Pickpockets are a clever bunch. It takes a lot of wits and talent to get to a person's belongings without him ever finding out. More so, they get to make as much as any armed robber would without facing as grave a danger. Are you interested in taking on the same career? Have you ever wondered what it takes to start your very own pickpocketing business?
-----------------------------------------
1.Gather Accomplices
To start with, you must look for people who are willing to work with you. How about your kinsmen? Or your own children perhaps? What better way to find employment in these times of economic crises. And this may be the only way children can earn as much as any hardworking adult. Nothing beats a family-operated business.
2.Learn to Blend with the Background
A good criminal doesn't have to look the part, especially if you are a pickpocket. Your primary goal is to blend with the background, to disappear into the crowd. This way, you don't have to risk anybody suspecting you. Your goal is to keep their attention on something else, so that you don't have to deal with any confrontation.
Here, you can be as creative as possible. You can employ a woman who will act pregnant and you could be the innocent husband. Or you can bring along a child to create a harmless fa%u2021ade. You can even dress up as a tourist. Tourists are every pickpocket's favorite target.
3.Exercise Your Important Weapon
You had better practice your one important weapon-your hand, your fingers to be exact. Make sure that you give them the exercise that they need. So go ahead and get down with your favorite game of thumb wrestling, remote control speed channel surfing and speed texting. It's time to get your talents working for your finances.
4.Master the Art of Distraction
When trying to pick valuables, you want to be able to do it without the victim ever finding out. For this, pickpockets use a very useful technique-distraction. People are hardwired to focus their attention on a specific thing. By throwing their attention on something other than their valuables, you get the chance you need to pick successfully, that is, without the victims ever knowing what they are up against....
