4640	7680	Hi folks, James Harrison here in the confines of my house,
8320	12400	wanting to help you all practice pickpocketing so we can all get ready
12400	15280	for next year, because I can't wait to see you all.
15640	20760	Now, for those who possibly wonder,
21230	28100	why should I listen to this guy? Well, I pickpockets for a living. I
28100	33000	have gone overseas to entertain and educate and all the rest of it,
33000	37720	and I've brought all my equipment for you guys all to enjoy.
38240	41760	But if it's all right, I'm going to get the Four Suits company here to help me
41760	45580	out and present a little video, just for a
45580	50420	refresher, of why I'm doing a talk on pickpocketing,
50420	57120	if you don't mind.
57120	61040	Ladies and gentlemen, all the way from Canada, after 10 years
61040	63700	of us going back and forth, we finally got James Harrison,
63700	67280	pickpocket extraordinaire, and somebody who just performed at the
67280	71180	Rogue's Village in DEFCON. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. Not to
71180	74280	toot my own horn, but apparently there was more people there at my show than
74280	77940	yours. I used to think that this was
77940	82940	something you only saw in movies, until I saw you do it last night. It was a
82940	86160	total blast. We went to the Moon Tower Saloon, where we shoot a ton of
86160	89460	Scam School, Scam Nation episodes, and it was so fun to just point and say,
89460	94180	do the thing. So guys, we thought we'd try something out here,
94180	98440	just something silly with my ring. Lane, do you mind double checking that for me?
99020	103280	It doesn't bend or open or do anything silly? Just a normal ring to me.
103280	105360	Fair enough, because in a moment I'm going to frustrate you, and I don't want
105360	107020	you to blame the ring, I want you to blame me.
107020	112340	So if I take my ring, throw it back on. Yeah, it gets really weird. Do you have
112340	115120	one that comes off? I do. Pop it off, if you don't mind, for
115120	118440	just a second. Sure. Awesome. You seemed a little hesitant.
118960	121860	So I'll tell you what, we'll put mine in the pocket. Okay.
122460	124940	And we won't put yours in the pocket. Okay.
124940	128520	We'll take your ring, and if I give it a squeeze, now it's my ring.
129600	133140	Do you know where yours went? Not in the pocket, because I told you I
133140	136020	would never put it there. Lane, why don't you come over and give
136020	138200	me a hand real quick. Come on up. You get to be my Vanna.
138200	140400	Okay. Now, I can make it jump back and forth
140400	142920	in my hands. Can you hold your hands open for me for one second?
142940	145960	Excellent. I'm going to put my ring here, your ring there.
146500	149340	I'm going to ask you to squeeze my ring as tight as you can.
149640	153840	Excellent. Turn your hand over. Hold tight, because it might disappear
153840	155000	from your hand. Okay.
155000	157840	Squeeze this hand as well. And do you know this lady well enough
157840	160040	she can hold your hand without it being awkward? Sure.
160280	162940	Could you do that? Excellent. We're going to try and get...
163560	167160	Now you made it awkward. That's fine.
167160	169520	We're going to get this ring to join that one there. Ready?
169560	173060	One, two, three. Did you feel it go?
173060	176320	Drop my ring. Open that one up.
176780	180540	I said I'd get it there. I did not say how. Not all of these are good tricks.
180540	183640	Some of these are bad jokes. You can put your ring on for one second,
183640	187420	but I'm going to borrow my ring. Because if I take my ring,
187420	190820	I may jump around. Did you feel it go? Oh, sorry.
190820	194480	That's your phone there. I don't want to play with your phone there.
194660	198400	That's stuck in there. Good. But here's the funny thing.
198980	203140	Did you feel me take that? I did not.
203140	203800	No? No.
203800	206380	If you didn't feel that, you probably didn't feel this either.
206380	209120	No, I didn't. Thank you for not hitting me.
210400	214680	So what really struck me is how important having a process, having a magic trick,
214680	216980	the fact that you were pretending to be doing one thing,
216980	218740	but actually grabbing the wristwatch was,
218740	222780	because it bought you an inordinate amount of time holding their wrist.
222780	225680	I mean, I knew you were doing it. Like after a minute, then I'm like,
225680	228020	he's had his hand on that wrist for a long time.
