I have a friend who used to be very into sleight-of-hand. He described some of his time at a magic camp once, apparently it was a mark of superiority if you managed to putpocket another magician, so they would spend some effort on doing it to each other. I think it's a great mental image -- some poor magician emptying aces out of his pockets in the evening, "damn it, damn it."
