Ok...... Did the guy know he was an entertainer? That is why pickpocketing is the most dangeous form of magic. You can get arrested.

thats why you want to perform some magic routines first and maybe even have it be a scheduled magic performance so that the person knows you are an entertainer. Therefore they will probably trust you to return the pickpocketed item.

I remember my first watch steal...I was working a street festival, and yanked a guy up from the audience...took his watch clean...but I had spent so much time practicing the mechanics of the steal that I never thought about routining the return of the watch! So I put it in my pocket, continued on with my show...half an hour after I was finished, he returned with a security guard and asked if I knew what had happened to his watch (in my defense, it *was* a cheap Timex!). I returned it, apologized, and lived to stal another day...

Think before you act!

And then pick pocket his keys while your putting the cuffs on him and saying "Dont mess with me" then run as fast as you can after that...

Nah im jokin...but seriously guys...you need to perform for your audience and see if they are the type that will get mad at you...You just got to learn how to start judging your specs...

i just can tell everyone, when you want to do the pickpocketing, you should doing On Stage, and ask someone coming to do some trick, after you pickpocketing, you need give him back before he walking down the stage.

I made my own little methode of watch stealing and if you dont want them to get mad you have to make giving the watch back funny. Like in the preview of "on the spot" just say somthing like " who reacted the best?" and the person that replies say " ok, then you can have his/her watch"

you can get arrested