228020	231400	You don't have to be fast. You just got to be smooth.
231500	234740	And if I can instruct you on something, that means that you're going to be nice
234740	239060	and let me do what I need to do under the pretense of helping me out.
239060	240960	Is that the most important fundamental,
240960	244360	the fact that you need permission to be touching somebody for a long time?
244360	247620	Oh, of course. If I just come up and grab you,
247620	251640	there is no way that you're going to let me stay there longer than the fact that I touched you.
251640	255140	Which is more important, manual dexterity or verbal dexterity?
255140	259920	Oh, that's good for myself. I find verbal dexterity works way better
259920	262680	because if I can distract you with my mouth,
262680	265620	then I can take way more time with my hands to take things.
265620	270400	Yeah, I guess the whole verbal dexterity thing is just don't arouse suspicion.
270400	272820	It's only when they become suspicious that you run into trouble.
272820	275920	Like if I assume that if I'm holding your wrist doing a thing and I'm like,
275920	282740	yeah, and also if I don't have that, then people are like, what is happening here?
282740	286940	And then they kind of do a self scan and we're like, he's really fidgeting on my wrist.
286940	290480	You have to be dexterous enough and clever enough to create
291040	294240	a good enough smoke screen for what you're actually wanting to do.
294240	298100	A smoke screen is a perfect analogy because that's what I'm trying to do.
298100	302080	Whether it's with my words or actions with my body or my other hand,
302080	307100	that allows me the time I need to slip a wrist, watch off.
307100	309160	Well, teach us the fundamentals. How do we start?
309160	317980	We start with proving that I can do something really, really well.
317980	322000	Yeah, when I know a magic trick's about to happen, then it happens and it tricks me anyway.
322000	324000	I love it. I love it. I love how mad he gets.
324100	328980	So it just occurs to me that once you do, all you need to do is that one decent trick.
328980	331120	And after that, everything else could be a fake trick.
331120	335060	Like you could do two minutes of grab these, swap these, who's got a coin?
335060	337680	And then you could just end with like, oh, I guess it didn't work.
337680	340100	Then you have a watch.
340100	341500	We're going to use your watch, Brian,
341500	345540	because this is a leather strap watch or a belt buckle watch.
345540	347880	Leather's the best, especially if you're starting out.
347880	351500	So I just realized that a very important part is finding a good target.
351500	354860	You probably spend 20 minutes looking for the right wrist watch
354860	357180	before you do the five minute performance.
357180	359620	That's kind of suspicious behavior. He's casing you,
359620	361720	just like casing a house, like we did on Hacking the System.
361720	365020	Yeah, exactly. What you see is just tip of the iceberg.
365020	367200	Everything else I'm doing is under the water.
367200	369560	I'm casing, I'm looking for the right targets.
369560	373200	I'm looking for people that don't have a problem with people in their personal space.
373920	376780	They seem like they will listen to instructions.
377260	380580	These are the people that oftentimes make good volunteers for magic tricks.
380580	383660	You look for people who look you in the eye when you say hello to them
383660	386560	or they're clearly engaged and distracted and on a date
386560	389240	and looking for an excuse to have something amazing happen.
389240	392880	All of these are the same traits that will make them, I assume, a good target.
392880	396900	Absolutely. So first thing I have to do is I have to get you to hold your hand open.
396900	399580	I'm going to make something amazing happen with my ring.
399580	400180	Right.
400460	402540	All I need you to do is just squeeze your hand.
402540	403020	Okay.
403080	403920	Perfect.
403920	405500	This hand goes over top.
405740	409700	My thumb goes right on the tongue of the watch.
409700	410320	Okay.
410540	411480	Right there.
411480	419040	And when I grab this here, my thumb is going to use friction to push that through like so.
419040	421120	This seems like such a dangerous moment.
421120	422720	It kind of is.
422800	424180	But luckily, this is also...
424620	430420	Well, also when I'm doing this here with my motor functions,
430420	433800	I'm asking, again, distracting with instruction,
433800	437880	to open this hand and we're going to get into a moment of just a little bit of disconnect
437880	440060	because you don't understand what to do.
440060	440420	Okay.
440420	442260	I'm going to ask you to hold your hand up like this.
442260	442400	Right.
442400	444680	And I'm going to tell you to close your hand.
444680	445120	Okay.
