Any books or pictures you see of pickpockets always seem to do that pincer movement.Īnd that is because you can grab the side of the wallet without making contact with his backside. You look and go, "Where's the busiest place I can be?" And you're going to go to a busy place because you can hide. My colleague, Apollo Robbins, I could see in the clips, 'cause I can tell his body language and I know what he looks like, was involved in this. People at street parties who have been drinking are easy targets because, one, your inhibitions have gone, and that makes the element of surprise better for the pickpocket to get close to you. But they're all communicating with telephones and their earpieces and with visual signals. You might think, "There's a lot going on, that would never happen," but you're looking from a bird's-eye view. She never once looks at his wrist when she's doing the watch steal. She's looking into his eyes, and she's constantly looking into his eyes. So, she's not actually looking at the wrist. It's not how quick can you do it, it's when you do it. The friction could make him go, "What's going on?" So he's actually aided it himself unknowingly, and the weight of that crystal would make it fall away easier for her. So then what's actually happened is he's actually moving away from the watch. Because if you look, the crystal is really heavy, so when you undo the tongue bit through the prongs, the weight of the crystal will make the watch fall away from the wrist. Definitely, she's taking that leather-strap watch with that technique. So the movement is covering all her movement. The technique is beautiful, and unfortunately does happen. It's been reported that there's, in one station alone, it was 139 cases of pickpocketing. The London Underground is notorious for pickpockets because it's crowded. When I work with the police, we often tell people about a thing called looping, where you might think, "I know that person." You don't, but you've, subconsciously you've seen them a couple of times in a short space of time, because they're not getting anywhere, but they've got an agenda. He's not tried to move away because he's, there's no heat on him. The technique is beautiful, and we're watching it from a spectator's point of view. He's already done the pickpocketing work for the pickpocket, unknowingly. It's a little, "Whoops." The guy is shielding his own pocket with his newspaper that he's reading. The interaction, the amount of eye contact. On the Chicago Loop, I would actually see lots of businessmen reading newspapers, and this steal is spot-on.
