"I think that's kind of my forte is that I tell people beforehand that I'm going to steal from them. ..." — Apollo Robbins

I can analyze how I do things, but the actual doing it - when the synapses just start firing - I can't explain.

Think about it this way - if you have five senses, and they're all feeding into one place, kind of like a bottleneck, then now your mind has to make decisions of what is important and what is going to be above the radar and what's going to be below the radar.

In the same way that a film director would use a film lens to blur out a certain item or use a spotlight, I use certain movements that draw the eye instinctually.

Many times, illusions or magic sets are designed as an exposition for the audience to watch, but the the style I do with the pickpocketing is directly interactive.
