Pickpocket Magician Steals Everything Including His Tie!

Magician & Pickpocket Russ Appleby selects a victim, directs his attention elsewhere & nicks the lot!

[@anderslinden4701]

Thats why I always wear two ties.

[@RussAppleby]

Ha ha, smart thinking!

[@mgr001]

You are a funny guy. Yes, you are. I loved your comment.

[@gex25]

​@@mgr001 wtf...

[@gnehsse]

Ain't nobody's fool!

[@KentDonaldson]

This is what you call slick. The misdirection is second to none.

[@RussAppleby]

Thanks man! Check out the other videos, you’ll love them 😊

[@deanmoncaster]

There is no way he could get me the reason being is th Where hell has the rest of my message gone?!?!

[@RussAppleby]

That’s brilliant 😆😆😆

[@Twining1999]

This man is pure talent in the rawest form. Keep up the good work! :D

[@RussAppleby]

Ah thanks very much, I’ll send you one of the watches I’ve nicked 😂

[@thomasisaac7723]

HE IS SO GOOD!!!

[@RussAppleby]

Thank you 😁

[@noonoo6079]

Brilliant such fun… we all need a laugh in these troubled days thanks

[@RussAppleby]

Thank you. Check the latest one as security guards 😊

[@fsvideos2585]

I'd just triple check all of my pockets after this exibition

[@RussAppleby]

If I haven’t nicked them as well! 😆

[@elliotthedoge9456]

We should all cheer that he went to the bright side because I wouldn't let any random magician approach me anymore

[@RussAppleby]

Most random magicians are on a naughty register.

[@soejrd24978]

That's looks beautiful out there, spring time.. Green trees, flowers, warm sun

[@RussAppleby]

…thief.

[@FuzzyFatDragon]

amazing, you have a swift hand sir!

[@RussAppleby]

Thank you very much ☺️

Ha ha. Excellent 😁

[@irh1738]

Loved this

[@RussAppleby]

Ah thank you. Check out the others too, there’s some great ones.

[@lp1119]

He went for the watch too

[@RussAppleby]

I think I had a look at it when the coin appeared there but just went for everything else instead.

[@leonskum.5682]

Brilliant!!😂

[@RussAppleby]

Thank you very much 😁

[@DeepBlueWho]

Been Affleck out here with a side hustle

[@RussAppleby]

I’ll take that 👍🏼

[@stivenBermeo]

He probably returned it off camera but he kept the dude’s phone

[@RussAppleby]

I had to double check ha ha. Looks like I have it back at 1:36. Although it could still be in my suit.

[@deanmoncaster]

Are you available for hire?

[@RussAppleby]

I certainly am. smartmagic.co.uk

[@BobSchoepenjr]

Master 🤩

[@RussAppleby]

Thank you sir!

[@kevint7072]

Plot twist: When the guy got home he found 100 quid missing from his wallet; the whole misdirection magic trick was a misdirection!!

[@RussAppleby]

Ha ha. I like your thinking!

[@JirohMagic]

well played mate

[@RussAppleby]

Ahh thanks very much 😁

[@wesbrit630]

Yet another reason we don't open our hearts up and trust each other! Seriously though need to be on Penn&Teller fool us, if its still on.

[@fsvideos2585]

I kinda agree, but they wouldn't be fooled by this, at least I saw he stealing everything, just the "victim" isn't able to realize...

[@overkillblackjack2910]

Russ, are people who appear laid back and nice easier marks than those who come across as intense and serious and uptight?

[@RussAppleby]

Yes, I usually don’t try it with anyone who looks too ‘uptight’. It’s important to use people who seem open to the contact & interaction needed to pull it off. Great question.

[@overkillblackjack2910]

@@RussAppleby thanks.

[@rabbitshady499]

Still not as smooth as Apollo Robbins. 😅 But this is amazing!

[@RussAppleby]

Fair comment. I’d only been doing it a year by this point from learning to performing. He is very VERY good!

