Sure this is some basic stuff, but this is for the beginers...
Being a cannon (solo pickpcoket) can be rough. It’s hard sometimes to be able to
distract and lift by yourself. That is why a team, or at least a partener is a good
idea because together you can get at wallets a solo pickpocket would have to elt
go.
But be sure you can trust your team, after all this isn’t a game...not to mention
you have to be sure they aren’t going to take the money or squeal Find someone
you know who might enjoy the money and has a basic knowlege of theft...then get
to work. If at all possible have a female member of your team.
The team can be as big as you like because there are jobs for everyone. The
importan job is the LIFT, the actual pickpocket, and the second is the BUMP.
The "bump" is the memeber of the team that stalls the mark, bumping into them
and distracting them long enough for the pickpocket to make the lift. In reality
this is all you need.
But sometimes dous have a hard time, which is why they need a SCOUT and a
PASS OFF. The scout finds the mark, usually sitting on a beanch or standing in
line and then alerts the others, while the pass off takes the wallet from the lift so
that the lift can’t be taken in if questioned.
There can be more than one bump ot scout, and one person can have more than
one job. Its all how you want to set it up...just be sure to practise evrything out
before you do it.
In fact it is esier to practise when you are a team...work together with each other
until you can dip and lift with the pros. You might want to do this in a basement
or at a place where no is going to pay much attention to what you are doing.
And the one thing you must remember is that distraction is team pickpocketing’s
main weapon. That is why you have to learn the "sandwhich", the move where the
team closes in on the mark and puts them between them so that the bump and lift
can do their stuff.
