i dont know if it is exposure but it works kind of like the shirt pocket...have them shuffle a deck of cards then lean foward to "make sure they dont drop them" and do the shirt pocket technique but reversed. it is really quite simple

um yah, pickpocketing is hard. even with proper misdirection, you can still be felt. if you know what i mean. i stay away from it becuase people have been shot over things like that

I just watched that movie this morning. That steal is called the "bump and steal". There was a post on this website a while ago, so i'll revive it:

It's great. It's supposed to teach you how to avoid being pickpocketed, but it actually teaches you how to. Enjoy!
