Lock picking at Mindcamp
So this year again there were few people teaching lock picking and I actually got to try one. The particular technique that a guy called Pablo told me is the following (check the picture to understand a bit better how it works although it is a bit fuzzy). You have a key that fits on a particular kind of lock but with all the pins very low so obviously, won’t open the lock as keys have pins of different highs but it will fit on the lock well. With one hand, you put some pressure on the key inside the lock and then with something like a small hammer, start hitting the key on the lock horizontally till the energy of hitting the key will lift the internal pins of the lock and you will feel how suddenly you can turn the key and open the lock. Not sure I explain it well but it was pretty cool, it took me a couple of attempts but it was a really cool feeling when the key turned around and open the lock.
