8 million thief watching
As a pickpocket learning to pick up new skills, I cannot thank Wired enough for this video.
Watching this in preparation for my next trip to Europe…
Yeah same here good luck 👍🏻
This is not pickpocketing, it’s just like an illusionist working in a setup where the target already trusts him. He should have tried pickpocketing complete strangers who won’t talk to him.
It’s my first day of pick pocketing thanks for the instruction. Everyone wish me good luck🐞🍀
Good luck man 👍🏻 I started yesterday it’s going well
The watches, ehhhhh they felt it
16 yaşındayım ve bunları eğlencesine sınıftakilere yapıyorum çok zevkli
Thank you for the pickpocketing lesson
“you should look inward”
Thank you sm my new side hustle unlock
1:47 I’m absolutely sure it would have took months for her to notice
1:49 for what???
Bro I was looking for pickpocketing but in Skyrim
10:32 if I knew people would be so grateful for getting robbed I would have been a criminal!
Great let’s teach people how to pick pocket 👍🏻
“I suggest a wealthy oil Mogul” got me to like
13:45 so basically ocd/adhd, nice. Just ho-e that whoever you’re stealing doesn’t have any of these two things, otherwise they will feel you 😂😭
Wish me luck guys. Finna go put what I learned in use
Now do it with a hypervigilant autist who’s been beaten his entire childhood.
I love how at 8:43 he says “watch” right as he takes her watch
