He should be part of now you see me

[@bullsquid42]

Lol, when he comes in everybody cheers. Yet apparently none of them even knew who he was, or they would have recognised him when he was the security guy.

[@owenlynott]

It's just being polite

[@bullsquid42]

Owen Lynott Maybe. Or maybe it's just doing what the guy holding up the "applause" sign tells you to do, I don't know.

[@owenlynott]

Ahahaha oh yeah

You know, one could make the argument that Katie was a pickpocket in her own right....got millions from the network for a show that seemed to only last about a year! Just a thought! 😜

Real pick pockets are scumbags

[@artsmith103]

It's kind of like hypnotizing, nobody thinks it can be done to them.

[@jeffwei3112]

It would be more interesting to know how pick pockets train. How they develop their skills. I remember in China, people have this city legend that pick pockets train by using two fingers to pick a bar of soap from boiling water.

[@RosheenQuynh]

Thieves got to have some really great control of their hands and fingers, which automatically make them great at massaging others o3o

[@blovlh6258]

Um, no really.

[@RosheenQuynh]

Blovl H No? How come? Seems logical to me xD

[@olensoifer9901]

Bullshit: Everyone acclimates to what they are wearing and what is in their pocket after a time. In fact, your arrogance probably makes you even more vulnerable than average!

[@bryanfidelman3846]

Panda Bear and it’s that illusion of invulnerability that will ultimately screw u in the end

[@JessRansdellSmith]

I've watched him take scarves from around necks, glasses off people's faces, wallets, watches, keys, other small things out of pockets, and cellphones out of people's hands/pockets and you think you'd know. LOL! He specifically uses tricks to make you feel like the stuff is still there while he's taking it until he's got you distracted enough to slip it away.

[@fishman9240]

@@JessRansdellSmith i personally have autism and i can see and understand people at a much faster pace , distraction don't bother me at all because i am well focus on the person at hand , i pay attention to the little fine details of a person and i have been fooling people since i was young

[@JessRansdellSmith]

@@fishman9240 You should watch more on this guy. He, literally, uses the fact that nobody can pay full attention on everything around them all the time to his advantage. It's literally not possible. This little clip barely even scratches the surface of what he can do. He's even stated that he's pretty sure he could be pick pocketed even though he knows all the tricks because it uses the brain's mechanism of not overloading itself with information to his advantage.

[@laughinglikefuck297]

[@jules-cm2xn]

A thieft always has some respect for his art.. It took him quite a while of practice to reach this level, you have to learn how to move your hands, how to bring the peoples attention where you want it (away from what you wanna steal, while keeping them comfortable) plus social psycho..

[@jesusaguirre9700]

oh crissy, you are so beautiful