445120	446380	My thumb's in the way.
446380	448780	Right. So I'm waiting for you to move your thumb.
448780	453840	And so essentially you're handing me the awkward situation like,
453840	454800	Oh, I'm sorry.
454800	455240	Exactly.
455240	456780	All of my attention goes right here.
456780	459180	Because you're on his side now and you want this to work.
459180	459640	Yeah. Exactly.
459640	460660	You don't want to fail.
460660	461020	Yeah.
461060	463500	Exactly. And when I ask you to squeeze that tight...
463500	463900	Okay.
463900	465800	This is the moment that I squeeze over here.
465800	466720	Oh, that's great.
466720	468040	Because I'm 100% focused.
468040	469880	And then there I pop the pin.
469880	472720	The pin is now popped, ready to go.
472760	474880	And then I turn this over like so.
474940	478020	And again, this is all process that I assume is leading up to a magic trick.
478020	478360	Exactly.
478360	478860	Right.
479100	482760	The thumb, again, does its job to push this all the way through.
482760	484300	You can take your time with that.
484300	486060	All the time in the world.
486060	486360	Okay.
486360	488000	And then when I'm ready, I'm just gonna...
488000	489060	This is the one thing...
489060	495080	The one thing you'll notice when I do this is when we're ready to pull the watch off your wrist,
495080	497180	I give it a little extra squeeze.
497180	497720	Okay.
497720	502020	So I assume that's so that I won't notice the difference in pressure.
502020	503400	Because there's always on my wrist.
503400	504860	And it anchors in your mind.
505120	506800	I feel my watch.
506800	507340	Right.
507340	507640	Okay.
507640	508180	Okay.
508180	510240	So I'm going to have you let go here.
510800	514780	I reach under here just for the moment to drop the ring for my gag.
514780	515600	There you go.
515680	518280	I give it a squeeze. I say, open your hand here.
518280	518700	Yep.
518700	520500	Perfect. And then I've got your watch.
520500	522540	That was very fast.
522600	526580	You bother to do a whole routine at this point and keep everyone's attention.
526580	529720	And then you get that time delay that is so important to magicians.
529720	531840	Because you get the moments of amazement.
531840	537340	In fact, it's probably even better if you lock that away and then do three or four other routines.
537340	541660	And then finally, it's a guy who's been sitting down for 10 minutes for sure.
541660	542560	The use of the ring.
542560	545300	And this is something that really appeals to me.
545540	546760	It's not an illusion.
546760	547880	It's a trick.
547880	549240	It really is a trick in this.
549240	550680	And it doesn't require any skill.
550680	552620	You're just saying, hold it here. Now hold it here.
552620	552720	Yeah.
552720	556660	You don't have to learn something else on top of how to do all of this.
556660	561260	So the only bummer, I guess you have to practice with a friend.
561260	563520	Because you can't practice on yourself really, right?
563520	564500	You actually can't.
564500	564900	What?
564900	565780	You'll go blind.
568040	571760	With the technique that I'm showing you, this thumb here,
571760	574800	all you're doing is you're kind of like giving yourself a handshake.
574800	575840	Oh yeah, you're right.
575840	578260	So you can just sit there and practice it.
578260	581640	Once you've got that part there, you just give it a little squeeze.
581640	582140	Got it.
582140	585860	And you're going to use the tongue to push the pin.
586520	586720	Yep.
586720	589600	Now this is important. You don't want the pin to fall back into the hole.
589600	589920	Right.
589920	592780	So you're just going to go on a small angle as this goes.
592780	594860	Oh, that's great. So it's slightly off.
594860	597220	And then now it's pretty much done.
597220	600280	You give a squeeze, because even though it's still threaded through,
600280	605480	that moment when it comes off, wow, that is shockingly easy.
605660	607880	And so I assume that with this type of watch,
607880	611240	there's different variations based on where they're positioned that you do.
611240	613980	Yeah, when I'm standing in front of you, I have to use my thumb
613980	616520	because that's just where everything lands.
616520	619120	But if I found you on the other side of me,
619120	622980	I would need to use my middle finger because that's my next strongest finger in my hand.
622980	624420	Okay, what about this crazy one?
624420	626520	He's got like a manacle on him.
626740	630280	Well, when you're starting out, you don't use him.
