Hello
I have had a request from a watch company to put watches on clients wrists in a pickpocket fashion during their product launch. I am not sure whether this is even possible without resorting to a gimmicked(magnet) strap. Does anyone know if this is something that can be done or whether there is any work on this published? |

I've never done it, but Jacques Le Sueur teaches a method for doing so in the PDF that comes with his WATCH video.

The magnet strap idea... sounds very interesting.
I have been picking up old watches/necklaces at yard sales and second hand store 25 cent bins. After watching a Coats and Byrd dvd on pickpocketing.. I have wanted to build a training dummy. Unfortunately... LOL I have 7 daughters... so anytime daddy brings home anything remotely pretty... it gets confinscated by the girls. |

I think that there was an effect on the market years ago that your watch and a spectators traded places. I don't recall the name but I do recall that the performers watch ended on the spectators wrist.

Years ago I was tipped to a great method for this. I am not sure who originated the idea. It does involve a gimmick but requires less precision to handle than a magnet strap. I don't really follow this area of the forum but I've not seen it published in the literature. TheTrickman feel free to PM me if you don't find another suitable method.

There's a trick from Sébastien mossiere, with a special watch.

There is a guy named Gene Turner who does it. Part of his act he switches one person's watch for another on their wrists.
I don't think he would be too forth coming about how to do it though. Might get some ideas from him though |
