look at the floppy disc shim - make a shape similar, and trace it onto the fizzy drink can.

yes, and you may find them by searching :P

p.s: they are not 'cool' they serve a purpose, ansd after you know how to do them they become boring

not as hard to lean as picking but you need to know the locking method of of the lock you want to shim, will not work on all locks and some you will need to shim both sides.

this may be a generalisation - but if you push the shackle down and it pops back up like a spring action then likely you will be able to shim it.

Locks that are shimmable can be picked fine, tricircle being an anomaly, unless you use the heavy tension powerfull raking... you put the half-diamond into the back of the lock by the last pick and pull it out hard - this seems to work like a pickgun or bumpkey, but it is not good for the lock and especialy with the soft pins of the tricircle - not to be done too often. :)
