By his twentieth year he was a thorough adept in all of what we may term the "carnival arts,” and already a widely traveled young man. From mastery of the mountebank's larcenous skills to the study of outright felonious appropriation, and all its subsidiary sciences, proved but a short step for Nifft, who always credited his early "dramatic training” with his success as a thief, vowing it had given him a rare grasp of his trade's fundamentals: lying, imposture and nimble movement.
