I found this book disappointing as it only really focuses on 'creating a diversion' which is something that I would have most certainly have done anyway. It gives you various examples of this, but again, I don't think it's that difficult to come up with scenarios of your own.
Other than that there is nothing to learn. I was expecting actual techniques for sleight of hand, (positioning of your fingers etc) in order for the 'victim' not to feel anything whilst you happily go about pick pocketing them. Unfortunately this was not covered.
So, for me, I found that the book told me nothing that I didn't already know.
It was certainly a chancer that published the book though, so hats off to him for that. It was daylight robbery.

I found this book extremely helpful! It helped me with my pickpocketing skills very well. I managed to pick over £500 in one day thanks to this book, thanks!

When I first picked this book up I was ready to be disappointed. I mean it's only 62 pages, black and white, large print and, in parts, seems to be written by someone whose first language isn't English.
My mood changed once I had read the book though. It is interesting and informative. I'm no Magician, but I can see that I would be a good first text for a Teenage practicer.

An introduction at best, a shoddy manuel at worst
Well I'm adding my voice to this review process, though to be frank the review written by K. Garner pretty much summed up a lot of the faults with this book. Read more

Few books do
The book is not a training manual: it doesn't purport to pick pockets for you. I learnt many years ago that few 'how I did it' type books really show one how to be as successful... Read more