630280	630980	Okay.
631160	633960	There's absolutely no way I can steal this watch.
633960	638100	I even point out what I got to deal with here and turn it over like this.
638240	641520	And I'm going to ask Jason, Jason, now that I've distracted you,
641520	643720	did you notice that I might have taken your wallet?
643920	644400	No.
644400	648220	And then when you go to look for it, he pulls his hand right out.
648240	649140	Oh, okay.
649140	652400	So you, you get the proof that you can steal watches.
653940	656740	Oh, oh, you actually thought he had taken the...
657220	658660	This is not my wallet.
658660	659960	I know this is.
664620	666400	And I was watching you.
666400	668240	I really should have put this back.
668240	669680	There's not much to take.
669680	671220	No, no.
671280	673280	Patreon.com slash modern room.
675160	677060	Oh, that's so great.
677300	678560	Legit got me.
678560	680120	I was watching for it.
680120	681260	I was trying to help.
681260	683260	You turned me into your confederate.
683260	683880	Yeah, man.
683880	684900	That's my job.
684900	686160	Oh, that's so great.
687160	688300	Very well done, sir.
688300	689240	Thank you.
689240	691500	Uh, so are we going to learn how to do that?
692940	694840	We'll save this for part two.
695380	697240	I want to learn that too.
697620	700520	So let's come back and see part two.
706480	710940	Okay, I hope you enjoyed the trip down memory lane.
711480	716560	And what we're going to do is we're going to go over the basics of how to practice at
716560	718000	home and by yourself.
718320	721760	So we can get ready for next year because I got a lot of stuff planned with you guys
721760	722980	with the four suits company.
722980	728200	Okay, first thing you're going to have to do is have a place to practice.
728200	733900	I have myself made a dummy out of PVC pipe.
734300	739960	But if you don't want to go to Home Depot and make it, you can quite literally hang
740700	747500	a big hoodie or jacket off a hanger and hang the hanger off some string off a ceiling or
747620	748340	a doorframe.
750440	757900	These are useful tools so you can go over the repetitive nature of practice with this.
757900	759540	I usually have this set up.
759540	763720	I have my TV over in the corner so I can just watch whatever I'm doing so I can go over
763720	764900	the muscle memory.
764920	772200	Okay, you want to be able to have, if you do go the dummy route, you do want to be able
772200	777100	to have the arms move up and down so you don't want to glue the shoulders when you do this.
777100	785080	Okay, but all you do is you make a frame like a square with two T's, sort of like what I
785080	786500	have here for the neck.
786500	791460	Okay, shooting up so you can make the legs and all the rest of it.
791460	793720	Now you want to pad your dummy out.
793720	795660	You don't want to just put clothes on there.
795660	802160	So get some old towels and rags and wrap the legs and everything so you get a feel of weight
802160	804040	and girth on your dummy.
804280	809520	Okay, but once this is ready to go, or if you've gone the quick route with just the
809520	812500	hanger, you need stuff to practice with.
812500	817140	Okay, I've chosen a couple things to play with.
817320	828900	We're going to choose a pen for hanging items, sort of like ID tags and Arabiners and stuff
828900	829600	like that.
829600	834380	Okay, usually there's some kind of important information on whatever those things are,
834380	839380	whether it's an ID tag, a clearance card, that sort of thing.
839380	841740	We're also going to be playing with a cell phone.
841740	846220	Okay, mine is an old busted up iPhone 6.
846700	851880	And these are going to let you practice out of any pocket you want to play with.
852180	856780	Mainly because one, it's a lot smoother to have come out of a pocket.
857200	863080	And two, not everybody is going to be wearing one, like have a wallet that they have all
863080	867460	the stuff because we're all going digital now and all our stuff is going to be on our
867980	868820	phones.
868820	874140	Or three, the third item that we're going to be working with is a watch.
874780	876200	We'll play with those things.
876200	878700	And I'm going to show you how you can practice these at home.
878700	882140	That way, we can go over all the different steps later.
882140	888240	Because just like I was reminded by our good friends at Foursuits, I will be answering
888240	890120	questions in the Discord.
890120	892380	So write the questions down.
892380	895040	I'll be happy to answer whatever questions you may have.
895040	899840	So starting off with hanging items.
