In this week's Learn Quick, I attempt to learn to pick a lock with paper clips. Can this actually be done like it is in the movies?

Mike's neighborhood is the safest in the UK as he goes round locking everyone's doors with paperclips in the middle of the night!

I couldn't remember this guys name so I googled "Scottish guy who learns stuff" and bam

“Im the only guy to ever pick a lock and lock the front door” honestly the funniest thing I have heard all day

You should try butterfly knives if you would like something new to learn

"im the only guy to have ever picked a lock and and locked the front door" He's done it twice too. Absolouteley love the content you're putting out btw.

Mike: what was that noise?
Lock-Picking lawyer: large click out of four, three is binding

Mike should learn to draw a perfect circle with just himself, a piece of chalk and a chalkboard. It’s a really cool skill and I think it would be entertaining to watch

[Mancyitch]

Mike, your the only person that I know of who can keep a 3 minute long intro genuinely entertaining and not make me skip to the main content.

"just running the tool back and forth hoping it works" is an absolutely valid technique called 'raking' and at least two of the tools in your pick set are designed for just that.

Person: So what talents do you have?

Mike Boyd: *_Yes._*

I grew up doing this for people, and masterlocks are always my favorite, the little hole In bottom was perfect for bending the pick, getting a decent tension wrench was always the tricker part

[Biscel.]

Honestly, that is one impressive mustache he has

Me and two of my friends learned how to lockpick a simple padlock like the one at the end of your video in a single car ride. We just brute forced our way to finding out how to do it. Kind of scary how easy it is to get by some of the things that we rely on so heavily.

Best part of the video is about 7:45 Your wife/girlfriend shouts, "For Godsake Michael!".. loved it - and for that I subbed. Great to see it all in "real time"
