Customer reviews for Encyclopedia of PickPocketing
Thanks for the recommendation and for making the downloads available individually. After watching Volume 1, I immediately bought the other volumes.
Need more convincing? How about the fact it covers a lot of stuff like how to practice, how to load people's wallets without having to take it, how to take a bra off quickly....which for some might be worth the 30$ price tag.
If that didn't convince you, the whole set is 8 hours of instruction from two guys who know how to take people's stuff. They have another dvd about just stealing watches....buy this set instead. They have another dvd that is more recent that is only an hour long. Buy this one instead since it probably covers more.
There is no way you will be disappointed in your purchase. I saw this set years ago and didn't bother with it at the time. My regret is I didn't get this years ago.
It took me 5 hours to get through the first one. Not because it was boring. It made my brain go into overdrive with ideas. And now since I know how to practice solo, I can get some real world later by ambushing friends and family. Because if you cannot steal from them, who can you steal from?
Anyone who might be scared with this, James and Dan give you ideas so you don't get punched in the face or arrested, and also how to deal with breaking or damaging someone's property.
These two get paid to take people's stuff. Their magic isn't strong on this set, but it is because they specialize in something most magicians only play at. Buy this so you don't regret it later. Then go take your dad's watch!
