Apollo Robbins (@ApolloRobbins) is often referred to as “The Gentleman Thief.” He first made national news when he pick-pocketed the Secret Service while entertaining a former U.S. President. Forbes has called Robbins “an artful manipulator of awareness,” and Wired has written that “he could steal the wallet of a man who knew he was going to have his pocket picked.”
Robbins’ entertainment credentials include the Warner Bros. film Focus, with Will Smith and Margot Robbie, along with appearances in Brooklyn 99, and the TNT series Leverage. He was a producer and co-host for National Geographic’s Brain Games, which was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Informational Series. Robbins applies his expertise in magic and misdirection beyond entertainment, pulling back the curtain to show how the principles behind these illusions can enhance strategic thinking and decision-making.
His contributions to attention and perception research have been published in Scientific American Mind and Nature Reviews Neuroscience. He has delivered lectures at Harvard Kennedy School, MIT Sloan School of Management, and the Society of Neuroscience. He has been profiled by The New Yorker and featured in The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Geographic, and The Wall Street Journal. Robbins’ TED Talk, “The Art of Misdirection,” is ranked in the 20 most-watched TED Talks of all time and has been hailed by the TED editors as a revelation in the flaws of human perception.

OMG 😳 Apollo Robbins is here! He is offline on his social media since years, Missed him alot
After the last handshake, was that Tim casually tapping his pocket twice to check if his phone/wallet/secret-service-itinerary was stolen? 😂
Ive had been subject to ring extraction. I knew they will go for it but the ring doesn't come out so I had no worries. I played dumb and she tried to take it out twice but gave up. I was amazed by how smooth that was. The approach was, I've found this ring is it yours? Lets see if it fits you
Similarly with the coat. You dont feel a thing if the coat wall does not touch your body. Even when it does they uae misdirection to drive attention away. One guy I knew demonstrated this to me. He got close enough to my space and took my wallet and I was all up to get him but could not feel a thing
Fun display.
Loving the jacket.😀
💜
He is so fun to watch!
Brilliant video.
Excellent
Imagine putting all your valuables in a coffee cup for safe keeping and then throwing it in the bin lol
I wish there was a link to the type of waist/belt wallets he mentions that flip out? Anyone know what brand he's talking about?
Where did you get that rug
WoW Mind blown
Brilliant 😅
Interesting!
Damn he got old but still good looking
9:36 - how is that coin move done? - all fingers are open. On slow .25 speed it seems like an old school UFO tractor beam without the light show. Squeezing tension released?
In the full interview with Tim and Apollo, they both mention how incredibly difficult it is for the body to do that move because it's a very unnatural movement. That's as far as they go.
It looks exactly like you said irl as well. It interestingly involve very slightly contorting the palm 'muscles' to rocket the coin off
Can anyone here tell me what kind of shoes Tim is wearing? They look really nice and comfortable.
No.
They look like espadrilles with a sporty rubber sole.
I saw a woman today with a chain connecting her nose ring to her ear jewelry. It had been a long time since I'd seen that type of facial adornment. I met people in Chile with ripped ear lobes from encounters with thieves and gold hoop earrings. While I really would like to be proficient at make up and other cosmetic type things I don't care for jewelry and I have been questioning credit cards as tracking devices
jesus i thought chile was a nice and safe place

Why has nobody ever picked my pocket? I'm insanely oblivious to mal-intent, and thinking back I can picture maybe 3 or 4 occasions that somebody might have attempted to pick my pocket, but I didn't realize it at the time.
Am I just THAT antisocial?
Tim is wearing a coat?!
Alive door 10
Aren’t the other pickpockets going to get mad at him? 🤔
I'm sure there's a TON he's not giving away here.
wow
why is this man not in jail cooking food for example. Would make a great cook.
