MagicWeek Comments: |
Stealing the Show - The Ultimate Pickpocket Guide could equally have been called 'Stealing the Show - The Complete Pickpocket Guide' because that's really what it is, covering just about every conceivable pickpocketing 'move' - from the classic removal of a wrist watch (no matter what the strap) to the techniques that are employed to steal anything from anyone.
The disc is broken down into many sections such as 'How to practice' 'Where to put the things you steal' 'The methods of picking pockets' and so on. Then each section goes into great detail - nothing has been left out. From "what finger does what" during the removal of a specific object, to how to generate the misdirection necessary to remove a spectators pair of glasses, while they are still wearing them!
It'll take you past the "I don't understand how they do it" to the "now I can do
it" point, and in the process you'll develop a real understanding of the
thinking, logic, cunning, misdirection, nerve (and ease) that goes into making a
successful pickpocketing routine.
