I came to learn to ask directions cuz I'm afraid. Instead I was taught how to pickpocket While asking directions. 2 birds 1 stone. This is the best tutorial ever!

@mervincabilan1519 6 лет назад

I figured it out, only the map part, not the stealing part.

Watching this video maybe easy for us to notice those actions. But if you were the one being asked for directions, everything would be different.

@jaluepo 10 лет назад

I was busy listening to direction, I did not notice them stealing

@angelo.formolonetto 2 года назад

Great video. I apply it with my students when I teach "asking and giving directions". Every time they realize the guy was being pickpocketed they react like: OMG! hahahah

@beturu 9 месяцев назад

same here hahaha

@HpmelOne2 4 года назад

Awesome video. I was actually distracted by the older gentlemen taking that guy's phone out of his back pocket rather than listening to the directions and quickly cottoned on to what the video was about. That being said, I have definitely been fooled by these kinds of perception tests in the past. It demonstrates how our attention, when focused on a particular task, becomes oblivious to other events.

@philinator71 8 лет назад

I did think it was weird that they took a picture after. What this tell me: Don't trust people.

@dickurkel6910 6 лет назад

philinator71 They put the picture on their 'scammed people' wall.

@churchie-yt1kc 3 года назад

Dont steal/cheat rather.

@shansiddiqui4741 6 лет назад

That was really good. Because they told us to pay attention to the map and listen to directions we diverted focus away from what was going on

@viewer.123 Год назад

The issue was the guy was clearly an actor from our perspective but of course in reality things would be different

@AboShamoosa 10 лет назад

@Arun_hog 4 года назад

That guy even did not focus on the camera also while giving directions...really such a nice guy

@DanRichter 6 лет назад

It's one thing not to notice getting pickpocketed... but it's really something to not notice the cinema camera circling around you while they do it.

@Mobliz 10 лет назад

These pickpockets destroy trusts of unsuspecting people who really wants to help.Beware but not all people are the same.

@harrytashi5108 6 лет назад

It’s very obvious they are stealing , the real question should be,did u get the direction right?

@Kendrahf 10 лет назад

NG, we aren't stupid. I'm sure almost everyone saw them pick pocket that guy. It was shoved in our face.

@sailorcandy6633 6 лет назад

Kim Jong Un not is not really being stupid. It's not being aware of your surroundings plus I didn't notice yet I'm top of my class

@N0616JCProductions 10 лет назад

Well, I don't know what to say after watching that. I am glad that I have yet to be pick-pocketed (and God forbid it happens to anyone after my comment). I always put my phone in the front pocket and keep most the of the valuable as close to my birthday suit as possible. Also, I always get myself into a high alert state when I am walking in public and when ever there are more people around me, I would heighten my alertness even more. That's just my personal way of dealing pick-pockets.

@CStrik3r 10 лет назад

The " putting valuable stuff in the front pocket so that they don't get stolen " is just a myth. In fact, pickpockets call that " The candy pocket " as in " stealing candy from a baby ". It's funny 'cause a lady friend just got her iPhone stolen from her front pocket on a bus like a month ago.

@ivanrodriguez7563 2 года назад

Que triste tener que caminar por la calle y cuidarse de los de su alrededor.

@harkana2649 2 года назад

Red flag for me was how they literally surrounded him, so he can't focus on both of them at once

@s1234id123 4 года назад

So this guy is giving them directions with a nat Geo crew recording sound and camera at his face. PAID ACTOR.

@Alsatiagent 6 лет назад

A pro would have bumped the guy to distract him from the feel of a wallet leaving snug jeans. Nice of him to leave the flap of his bag hanging out for her to more easily remove what must be the lightest tablet on the market. But this is just another distraction.

@bdaarmy9736 3 года назад

Except bumping and stealing is too cliche. Everyone knows about that.

@Katnipkitkat_Cthulhu 6 лет назад

One of the reasons why I pretty much only ever leave the house with my wallet, keys, hat, and disability card. Then I only need keep track of my pockets, which I almost in an OCD fashion keep checking to make sure everything is always there.

@Exoskeletal6 6 лет назад

@afzalmajeed8124 4 года назад

I captured the stealing part as well as direction part in the first time.

@morgankilian4190 10 лет назад

Grew up in a city where such is rampant, thus the reflex for being alert at all times equally heightened. Best advice from me would be; always use your front pockets rather. This is what I learned, and despite currently living in one of the world's most secured countries, thats still my style ~ kinda second nature now lol. Best of luck.

@thaanos7144 2 года назад

I think im smarter in a different way i did not get the directions right at all and im never fully paying attention to what people are saying but i pay alot more attention of their body language and my surroundings im just cool like that 😎

@will2Collett 10 лет назад

WOW the price for directions? is it worth it? I saw the guys hand the first time and the woman also . .cool precautionary tale.

I got both the direction and the Stealers so, i think this game wasn't that of a super trick and messing our brains..........cause I think if u want to know the direction just listen cause u can't see the map....😑😑😑😑😑😑......but while listening u can obviously see what's going on so, that's how I got both........ 😁😁😁😁
