Faking stumbles and conjuring tricks

Sentence (my try):

See what the famous pickpocket did. Not faking stumbles. This is something outdated. Now, when people stumble into somebody, the first thing they do is to check their wallets. This one stared at his victim and said: 'I know you!'. As in the conjuring tricks, you must know how to distract the audience's attention.

I am not sure if "faking stumbles" and "conjuring tricks" are all right in this context. I think that the rest of the grammar is good, isn't it?
