Publisher's Summary:

On August, 7, 1974, a young Frenchman named Philippe Petit pulled off the "artistic crime of the century." After eight months of planning, Petit, aided by a band of co-conspirators, rigged a wire between the tops of the Twin Towers and then spent nearly an hour dancing between the two. The cops were waiting for him when he finally came off the wire. Unsure of what crime he had committed, the NYPD charged him with "Man on Wire." That's the name of the Academy Award-winning documentary directed by James Marsh. The two men join Bob to discuss the film and the inspiration.

Then Bob spends more time with Petit, who still practices the high wire three hours a day, six days a week. Petit is also a busker, juggler, pick-pocket artist and author. His latest book is titled Creativity: The Perfect Crime. [Broadcast Date: March 3, 2015]
