The Least Effective Way To Pickpocket Somebody Is With Chopsticks

How good are you with chopsticks? Probably good enough to pick up sushi but probably not even close to Miyagi-ing a fly, right? Well check this out, this guy managed to pickpocket a phone with chopsticks.

Just watch the video, the grimy old guy — who for some reason had a pair of chopsticks on the ready — stakes out a young guy as his prey and starts picking the guy’s pocket with chopsticks. It’s amazing! The poor victim doesn’t even know what’s happening, until it’s gone. The pickpocketer fumbles the phone at the last second but think about the finger dexterity, the joint strength, the will… he’s just took pickpocketing to a level I’m not even sure should exist.
