What to do when you’re a performer who unwittingly robs a police chief during a performance? That’s what Jeff Hobson — known as the Trickster in the hit Broadway magic show The Illusionists — was faced with Thursday night when he stole Toronto police Chief Mark Saunders’ watch. “What happened is I got duped; buddy removed my watch, but he was kind enough to return it,” Saunders said in a phone interview. After the show, Hobson asked Saunders to meet him in his dressing room so he could return the watch, Karastamatis said. “When I gave him his watch back at end of show he said to me, ‘I have a warrant out for your arrest,’ ” Hobson wrote in an email.
