Lately I have started to be more into magic pickpocketing.

But where can i get dvd or books to learn this?

and a website there you can learn from?

Chappy Brazil.

Chappy Brazil's Watch Steal DVD: Chappy Brazil
The Legacy DVD: Mark Raffles
On the Spot: Gregory Wilson
Professional Stage Pickpocket: Ricki Dunn
Ravel's Theatrical Pickpocketing: Paul Butler

These are the resources I own and recommend. I learned a lot from them. I'm still not quite comfortable doing the more daring steals such as belts and neckties, but I've been able to lift wrist watches and wallets pretty easily using the techniques shared within the sources above.

I would strongly recommend AGAINST any Nicholad Byrd and James Coats product on the subject. Although they've received semi-positive reviews for their pickpocketing DVDs, I just feel they're careless performers with messy technique. Their methods, in my opinion, are poorly orchestrated and unmotivated. Byrd and Coats manhandle their spectators without any sense of direction and use contrived misdirection to clumsily lift desired items. I don't think their DVDs on the subject do the art of pickpocketing any justice.

watch other

I learnd allot from watching other pickpockets so I sugest that.

in my opinion technique isn't all that inportant (watch steals not included) if you do it under the guides of a difrent trick that allaws you to touch them, you can just do your steal without worry.

Just wondering if the "clumsy" method and presentation that you are talking about is the method Bob Arno uses?

Try Mastering the Art of Pickpocketing. Here's a review. It's pretty old but it's still very good to learn from.
