How pickpockets work



Here's a short extract from Adam Green’s recent profile of Robbins:
'He is probably best known for an encounter with Jimmy Carter’s Secret Service detail in 2001. While Carter was at dinner, Robbins struck up a conversation with several of his Secret Service men. Within a few minutes, he had emptied the agents’ pockets of pretty much everything but their guns. Robbins brandished a copy of Carter’s itinerary, and when an agent snatched it back he said, “You don’t have the authorization to see that!” When the agent felt for his badge, Robbins produced it and handed it back. Then he turned to the head of the detail and handed him his watch, his badge, and the keys to the Carter motorcade.'

Piff The Magic Dragon


Piff The Magic Dragon didn't fool Penn and Teller but entertained me.

A magic trick that I just don't get

Martin and Paul Daniels on Penn & Teller. I know when the switch must have happened but how they get on and off the stage, I have no idea...