899840	907240	I like to think of it like if you ever watched The Professional, how he was teaching how
907240	912960	to assassinate from the furthest away to the closest.
913280	916340	And we're wanting to practice that way, okay?
916360	922100	You have the hanging items on the outside of the jacket or a hoodie or a shirt, case
922100	922580	may be.
922580	926020	You have the inside of the pockets and then you have the pants pockets, which are a little
926020	927100	more sensitive.
927320	931700	Right now, we're just going to be staying on the outside of the jacket, okay?
931820	933840	We'll get to the inside in a moment.
933840	935880	But right now, we just want to deal with this.
937500	943260	So what you're going to want to use is your thumb and index finger and your middle finger.
943260	949260	You're going to be doing a clipping motion like this and like this, okay?
949260	953100	You put your thumb on the one side, you put your middle finger on the other side, your
953100	957360	index finger goes on top, and you're going to lift.
957980	961040	It's very simple, because it is.
961240	966760	However, you can't just walk up to someone and just lift it out of their pocket.
966760	971080	They tend to notice, especially because their eyes are going to follow whatever moves.
971080	973260	It's what our eyes are designed to do.
973600	977460	So you have to come up with a reason for your hand to go there.
977460	985120	Nowadays, it's going to be a little difficult, but once we get used to socializing on a regular
985120	991240	basis more normally, where we're having more physical contact, a lot of gestures tend to
991240	994080	be the pat on the shoulder, okay?
994220	998040	When you're going for the pat on the shoulder, like, hey, good to see you, I got to get going
998040	1003140	kind of thing, I find that if you pat the shoulder and let the hand just sort of come
1003140	1012840	down, not touching, just in front of the person, and let your hand just sort of graze it.
1013140	1019560	Once it's in position, you bring your other hand to push, and that way you're kind of
1020220	1025780	clipping the shoulder underneath and on top, and then, oh, have a good one, and you're
1025780	1031000	lifting this out and using the shoulder for cover, okay?
1032040	1037020	There are other ways to do this, but I find for practice, you just want to work on that.
1037760	1041640	Very simple, very beginner-esque kind of thing.
1041720	1046700	And if you have friends, this is the perfect thing to play with each other.
1047340	1053400	Believe it or not, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as my father used to do
1053400	1056240	this in high school, and this was something that he would do with his friends.
1056240	1059020	They would just bond into each other and take stuff.
1059600	1062780	So I don't underestimate how important that is.
1062780	1067120	It also gives you the hand-eye coordination to practice this, because you want to be able
1067120	1071060	to play with different scenarios, because not everything's going to be in this pocket,
1071860	1076860	not everything's going to be hanging out of here, but we've got to have a place to start,
1076860	1077520	okay?
1077520	1083740	So your hand comes here, tap, tap, lift, okay?
1083800	1088960	Try and get a rhythm with it so it feels a little more natural, sort of like a dance,
1088960	1089720	okay?
1089940	1096860	But when you reach in, the hand just goes there to clip, you do your tap, bring it up.
1096860	1103380	You can actually switch hands if you want to, but again, these are little motions and
1103380	1107700	little things of rhythm that you're going to find work better suited for your body type
1107700	1110620	and the way you move your body, okay?
1110620	1114780	And we can go over that stuff in the Q&A, all right?
1114900	1118760	The other thing, too, is that there will always be loose items in pockets that are
1118760	1125500	put here, so when you want to reach inside, you're going to want to use a two-finger approach,
1125500	1126300	okay?
1126620	1130660	When this finger goes in, you're going to move whatever you need.
1130780	1136220	If it's a pen, for instance, you're going to be clipping it like this, okay?
1136260	1143200	However, if it's like an ID tag or a room card or any of that kind of stuff, I believe
1143200	1144120	I have it here.
1144120	1145280	Phone pocket.
1145820	1149860	Too many things to worry about in the pockets of my dummy.
1151440	1154620	But if you use a card, it can be any one.
1154620	1160860	You can get these from stores, like any gift card will work because they carry the same
1160860	1166120	kind of information or a capacity of carrying the same information, so these are fun to
1166120	1166940	play with.
1166980	1169780	A lot of people put them in quick pockets, okay?
1169780	1174280	Quick pockets usually being the outside front pocket or hoodie pockets.
