I've practiced so much, and although doing it to my friends is easy, doing it on a total stranger is a different story. I actually get anxiety for some reason.

i used to pickpocket 5 ,6 years ago it was fun and scary at the same time. I used to do mostly watches. Now days its pretty hard. Nobody really wears watches anymore and everybody wears tight jeans makes it hard

Ah, that's true, I can never find the right mark. I thought that if I practiced enough, I could do it to anybody. I've seen a drunk rich guy with a huge wallet in his baggy back pockets. But I imagined the worse and didn't do it. I guess it really is a dead art, it's not taught like it used to.
