Pickpocket Team
This Pickpocket Team combines Rob, Matt, James and Richard; four of the fastest undercover pickpockets in the country, performing the ancient and very funny art of pickpocketing!
Rob, founder of the pickpocket team, is a contemporary entertainer and member of The Magic Circle. He specialises in providing astonishing interactive close up magic and table magic for events across the UK. Rob is one of the country's most highly rated professional close up magicians and has amazed guests at in excess of 2200 events nationwide.
Matt’s pickpocketing skills are unique: he has possibly the fastest watch-steal on the planet, and can even take someone’s tie off and put it on himself without them knowing. Matt will surprise your guests with his deft pickpocketing techniques, and he’s guaranteed to get your guests laughing as he does it. In fact Matt often uses the moment people laugh to remove items from them. He also uses his skills as a close up magician to distract people’s attention from their belongings, but can also pickpocket whilst disguised as a security guard, as a character, as a waiter or even the MC.
James was awarded The Magic Circle close-up magician of the year in 2006 and also came second in the 2006 International Magic Convention Close-Up competition. His style of magic is a cross between close-up magic and pickpocketing, all presented in a humorous manner. His sleight of hand magic, pickpocketing and hypnotic suggestion have made him one of the most sought after magical entertainers in the UK.
Richard became a full time Professional Magician in his early twenties. He has been booked to perform for many different national companies and celebrities including Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear fame and Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton. In 2008 after being nominated by two highly regarded existing members, Richard successfully passed the examination criteria and was offered full membership of the world famous Magic Circle in London.
