Byrd and Coats have a lot of material out there about watch stealing. Just google "byrd coats watch stealing" and you'll be away. I recommend them as good teachers although I only have their Mastering The Art of Pickpocketing DVD, which only touches on watch stealing briefly.

Yey and most people seem to be drunk they perform to...and trust me its alot easier to steal a drunks watch than a sober person.

Watch stealing uses a form of body language. I'm not going to delve into it cos of exposure but by instilling a feeling of normality over certain body actions you set the person up to not notice.

You can be taught the moves in five minutes flat, but whether or not you have the flair to carry it off is a different matter
