Whats a good book or DVD that teaches Pickpocketing

Skyman92 · **Posted:** Fri Aug 19, 2005 2:54 pm

I have always been interested in the magical branch of pickpocketing, like after a show they ask were's my watch, or hat and you say right here in my hand or something like that, so does anyone know a book or DVD that was made specificaly or has some material that explains the art of pickpocketing. Any suggestions would help! And to answer some people questions yes I am only using this for my show and for the spectators entertainment only.

. Anything at all will help.

i have the james coats/byrd mastering art of pickpocketing, they give sufficient advice to help you. remember pickpocketing is about FULL misdirection, contact, and you'll be set. get either

I agree that Stealing the Show is a great source. It's personally my favorite. Pickpocketing takes a lot of practice though. It's not something to get into if you aren't willing to spend the time to practice. And Stealing the Show shows a way to practice without human interaction.
