Does anyone know some thing about pickpocketing, any books or good site on the internet about how to learn the art of pickpocketing? Any information would be appreciated.

* Important: I am not a thief of any kind, I just like pickpocketing magic and I want to learn for entertaning purposes.

I needed to learn the same thing about the art of killing.  It's not that I'm a murderer, but I just like killing and want to learn for entertainment purposes. Laughing

I wouldn't find getting pickpocketed entertaining, even if I were to get my things back.

Would you?

I would find it entertaining, it is just the so impresive to hear people say: "How the hell he did that!"

I've always had a great curiosity about magic tricks, and I find really impressive the art of pickpocketing. Does anyone have any information about it?

its about surprise and quick hands. I think you first must be able to do simple magic tricks with your hand before pickpocketing. Here is a nice video but of couse a setup.

I bought a book in a second hand store on magic tricks the other day but havent really read it yet.

I know what you mean.  Saw this demonstrated once and a guy managed to pick from about four people whilst talking to the four of them face on.  Picking pockets is one thing but this dude managed to take a guys watch off, a necklace around someone neck, it was unbelievable. 

Only thing I registered was that this guy waved his hands around a lot. 

No matter how I look at that I can't figure out how you miss someone taking off your watch.