1174560	1178600	And I don't want to get into hoodies right now, though they are important to play with
1178600	1185860	because we find that it's a type of clothing that a lot of people wear, and when it's
1185860	1188400	unzipped, they sort of hang in the same position.
1188400	1193180	But for now, I want you to practice what we're going over for now.
1193680	1198380	Everything starts with the first step, so we're working on those first steps.
1198380	1204520	So when you go in here to get this, instead of clipping like this, you're going to do
1204520	1208690	more like scissors, not like a cheerleader.
1208920	1219440	You're going to go in here, push the pocket away from the body to create space so your
1219440	1225020	fingers can clip the card and pull it out, okay?
1225020	1232560	I find for something like this pocket here, when you're doing this, it is better to have
1232560	1237660	this be the after effect of what's going on, if that makes any sense.
1238220	1242760	What I'm trying to do is I want my fingers to go in here, but I don't want his eyesight
1242760	1245360	to follow to this pocket.
1245360	1253560	So just like in magic, a bigger motion works better so the smaller motion can be hidden.
1254940	1261380	You're going to kind of reach across this person like they're in the way of what you're
1261380	1268580	trying to get to, whether it's an object, person, or a local cafe, wherever we're doing
1268580	1269500	the same.
1269500	1275260	But you're reaching across this person to dip your fingers in, and you're going to
1275260	1278140	continue going that direction, okay?
1278140	1283300	So when you've put your body in front of them to sort of make them look the way you
1283300	1290580	want them to look, these hands dip into this pocket and lift it out, okay?
1291080	1294360	Now the same can be said for putting items back.
1294440	1296640	Why would you want to put items back?
1296640	1300620	Well, you want to put items back because you don't want them to think that you did
1300620	1306860	anything. Because I know a couple people that I'm sure can get the information off
1306860	1307960	these quite quickly.
1307960	1314340	So if I'm able to lift one of these, feed it to one of my friends, and then come back
1314340	1320900	later and put that back in the pocket without them knowing, I think you're going to have
1321060	1327160	a much longer time period where you get to use that information without this person being
1327160	1328200	suspicious.
1329280	1336380	So, to be able to take it out is one thing, to put it back in is sort of a little different
1336380	1339880	only because you can't hold it at the fingers.
1339880	1344280	You can't hold it here to do this, okay?
1344280	1349200	You have to hold it in more of this kind of motion.
1349200	1355200	Your thumb is holding it where the muscle of the pinky is holding it right there, okay?
1355200	1360240	You're going to take this, and again we're doing the pat, okay?
1360240	1365360	Like we're hitting the shoulder, and then this hand comes down and just slides right
1365360	1367580	in, okay?
1367580	1374420	And then our ID badge is back where it needs to be, and we've got a much bigger window
1374420	1376500	to work from, okay?
1376500	1379100	So just boom, and in it goes.
1379540	1384900	So when you are at home and you've got your jacket that you're practicing this on, this
1384900	1386840	is what you're going to start with.
1386840	1390900	So you're going to start with your pen, and you're going to start with a gift card,
1390900	1393680	simulating our ID badges, okay?
1394220	1397660	If there's any questions, again, please put them in the Discord.
1397660	1400820	I'll be happy to answer them for you, okay?
1401060	1406520	Now, the next item that we're going to play with is the cell phone.
1406520	1408020	We all have them.
1408020	1410120	We all like to take care of them.
1410120	1418280	So this is going a little closer to the body, so we have to use a little more direction
1418280	1421980	of attention to make sure that we get away with this, okay?
1421980	1426600	Because it's on the inside here, this is going to be a little harder, and we have to
1426600	1434300	create scenarios in which will allow us to have the opportunity to do this.
1434300	1443520	So to go on the inside of a jacket, like this, to grab the phone, by itself is not good.
1443520	1445920	We need scenarios to work with.
1445920	1451020	It could be anything as simple as someone reaching up to put stuff away, say an airport
1451020	1452180	luggage.
1452240	1457780	It could be as simple as someone reaching for something in a store, okay?
1457780	1460860	When they reach, this opens up, okay?
1460860	1466920	Again, while we make sure that our dummy's arm can move, okay?
1466920	1473740	When they reach up, this creates the space away from the body that allows us to reach
1473740	1475540	in here, okay?
