Pickpockets Page #2

---

The first thing you need to learn is that

clock time is not pickpocket time.

We're like magicians that way.

Right?

For magic to work you need two things:

a magician and a spectator.

A victim and a victimizer.

It's important to learn to make the victim

look where you want him to look.

And even more important,

to control their minds.

The human mind can only focus

on one thing at a time.

We never see the totality.

We see things in pieces.

Words distract the mind...

and the body distracts the eyes.

When you go steal a wallet, always use

these two fingers as pinchers.

These are your working fingers.

These two, together.

Got it?

Come here, Antsy.

Ready, Champ?

Give it a try.

Take it easy on the dummy.

He never did anything to you.

Keep practicing till you can get

the wallets without triggering the bells.

The guy's a magician!

He's got the world's fastest hands!

He could've left me standing there

naked without me knowing it.

Chucho is just some pickpocket myth.

Why?

Because he's Spanish.

So?

That stuff about being

the world's best pickpocket...

Well, he is.

Even if he was, he wouldn't be hiding in

Colombia from people wanting to kill him.

-Hi.

-Hi.

-Got any Latin Music?

-Over there in the middle.

Thanks.

Take a look.

For me.

You heard of him? The Father of Scratch.

What?

Andrs Landero.

Now that's old school, old school cumbia.

We used to play that stuff

in my dad's band.

Come on, begging for coins on the street

isn't making music.

Besides... cumbia is what led

to that f***ing reggaeton.

-What do you got against reggaeton?

-Yeah.

Reggaeton is rap too.

The thing is, my friend here doesn't like

anything from Latin America.

They told him that rap was from up there,

in America.

But what he doesn't know is

that rap isn't American.

It came from our African slave brothers

who shouted and played drums!

That's rap!

So... did you make that deer yourself?

Yes.

Have you seen them around?

Yes.

All over the place.

It's really beautiful.

Thanks.

Are you guys into graffiti too?

Well, we're--

No, we're dancers.

No, come on, look at this.

-Pretty good, right?

-Cool.

Can you paint me one?

-Really?

-Go ahead.

Okay then.

I bet you don't even know

there are deer in Bogot.

-Did you know that?

-I had no idea.

Up in the mountains,

taking care of the highlands.

That's why I paint them...

for clueless people like you

who have no idea they exist,

and they won't disappear altogether.

Cool.

So where do you hang out?

At the junkyard in Las Cruces.

Ready?

Let me see.

Nice!

Thanks, but I'm hers.

Oh, yeah?

Okay, see ya.

-Bye.

-Later.

-See you later!

-Bye.

Are you ready?

I have a good idea.
