Awesome magician! Dom did an event for our work xmas party. He went round the table doing a whole host of magic tricks. Highly recommend!

Dominic provided a a captivating, yet educational seminar on pickpocketing and pickpocketing prevention. Extremely professional, and entertaining too. Will most certainly be hiring him for future events. Also stayed well beyond the time required for this event - free of charge.

There appears to be little information on the structure of Dom's anti-pickpocketing seminars on his website, but for those who are curious, he was very willing and flexible to accommodate his seminar according to our specifications. The seminar was structured as follows:

Section 1 -

• Speaker's background/experience and the difference between pickpocketing for entertainment and actual theft

• Theft talk/Pickpocketing in London

• Likely places people can be pickpocketed

• Personal stories from the speaker of people they know who got pickpocketed, and how they avoided being pickpocketed using these techniques.

• Early prevention, and additional equipment suggestions for personal equipment safely (special phone cases/lanyards, etc).

• What to do if you are the victim of pickpocketing.

• Opportunity for people to share their own personal experiences, and how to avoid being in these scenarios in the future



Section 2  - Pickpocketing demonstrations


This covered the most common/likely pickpocketing scenarios, plus a couple of fun ones if time permits (e.g. a tie steal). Each demonstration was then followed by a detailed explanation of the techniques used, further followed by a discussion on how to stop/prevent being pickpocketed in these scenarios. The audience was then allowed to break off into groups and practice the moves/re-enact the situations on eachother, before regrouping for the next demonstration/technique. The techniques/situations taught included the following:

• Front pocket steal of phone and wallet (two variations)

• Back pocket steal of phone/wallet

• Pocket steals with blazer (outside and inside pockets)

• Seated phone/wallet steal to simulate when someone approaches you with a distraction question while you are seated in a public place, such as a cafe. 

• Tie steal 

• Watch steal

Section 3 - Audience Q&A + Wrapping up/final words

Overall a great experience. Lifelong practical skills learned from a friendly professional. Will definitely hire next Winter. More...
