My favorite watch steal is Mac King's. I love it. It starts out from the stage, "Anyone know what time it is? I think my show is running a little long."

I have never seen the trick fail. And, if it did he would just cut out that portion of the show and nobody would ever know the difference. Oh, and Mac makes it look so easy.

So, I can say to 100% you don't know anything about pickpocketing
I like my King but what he does has nothing to do with pickpocketing.
I'll not explain why because I think it's better if you keep the magic alive.

Looks like you did not fully understand my post. At no point did I mention the word pickpocketing. I know exactly how Mac King's watch steal works. It plays BIG! That was my point. Perhaps you missed the Nuance in my statement "and Mac makes it look so easy". There is also a reason for asking at the start, "Does anyone know what time it is?". Please note that in this post, I do not question your knowledge on the subject in any way. Nor did I claim any knowledge of "The Art" in my prior post. Happy New Year!
