I love the "Who's phone did I take" at the end. Such a funny way to end a set if he was doing this for a crowd. He'd have people that didn't even come up to the stage checking to make sure their phone wasn't stollen.
This man turned a joke into a series with hope, despair, loss and hype. He deserves every bit of recognition he has and even beyond that
Can we acknowledge that while he is making the steal he’s also either doing a trick or having a completely unrelated conversation. Insane i absolutely loved this
Many fail to understand that this type of sleight of hand mastery takes YEARS to perfection in such a manner. I don't ususally enjoy when magicians expose their tricks but in this case its useful and he is a genius
I think the thing I love most about this video is that while he looks great pulling one over on all the unsuspecting guests, we know the actual crew have no excuse. Presumably they're all on high alert, both excited to have him in studio, but also abundantly aware of exactly what's he's capable of, yet he still manages to get them too. Guy's a rare talent.
My favorite part is he's so good at redirection that I knew he was pickpocketing and I didn't even realize he was stealing more than just his intended target. Through the whole tie steal I didn't notice ANYTHING else
At 14:05 where he says “You’ve gotten this far in the video…” I expected him to say “which means I have your wallet and your phone”
8:42 love how he says "watch" as he takes it. This guy is incredibly smooth not only in actions but with how quick he can spin up a web of words to distract
He's so charismatic that I'd probably just give him my phone if he asked
this guy is the first pickpocket performer that isn't moving around so frantically like Apollo or Bob Arno (no hate). at least in the first few stages where that isn't necessary at all
That last steal was incredible in every way. Watching the way that magician handled that suited man was not only hilarious, but movie quality sleek, suave, and mesmerizing. Absolutely flawless. I think I'm in love with this guy
The fact that the "victims" didn't know what was actually going on makes this so much more entertaining! Thank you for another banger Wired <3
This guy has min-maxxed the con-artist build. Charismatic, quick-thinking, knows how to pickpocket, good at acting and social manipulation, the list goes on! He's the person that criminal masterminds planning a heist are referring to when they say "I know a guy".
This guy, the lockpicking lawyer & that insane geoguessr dude should form a group.
Usually when a magician/performer reveals their trick it kinda ruins it because it's so simple, but here this only makes me appreciate it even more. There really isnt any secret to it, the way he does it is as impressive as the way he performs it
One dude tried to do level 7 on me on the street — honestly he almost succeeded, I noticed the movement of my phone, held on to it and the thief retreated promptly. It was done so smoothly it took me a minute to process what was going on after he was gone.
This guy was so good, he actually had me feeling my own pocket to make sure he didn’t somehow pull a fast one on me
the way he improvises a relevant script each time is the real mind blowing thing to me as someone who can hardly hold a conversation with a stranger 😭
I was once pickpocketed in Italy wearing skinny jeans. The guy stole my iPhone, which was in my front pants pocket. I didn’t realize it until one minute after it happened and I was able to confront the guy, rolled a nat 20 charisma and he gave me the phone back and even taught me how to do it. Cool guy, if it weren’t the fact he’s a filthy thief.
