Theater Pickpocketing is a mission for Sly Cooper in The Black Chateau episode of Sly 2: Band of Thieves. It introduces pickpocketing.

Written Synopsis
Once you reach the mission marker, Sly will open a door and go inside. Upon getting inside, take one step forward. Once that is done, Bentley will contact Sly and show him the power boxes that route to the printing press area. He says you will need to put a splice clip in the spotlights in order for him to take out the boxes. Sly tells Bentley he can't do that right now as the fans around the area are moving way too fast to walk on. Bentley tells Sly that he can slow them down with a nearby control panel, but he will need to do a lot of pickpocketing first as the guards are carrying the keys to the control panel. However these keys are special keys that will be destroyed when the guards holding them are defeated, so Sly needs to make sure that he gets the keys from the guards first before he takes them out.

Bentley will give you a brief tutorial on how to pickpocket. Any guard with a key has a blue glow around their pockets, so use this to remember which guards still have keys. If you take out a guard while he has a key still in his pocket, you will fail the mission. After you pickpocket the nearby guard once, Bentley will tell you to keep pickpocketing the guard's pockets until you get the key as sometimes you have to dig a little bit more. After you get the key from the guard, you can take him out if you wish to. Go around the area and take the other keys from the other guards. Once you have the six keys, Bentley will congratulate you and tell you to head to the control panel for the control panel and turn off the fans.

Once you get to the control panel press the Circle button to use the keys to unlock the locks. This will turn off the fans. Bentley states to Sly it looks like the fans have stopped and that means Sly can use the fans to get on top of the main chandelier and insert the splice clip.

Use the fans as platforms, so you can easily get to the top of the main chandelier. Once you are on top of the chandelier, place the splice clip onto the controls. Once you do so, Bentley will tell you that he is overriding the spotlight security guns. He will then use the guns to destroy the power boxes. After finishing, Bentley states that should do it as there will now be no more security in the printing press room. Once the cutscene is over, it's job complete.
