A wizard that uses a really long key as his magic staff. The key doesn’t have any magic properties, but it is the key for his wizard tower, so if you wanna break into there you better have 7 foot long picks and an ass load of paitence.

Hi there, I'm writing a book that occasionally has lockpicking. I'm up to a bit where a character gets a new, better lockpicking kit. And for a bit of dialogue to work, there needs to be a rare lock pick that's impressive. But even with my research I can't find anything like that. So I'd thought I ask here. Is there a rare lock pick you all in the lock picking community would be amazed by? And if not, is there something like that which would cause the same amount of amazement?

I want all y'all to know that the locksport sub on Reddit is currently having a lively discussion about lockpicking in a zombie apocalypse, as a result of a writer doing research for their novel.

Most of the time, this sub is pictures and videos of picked locks and asking for advice, but every so often a random non-picker comes in asking a question about lockpicking in general and everyone's feral gremlin side comes out and it's awesome.

How to be visibly invisible.

We get asked quite often how do to perform certain tasks. The truth of the matter is that while sometimes things go perfectly well, inevitably sometimes things go perfectly wrong. The real lesson in these things is to use that experience to make the likelihood of the next time more likely to succeed.

Can all things always go to plan on every occasion? Certainly, they can and do. But we also have knowledge that things go wrong very quickly, at any stage, for any reason. No matter what we have been tasked with, the constant is us. Anything else is a variable.

So we cater to driving the success by reducing the variables to a level we have the greatest control over or manipulating the odds in our favour. Usually we are looking for the weakest point in the chain to get an edge.

Most times when we travel we need control of the vehicle. This usually means use of the ‘Mk One Human Eyeball’ in the area to get a feel of what is a typical snapshot of that area at different times of the day. Time spent walking through, browsing the car parks, drop off zones, the road by the area of interest is all a clue as to what fits within the feel of normal for people who occupy that zone day in and day out. The devil is in the details, so have a phone with a headset and record yourself, write it down, remember the details or talk to some one who can take the note for you. Having a video camera stands out. But you can take selfies on a phone in some areas and blend in with normal, add food or coffee and get the pics that you want with the food. The Instagram generation has helped this type of craft become easier. You want to mesh and integrate with the environment enough to get the information while not standing out. Be the average person who is easily confused with every one else in the crowd.

Once you have a range of vehicle types, ages, colours and conditions it becomes easier to find a vehicle that meets the criteria. Are the cars all clean and polished? Again, the devil is in the details so observe everything in the notes, even if it doesn’t feel like its of any use right now, later on, that detail may sway the odds for you.

When you perform tasks like this is can be very easy when you start to behave differently as you try to bring all of the factors together. There is no rush, you belong, you can be here without issue so your body language needs to show that. Be relaxed, keep your head up and walk normally. Its a walk through, not a run through. Have a sip of water from the bottle in your bag on the bench and take a few more moments to familiarise yourself with the environment. See all you can see. Move with purpose and in a manner that makes you forgettable. Just another joe on the way to the store, or on a break from work, or returning from getting lunch. Did you bring accessories to the job to fit in? The sushi bar at the end of the street, a briefcase, or shopping bag from the big department store, or the gym bag?

You fit, you are one of the pieces of the puzzle that marks a snap shot of the day. You are tuned to the environment, your clothes, your bags, your hat, sunglasses and shoes are the product of the people you are moving with. Like Penguins, walking along to the beat of the march in unison. Except you are different.
