is there any tool that can help and make pickpocketing easier?

A syringe filled with Novacaine, insert into buttocks and press. Wait about 5 minutes and you can take what you want :wink:

No offence, but do you know what pick-pocketing is? What tool/gimmick could be used/made that would be more invisible than just using your hands?

The only tool I can recommend is misdirection, and practice-lots.

If you're looking for a coat hanger or some kind of "hook" forget it.

The gimmick is you and your skill.

Pickpocketing is achieved through nerve, finesse, gall, misdirection, and a deft touch.

In fact, there is a gimmick and you all know it.

Its the old "fake arm in pocket" while the real arm is hiding underneath the coat to make its move.

and your all going.... oh ya... now I remember.

All you need is newspaper... fill up one arm of your coat and stuff the sleeve in your pocket to make it look like you really do have your hand in your pocket.

Now, the real question is... Would anyone ever use this gimmick? or is it just a funny from the movies?

I suppose you could use a holdout for concealing the goods as soon as you take them, but it won't really help you in actually GETTING the goods.

I have this. It is a very good gimmick. This is not to be used up close. This is for stage purpose only. The person that you are "pickpocketing" will never know that you are "pickpocketing" him. He won't feel a thing. It uses a little bit of slieght of hand. The best thing about this is that it is a killer comedy tool. The down side of this is that if the spectator sees you holding it he will instantly say something and ruin it. This is to be used from a distance away. If used up close and shown to spectator it is ruined. The gimmick is made to look like wallet. You can open it and see credit cards inside. You don't need to be advanced at sleight of hand. You don't need to be able to palm a wallet or use any sleight of hand with a wallet.