1476100	1485190	Now, what you want to do is not just reach in when they're moving their body out of the
1485190	1485770	way.
1485770	1492970	You're going to want to be a help, but be a hindrance.
1493330	1497790	And what I mean is you're trying to be helpful, but in reality, you're being a hindrance,
1497790	1503570	and you're annoying them, and they want you to go away as quickly as possible, okay?
1503570	1509830	So when the arm goes up, this arm is going to be under here to go for the jacket, because
1509830	1513570	this is no longer near the body to be able to be felt, okay?
1513570	1515050	And you're going to reach there.
1515050	1520150	You're going to be putting your hand up here to be in the way, all the rest of it.
1520150	1528170	And then these two fingers have clipped the foam, and you just slide it out like so, okay?
1528590	1530570	It's a very simple technique.
1530570	1534570	The two-finger technique is a workhorse, okay?
1534570	1537450	You're definitely going to want to practice with those two fingers.
1537450	1540290	And it's just repetition, okay?
1540290	1545830	Now, if you don't have the arm movement, and you're just using the coat hanger, that's fine.
1545830	1548470	There are other techniques, and I'll show you that now.
1548830	1557330	All we're going to do is we're going to do sort of like a little bit of a ballet, okay?
1557410	1564390	Your hand is going to go here and reach around the jacket, okay?
1564390	1568730	So your hand goes like this as you reach into the pocket to grab the foam.
1568730	1575050	But what you're going to do is, and I apologize, I'm going to turn my back to you for one second.
1575050	1580530	When I turn, I'm going to look this person in the face, keep eye contact,
1581210	1584510	so I can slip this out without him looking down.
1584510	1587810	Because what's going to happen is I'm going to turn this way.
1588890	1595830	I apologize for going out of frame, but what I'm doing is that I'm stepping out of his
1596810	1600550	sort of view of the world, okay?
1600550	1604970	Because as much as we want to think that we can see everything,
1604970	1608690	when it's up close, you'll find, especially if you're looking at video,
1610070	1614150	that's where I can't see my hand anymore, okay?
1614150	1616630	So if it's up close here, I'm looking straight ahead,
1616630	1620670	you've got a lot of window space here to reach in.
1620670	1623950	So if I'm making sure that this gentleman is looking at me,
1623950	1627910	I can easily... oh, excuse me, sir. I apologize. Let me get out of your way.
1627910	1631990	And I can use that awkwardness and looking him in the eye,
1631990	1636330	which is not a comfortable thing for people,
1636330	1640230	and they want to get out of that uncomfortable situation as quickly as possible.
1640270	1644650	So that facilitates us reaching into here because they're not going to be worried about this.
1644650	1647850	They're going to be worried about this, okay?
1647990	1653390	I have no problems about being awkward about stuff because I have a goal in mind.
1653390	1656450	And that's the same thing that you guys are going to have to practice,
1656450	1662450	is working for that goal so you guys can overcome the awkwardness, okay?
1662630	1666090	And now all you're doing is you're just using those two fingers again
1666090	1669930	to hold onto the phone, to put it inside.
1670230	1673550	Last year, there were some people that were having difficulties
1673550	1676050	with picking the phone up with those two fingers.
1676050	1679830	We came up with solutions because their hands were much smaller.
1679830	1685090	So if anyone in the Discord remembers this, please make mention
1685090	1687210	because I remember us working on that.
1687210	1691150	And I don't think I've seen anywhere in print about people using this technique.
1691150	1693830	So I think we kind of came up with something on the spot.
1694510	1697630	But what they were doing was that they were using all four fingers
1697630	1699790	because they could get their whole hand in.
1700790	1703210	And what they were doing is that they were doing this
1703210	1708390	with the first and last finger down, middle and ring finger up,
1709150	1711690	and they were gripping it like this.
1711850	1715050	This allowed them to use more muscles in their hands
1715050	1720590	to be able to lift a heavier object, like a phone with a case on it.
1720870	1725290	But because their hands were smaller, they were able to reach into a pocket
1725830	1728770	and pull it out with that technique, okay?
1728770	1731110	So you have this technique here.
1731650	1734250	There's usually a three-finger technique,
1734250	1739750	but with smaller hands, we worked on a four-finger technique, okay?
1739750	1743470	So try all of them. See which one works for you the best.
