Pickpocketing

[M_dalgashon]

Can you recommend a good book or, preferably, a DVD about pickpocketing skills and the use of pickpocketing in magic?
Thanks

Mastering the Art of Pickpocketing by James Coats and Nicolas Byrd is a decent DVD. Here's a review here: http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=6123.

If you're willing to spend the money The encyclopedia of Pickpocketing by James Coats and Nicolas Byrd I heard is pretty good too. It's a whole DVD set and there is a lot more material. The DVD's are old but there still pretty good.

How do you practice pickpocketing without getting arrested, or punched when you are caught?
