I would like to have a review of Tom Burgoon's Power Pickpocket if anyone has this. This is suppose to be a great practical pickpocketing method. I believe that Tom Burgoon may have sold the rights to this trick to Goshman because Goshman is now selling the effect and it is now called Power Pickpocket Burgoon & Goshman. Thank you.

Like Bonnie Raitt said, "I miss Little Feat more than I miss being 8 years old." Thanks for the concerts + recordings, Lowell, Richie, and Paul!

I saw Tom demonstrate this this past weekend at a magic convention. I didn't buy it as it doesn't really fit my performance style, but it is a good gag.
Be aware that this is not an actual pickpocketing method. Its a gimmick that allows you to make it look to the audience as if you are picking a spectator's pocket when they are on stage with you. If presented in the right way, I've no doubt that this would be hugely funny. |

You have to this effect mostly on the stage due to gimmick involve.

I've done this table hopping for a long time. I agree the gimmick looks fishy, but no one ever notices.
I don't use it any more - I simply use a real wallet which can then be used for other effects as well. |

This is Goshman so you know what the gimmick is made of. Hint, it starts with the letter S. I actually use this a lot. Great on stage or at least 15 feet away. Horrible close up. Impossible close up. A buy at 15.00 for the illusion of power pickpocketing.