1743470	1746130	That will be important, okay?
1746910	1753030	Now, you can do this with the cell phone in almost genuinely any pocket.
1754590	1758450	You can use the cell phone for the pants pockets as well.
1758550	1762210	I would suggest avoiding the pants pockets for now
1763310	1770450	only because it's a little more involved and it takes a lot more time to go over everything.
1770450	1773970	And I don't want to do that with you guys right now because we only have so much time.
1773990	1779170	I'd rather do this in person as well because I'm able to hit all the little minutia with it.
1779170	1782230	So I'm trying to get everybody's baby steps going
1782230	1785650	so when we meet up next year, we'll be able to do a whole bunch of cool stuff
1785650	1788490	because we've got a lot of cool things in store for you next year.
1788490	1797170	But when I've got it in the pocket, you're wanting to use those fingers to hold on to it, okay?
1797830	1802510	Now, our last item is the watch.
1802510	1804510	How do you practice that by yourself?
1804550	1809710	Well, I've seen videos where they show you how to do a doweling rod,
1809710	1815370	wrap it with towels and duct tape and practice and practice and practice.
1816130	1821350	But we're just going to practice the buckle strap for now.
1821350	1825330	There are other kinds to practice, but this is the kind that I want you to practice for now.
1825470	1828930	There are the Apple watches and the Fitbits and all that kind of stuff.
1828930	1832030	But again, we're trying to walk, not run.
1832670	1838490	And all I'm going to do to do this, this thumb is going to do all the work.
1838750	1840690	You're going to put your thumb right here.
1840990	1842250	You're going to push.
1842870	1847990	If I can get this right, you're going to push this up as high as you can.
1848790	1851430	And if I can show you this, there it is.
1851950	1858170	My thumb and my index finger are going to clip this and pull.
1858530	1863830	Once it's pulled, the pin is popped and you can just practice letting it fall back out
1864750	1866510	and pulling it off.
1866690	1872090	Now, I'm going to move in place so you guys can see this a little better, okay?
1877340	1881140	So, I apologize, I'm going to go out of frame so you can kind of see this.
1881140	1885740	But this kind of watch, you're going to use your thumb on this part here,
1885740	1896120	where your thumb is going to push, like so, to get it out of that there, okay?
1896620	1901500	And if I get this part here, you're going to clip it with this part of your hand
1902180	1904100	to get the pin to pop out.
1904660	1912000	Push this over just to the side to open this up and then use this to kick that part out.
1912780	1914480	And you're good to go.
1914500	1918780	You can practice this on yourself as many times as you want until you get bored of it
1918780	1921180	and then you can start again the next day.
1923020	1928880	It is not the most advanced technique, but like I said, it is a starting point.
1928880	1934820	There are far, I think personally, there are far better techniques, but they are more advanced.
1935080	1938580	And this one, you don't have to set anything up.
1938640	1945740	You can just practice again and again on your wrist, put it back on, so forth and so forth.
1945840	1950060	The same goes for the other technique that is taught on watches.
1950160	1951460	You can learn to do that.
1951460	1959400	You just switch the band on the watch itself, where it would switch, so this is backwards.
1959700	1965900	And then I can practice doing this on my wrist this way, as opposed to this way.
1966480	1971560	Now, all the techniques I'm going to be wanting to show you guys right now,
1971560	1975280	if you have questions, go to the Discord.
1975280	1978020	I'll be happy to answer all those questions.
1978020	1981660	I so wish I could see you guys in person.
1981660	1984340	I'm really happy that you guys enjoyed everything.
1986000	1993320	Oh, and if you don't mind, just to help us with next year's surprises,
1994140	2002900	I have a, I believe we have a link for this, but there's a link for a Pickpocket shirt at TeePublic.
2002980	2005440	Just look up Pickpocket, it's Thieves Den.
2005440	2008820	I think there'll be a link that we'll share with you nice folks.
2009220	2015120	But please, if you want to help support this so we can do some really cool stuff next year,
2015120	2015860	go buy a t-shirt.
2015860	2020280	And if I see a t-shirt, I'll be your best friend.
2021120	2024780	So, if we are all good, I will see you guys in the Discord.
2024780	2029520	I hope you enjoyed, and I will look forward to your questions.
2029660	2030840	You guys have a great evening.
