Great routine, and well taught as usual. It's one of those routines that just "fits" Wilson's personality, though - not sure if I'll ever use it, but it will be fun to play with. He gives plenty of tips on how to cover yourself, and advocates that you just do the first phase until you gain confidence to add more, as he did originally. Lots of tips on misdirection and psychology when invading someone's personal space, all of which was really interesting. And watching Wilson actually do it on the street repeatedly, which he does at the beginning of the video, adjusting the routine depending on circumstance, has got to be instructional for anyone who's actually planning on trying this. He even has one run-through where you can see him going for a watch steal that just isn't happening, so he switches gears and does something else without missing a beat.

Is there a video anywhere of a wholé performance anywhere ? I'd like to establish list if it's worth the time to learn etc. To me it depends on how much he has to handle their wallet in the early phases. I am assuming he does to get the cards out . If he does actually pickpocket it and return it , that's a hell of a skill. Just want to see the routine , not expose.

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 seems like you don't care.

BRILLIANT!

Most of us know how brilliant Gregory is... he's a true master in what he does and he is undoubtedly the best in it too. If there is only one thing you should learn to become a magician and great entertainer then only buy his Off the Cuff DVD-set. Even if you would never perform any of the amazing effects you still will learn one of the most important skills an entertainer needs to possess... Learn from the best, and learn how to interact with people from a master! Buy Off the Cuff and never buy anything else and you will be an amazing entertainer... everywhere you go, for the rest of your life!

That said, Fake Pocket is nothing less and if you have the guts to try it out (and you really must) you will have a real killer demonstration. Again learn from the master! This is it! I love the video, I love the teaching, in a way only the best of the best can do. This is so good, I totally disagree with the post above... this is pure gold and priced way too cheap.

Again...

PURE GOLD!!! Smile
Presentation is everything!

[EDIT] In my previous post I wrote Off the Cuff but I actually meant the On the Spot DVD set Smile
