Thus what you are looking for is a substance for the heart that easily disolves or sublimates with a catalyst. To ensure this occupation of the mind the person handing them the heart and envelope could ask the person to write a personal message on question on the heart. So you would put any temprature sensitive component of the trick in the envelope not the heart. Now if you think about it prior to the trick a person from the audiance would occupy their mind and hands with the heart not the envelope. As a result it melts in your mouth and inside pocket but not normaly in your hand which is closer to room temprature some 10C or 20F degrees colder.

Yes my first thought was chocolate, it’s a substance that melts at slightly less than full body temprature. Maybe flash paper with a particularly-thick/fire- proof envelope? (There’s probably a better combination) While it’s a very niche case, this might be considered a plausible argument for making valuable items that people would typically have on their person in a pocket, heavy enough to notice the loss of. He did successfully lift a number of light items, though, and I was fairly impressed. He admitted when I picked him up on it, that he didn’t expect the calculator to be so heavy, and estimation of an object’s weight and whether its loss would be expected to be felt, was also why he hadn’t tried to go for my watch (a clockwork Breitling with a steel case and strap).
I was able to spot when my calculator, an HP-48 (which is a fairly hefty piece of kit, for a pocket item) was lifted from the inside pocket of my jacket, not because I actually felt the pickpocket’s hand remove it, but because I felt the weight distribution of my jacket and its contents change. The cartridge-removal trick sounds very impressive – the pen would have to be returned without the victim noticing, which is likely to be rather harder than just removing it.Īlso, the article brings to mind a recollection of when I was the willing victim (off-stage, at a pub) of a stage pickpocket, some years ago.
