The inspiration behind Dickens' Fagin was real. Victorian London had an estimated 10,000 active pickpockets – and more than half of those arrested were women and children.
They called the trade "dipping," and the best operators could empty your pockets without you feeling a thing.
📜 FIGURES FEATURED:
• Jenny Diver – The legendary pickpocket whose "false arms" technique was taught for generations after her execution
• Ellen Reece – The "Queen of the Dippers" who targeted wealthy bankers near the Bank of England
• The child pickpockets trained in criminal "schools" throughout London's rookeries
🔍 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
• The techniques: "dipping," "stalling," and "buzzing"
• How the Forty Elephants recruited graduates from the pickpocket trade
• Why children as young as 5 were trained to steal
