Its crazy the lengths I go thru to pull something off...
about five days ago, an elder magi gave me an idea about, you know, having an enveloped pre-post-marked (?) mailed to you...for future card work or otherwise...so I took an envelope, had a friend write someone's name that we wanted to perform the stunt on-on the envelope, and mail it...didnt seal it, just placed a small piece of scotch tape over the flap, so it may be glued later...
so I received the envelope the next afternoon, stamped and all...was gonna do a card transportation...but then another opportunity surfaced...

Ive been studying a small bit on pickpocketing...the neccessary distractions and all...so, a Goddess who was staying with me was my chosen victim...

was giving me a hug...I proceeded to remove her fancy gold necklace from her person..and later, I successfully removed her fancy gold braclet with the same distractions...SHE NEVER NOTICED..NOT EVEN HOURS LATER!!! hard to believe, I know..

that was when I placed them in the signed, sealed delivered, envelope...glueing it down this time...put it in the mailbox...
asked her(even later still) to check my mail, cause I was kinda busy....
she something like, "thats crazy, who would send me a letter here..no one knows where I am!." I shrugged it off, and said, "open and see.."
She was floored!!! feeling her neck, and her wrist...saying,"I just put these on THIS MORNING!" I SAID, "You couldn't have, look at the post-date!"
She then said that she feels "hypnotized" and she is still absolutely baffled!

come on my magi...be not lazy! try this out...its clearly worth the work...she just e-mailed me this morning begging me for the logic, if any! I told her to say "HRIM BLING KALA HEEEM" 108 times, and maybe, just maybe she'll gain the "Powers!"

Love to all the TRICKSTERS.....

Another great effect from babakali Excellent!

That was just the perfect opportunity, combined with great thinking and obviously a very good knowledge.

I can see why she would be completely amazed. You just wouldnt be able to get your head around that.

Keep them coming!

Thanx DYL...did you get my PM?

Wonderful!

Over here we might want to have FedEx or similar deliver the thing.

That moment when you said she was "hypnotized" is exactly the feeling of magic. It is very likely she was imagining all the times she had touched those jewelry and also looking at the envelpe and stamps, while also knowing that both things can't be true, yet there they are.

Bravo!

Yes thanks, much appreciated.

Oh Baba you Rock!

Gotta love that brute force magic! When it works, you are a god!

Thanx and praises Clifford the Red! I just cant help but share my daily musings!
Some people burn me for doing it, but if I spark and idea for others, that's the magic also for me! Peace...

Holy Crap! That's totally amazing! I would love to pull something like this off, but I don't think I have the ba##s to do it.

My Magi Friend babakali,

Where dido you learn pickpocketing? Chappy Brazil? Byrd and Coats?

Best,

Alfredo

Babakali

Brother of mine I need to touch ground with you. You seem to get these or create these incredible moments. Much luck in all you do..

Thanx Phil! of course you got the ba##ls!!! just check!LOL...when we remember just how "asleep" people already are, we realize that the notion of hypnosis, time/space manipulation is not that far away after all...most people, with all due respect, walk about in a daze...so our job is often halfway done!!...people often say to me that I must be using some sort of hypnosis to get them...their right, I use their already, long-ago induced hypnosis!! In short, many are thinking of yesterday, tommorrow..someday..never are they to be found fully aware, in the moment....Ill e-mail ya soon! I love the effect you sent!!

And Agguilar...I have just skimmed the surface of pickpocketing...I have so far learned just enough to get the basics done...I just build off of the fact that we must use lots o' distractions to get them away from their person...their sleeping, I tell ya!

Paisa...thanx a lot bro...yeah lets get together Pm style and share thoughts if you like...I definitely love to take advantage of any opportunity I can...everyday, I find myself looking for ways to astound...this was one of the best opportunities thus far in my days in magic...but this has given me inspirations to produce other equally stunning effects...just remember the roots of the Tree, the old, original stuff, and surely the branches will blossom...

One Love....

I just saw this thread this morning and my stomach kind of knotted because I could imagine the astonishment she would have felt...... That is in my opinion the difference between trickery and miracle work. I have got to learn pickpocketing and watch stealing. Whatever effort would be expended for the required skill to acomplish those tricks would be worth it for one moment of that magic. Now, Where to go?

Babakali
IM about to Pm you on your pickpocket origin.

Ive been getting tons of PM's regarding my sources...
let it suffice to say that I was taught the VERY basics of distractions by my elder magi, I often speak of...
I've been successful in stealing watches, necklaces, bracelets, and cell phones...
I have limited training, but experience is the best teacher...
ah, like I said, I just took advantage of a perfect situation, as I always try to...it made it easier that she fancies me, so I was able to be "all up in her space,"! A stranger, however, now that I gotta work on!!
anyhow, my magi, thanx for your kind words, and check here for a good set of Pickpocketing dvds... I briefly looked at one of them with the elder, and from what I seen, I recomend them!!

type in "Encyclopedia of pickpocketing."

peace and love!

One more thing...
just give the mail-the-envelope-to-yourself thing a try...use cards or whathaveyou!! that will getcha warmed up for the opptune time!!

Greetings Baba!

The envelope with the Goddess's jewelry in it is BRILLIANT, and I agree with foreverriel, I got shivers reading your description thinking about how she would've felt. Absolutely wonderful!

You are very inspirational! I have a friend who is forever misplacing her cell phone and I'm thinking that taking advantage of that, putting it in a small box that had been mailed to my house with her name on it, leaving the box on my kitchen table and then (when she notices that her phone is missing) suggesting that she call her phone to see if it fell behind the couch cushions or something. Yessssss.... Bwahahahahaha!!! I can imagine her reaction when she discovers the box playing "Fur Elise". Oh yes indeed!!

I'll let you know how it goes! Thank you so much for the cool inspiration. I bow to your amazing mind, magi. (bowing)

Wendy

Give thanx and Praises Goddess! I look forward to your Presence on this forum...your words already inspire me higher!

Your a genius babakali!!!! keep it up!!!!
