Fake Pocket is a simple routine, that a good performer can make great. I'm very happy to know it.
I am, however, very unhappy with the haphazard production of the video.
It looks
like Gregory Wilson didn't even bother to plan the Studio Performance portion of the video before
recording it. His instruction is often distracted and contradictory. For example, in one
demonstration, he says to do steps in one order, then in the next, he completely reverses it. He
tells you specifically not to do something, and then proceeds to do it.
I ended up editing
out a *full 1/3* of the Studio Performance, so I could learn the routine consistently, and without
distraction.
In my opinion, it is very poor form to ask people to pay for your product, and
then deliver something that's low quality.

I really like this routine. I like it so much that I technically bought it twice. Greg also taught
this in his "At The Table" Lecture. I bought this download to see if there were any touches on the
routine that he didn't include previously. There was one touch in particular that made it worth the
money. I am disappointed about the lack of promised "LIVE UNCUT PERFORMANCES". The video is 17
minutes long and there is only one in studio performance to study. Other than that bit of false
advertising, highly recommended.

The method was great and so was the trick (also you get a lot more than he shows on the camera :)
But one of the sleights wasn't explained if you watch the video 2 or 3 times, you'll get it though.
Overall a great trick

I just purchased the download and watched it. It looks incredibly easy to do, and it is
well-taught. No wasted fancy editing or flashy scene cuts...just nuts and bolts teaching. I work
in nightclubs, comedy clubs and dinner theaters. I am looking forward to adding this to my show!

You will need a bit of practice but it will quickly become a second nature for you. It is maybe a
little to much expensive also for what it is. But still you get great reactions.

not that good, and he didn't teach some important details

Great Video. A masterclass in misdirection picking pockets. But it really is only ataster for the
full course in picking pockets by Greg, whenever he choses to do it. Count me in when it is
released.

The pros: you learn a lot more than just taking the guy's credit card out of his wallet.
The cons: you have to be completely comfortable with being ALL OVER someone before and during
the routine.

We all know that Greg Wilson is one of, if not the best con artist/magicians on the the planet.
This contains information that is worth many times the price of the down load. Greg Wilson has
become my go to magician when it comes to creativity and quality. I have several of Greg's effects
and I like all of them. I never thought I would ever purposely buy a pick pocket routine down-load
but this makes it doable for any level of magi. This is really good! So, get a friend, go over a few
practice runs then go out and have some fun!

Superb teaching as always from Greg , the routine is fast paced and. If performed at a fast Jakie
pace would be hilarious , on stage or a small group setting :)
