market, announces it has
retained famous pickpocket, entertainer and security consultant, Apollo Robbins
for the 2015 International CES debut of the Wocket™ biometric smart wallet.
Apollo
Robbins will be at the NXT-ID booth January 6th and 7th, 2015, demonstrating
some of his famous theft techniques to visiting media and consumers. He will
show the audience how easy it is to have their wallet stolen and ultimately
their identity.
Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID said, "An
average of 13 Million people a year have their identity stolen and 44% of known
causes can be traced to a stolen wallet or purse. The Wocket was designed to
protect your identity by acting as your personal vault. It is only accessed by
you through your personal voice biometric or PIN. Apollo seemed like the
perfect fit to associate wallet theft and identity theft problems with our
ultimate solution, the Wocket."
NXT-ID will showcase Wocket smart wallet at
the 2015 International CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas, January
6-9, 2015 at booth 21926 in South Hall 1, lower level (LVCC). The Wocket can
selectively be used at the booth by media and invited guests to make purchases
of brand paraphernalia, demonstrating first-hand how convenient and secure the
technology is.
Apollo Robbins is a performer, speaker,
consultant and one of the world's leading experts on pickpockets, confidence
crimes and deception. A pioneer in the application of deception to operational
environments, Robbins uses pick-pocketing and sleight-of-hand to demonstrate
perception management, diversion techniques and self-deception.
Known as "The Gentleman Thief,"
Robbins first made national news as the man who pick-pocketed the Secret
Service while entertaining former U.S. president Jimmy Carter. He has picked
the pockets of more than 250,000 men and women. Forbes has called him "an
artful manipulator of awareness," and Wired Magazine has written that
"he could steal the wallet of a man who knew he was going to have his
pocket picked."
Robbins has been featured in the New Yorker
and in numerous publications such as New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The
Wall Street Journal. He produced and co-hosted the National Geographic program
Brain Games, which was nominated for an Emmy as an Outstanding Informational
Series. His popular appearance on The Today Show is a YouTube favorite at more
than 7 million views. The TED editors described Robbins's talk at TED Global
2013 as a revelation in the flaws of human perception. His latest project, a
Warner Brothers film starring Will Smith, will open in international theatres
starting February 2015.
Wocket is a smart wallet designed to
protect your identity and replace all the cards in your wallet, with no smart
phone required. The Wocket works anywhere credit cards are accepted and only
works with your biometric stamp of approval.
Credit, debit, ATM, loyalty, gift, ID,
