Success

"A pocket-watch. Ratwork. Engraved with a spotted toadstool."

[…] Alexandra sits on stage […] blindfolded, and describes the items using […] telepathy.[…] In fact, her assistant tells her the details […]

The code is fiendishly difficult but you master it […] you pocket some of the nicer items.

Description summary:
The act consists of Alexandra sitting blindfolded and identifying objects from the crowd through the power of "telepathy". In reality, you move among the audience and convey what items they are holding through a very complex code, for Alexandra to decipher and describe the presented piece. While you're at it you pickpocket some of other people's belongings.