[@3-kloro-metan140]

this video gonna blow up

Thanks, it's been own a while & got 5,000 views but it did 62,000 on TikTok.

Man walks up to man and touches him one million times. Hardly surprising

[@RussAppleby]

And yet totally surprising to him & all the people watching…. How surprising.

[@kiefmanning7394]

The most violent pickpocket I have ever seen. This borders on assault.

[@RussAppleby]

I shall await your attempt & until then, continue doing it for a living to great applause, laughter & copious amounts of money love 😘

@@RussAppleby at least you are humble and have a sense of humor. This is the first I seen of you. Sorry.

Forgive me, but there is *NO* way s/one could remove a tie I would have on, or most *ALL* of the other things removed from this guy's person.

[@RussAppleby]

You sound perfect. I’d take it all.

[@Kman.]

@@RussAppleby 🤣🤣🤣 Love the reply...it made me literally LOL

[@aarong8457]

I don't think this magic shows how good he is as much as it shows how reta*ded we are.

[@RussAppleby]

It’s a combination of both but mainly I’m excellent 😁

[@paradoxofgodexisting]

Do you happen to be related to Sir Humphrey by any chance? 😄 Not only your last name but also the ability to play people and take whats not yours, too many stars are aligning to write it off as a coincidence. 😆

[@RussAppleby]

Ha ha. I never knew his surname was Appleby! Maybe we’re both fictional too!

[@paradoxofgodexisting]

@@RussAppleby 😦 I knew it, i am the only self aware avatar, you are all a part of the matrix 😱

[@romeolajh1602]

Only blind man could not see that you were untieing his tie all the video as well as on 1:33 bluring a video so people cant see that you took his tie off:)

[@RussAppleby]

Sadly the video blurred because the lady I gave my phone too wasn’t pointing it particularly at right place so autofocus took affect. When I’m pickpocketing, the audience watching is ‘in on it’ I don’t try to hide the fact other than from the person I’m stealing from. It’s a peak behind the curtain but thanks for the comment.

[@pbziegler]

I was once asked to be a shill for a pickpocket show in Vegas. He set me up ahead of time to take my tie and then my shirt. Notice that kept adjusting the man's tie. Because he was concerned that it was coming out before he got to the point where he took it off. But he's still good

[@RussAppleby]

Some stage pickpockets do that. I don’t. The shirt makes no sense physically & a tie can be taken without them knowing anyway so there’s no need for stooging. The ‘adjusting of the tie’ is actually me taking it step by step ready to whip it away 😘

[@sharpthingsinspace9721]

In the beginning of the video why is his tie out of his collar you can clearly see it, sad.

[@RussAppleby]

Because I’d already pulled some out as I turned him around before the camera had started recording. You’re welcome.

[@user-kt2hl5mf1t]

You think internet videos start and end in the run time? Lmao. The world still spins even if no camera is pointing lil bro. They were already doing the bit before the camera started. Use your brain next time.

[@RussAppleby]

@@user-kt2hl5mf1t True dat 😁

[@sharpthingsinspace9721]

@@RussApplebygood god then didn’t you show it. I know how to where a tie and there is no way you are going to get it off without me noticing. Show how you did it big boy.

would've been great if he'd been able to remove his underwear

[@RussAppleby]

He needs to buy me a drink before any of that shananigans 😆

[@kyleleon85]

This only works because of the context.

[@RussAppleby]

So in short, it works.

[@kyleleon85]

@@RussAppleby yes but only in the context that he’s demonstrating the ability to pick his pockets. If he were a stranger and this was a genuine scenario, he would never be able to steal his tie.

[@RussAppleby]

@@kyleleon85 I see what you’re saying but he is a stranger & I can get a tie off in 3 moves so as long as I have an initial reason (straightening his tie once) & 2 other reasons to be near him I could do it.

[@undetected2088]

@@RussApplebyExcept that never happens in actual real life of course.

@@undetected2088 Hi, welcome to my real life. I hope you like all the videos recording my real life where I steal things including ties in the real life. 😁
