Hi,
It all done by touch, there is a nice book called Zen and the art of lockpicking. Its worth reading, basically tells you to close your eyes and feel and make a mental picture in your mind of what you feel. The book helped me when I first started. I dont have a copy now but im sure you can purchase it from one of the many websites that sell books.

Greetings,

I have searched for this book but couldn't find it..I only found a chapter in the MIT guide with the same title (If I remember correctly). Does anybody have any more info?

Thanks,

The OP had originally promoted downloading the book illegally. I edited the post to make it more LP101 friendly. It may not be available at a bookseller, I was guessing. :wink:

I'm interested in reading this book, any chance to know the title? I guess it's not illegal to name it.

Thanks :)
