Apollo Robbins - Great pickpocketing routine

How did you end up being a pickpocket for all things? Well, it's a little bit in the family. I used to be a magician, but I found pickpocketing was more profitable. So just in case of a recession, I still have a job. It's a good way to pay the rent. It is, it is. Did you ever used to do it for, well, maybe you don't want to say, but... Oh, I wouldn't say it on film or anything like that, no, not at all. But my brothers did, actually. Your brothers did? Yeah, well, they're technically my half-brothers. They're on my mother's side. They had a different father. They did a couple things along pickpocketing, grifting, type of criminal... Oh, really? They do scams as well? Mm-hmm. Wow. Things like that. But it was a little bit more crass. It was cutting the bottom of a pocket, taking the wallet out, dipping it out of the bottom of a purse, those type of things. Yeah? Wow. But my dad was a minister, so I became a pickpocket that gives stuff back. I have a moral way to approach it. It's also part of my parole. I have to give it back. Excuse me. Just a little bit. Sure. Nice. Not bad. A little bit of a squeeze. I'll let you know that belongs to me, actually. Should be... It's not a bad trick. Cool. Oh, sure. It's a good trick, isn't it? Cool. I have a game for you, Eileen. It's a little bit of money, just like in the casinos. Yeah. Except this one has a good return on your investment. Squeeze it really tight. See, if I steal it from you, and I give it back, it's something of mine, so it belongs to me. You don't have to worry about losing it. Would you be impressed if I could take it out of your hand Yeah, very. Yes, really? Yeah, hugely. Open your hand. Thank you very much. We'll do that slow. If you would, as you're doing this, hold onto my wrist, but squeeze, squeeze tight. Watch it go. Don't watch the other hand, because if you do, it's going to look like it goes away. Did you see it go? See, while you're watching the hand, Eileen, it's actually sitting on your shoulder. Look on your shoulder. Take it off there. That is so good. No, we should do it again. Hold your hand high. Watch the coin close. You can see it. Go straight back to your shoulder again. We're going to keep doing it until she catches it. You'll catch it, I'm sure. Put it in your hand. Wrap your fingers around it. Squeeze it tight. You got it? Don't pull my finger. That's a different trick. I've seen that one before. It's back on your shoulder. The other shoulder. Not yet. It's going to be. No, it's... All right, just a second. Open up your hand all the way. Is it still there? It's silver, 1964. You know, she's got too tight of a grip when it comes to money. We're going to have to use their hands if that's okay. Can I use your hand like this? Just hold it out flat. This is going to be like a team effort. If you would, just close your hand very tightly, put your other hand on top, just like this. Watch it close. Put your hand right here. Now, come in closer. You can see this. You'll like the piece. It goes right through the back of the hand. Not here. Not here. Open your hand. It's back on the shoulder. That's funny. It's here. See? It appears in the air. Falls right back in the hand. Did you see it go? We'll send it back up. It was a little bird flying by. Watch it go. Straight back up. Or if I did it real slow, you would see it go. here ladies right now it's touching your bare skin somewhere on your body it's underneath the face of your watch we'll do that again if you close your hand tight we'll do that again watch back under the watch Oh not under your watch under her watch but your watch is over here with her watch What the best Sorry about that ladies Oh my God
