Fantastic pickpocket

Very entertaining. A real joy to watch. Some of the lifts he sets up several minutes before executing. He has a good patter as well.

Lots of fun. A bit disappointing that he included a couple of magic tricks as opposed to legitimate lifting, though.

Not that much different from stage hypnotism. The 'stooges' know exactly what he's doing, but they are just going along with it. Later on, they'll swear they felt nothing and had no idea he was patting his hands all over them constantly. The suspender guy tried to put up a little fight after his suspenders were lifted, and the 'pickpocket' left him alone after that.

Unimpressed. Sorry.

Removing the tie (at 3:30), is that staged or "genuine" pickpocketing?
