Cool, made me think of Tschumi's manhattan transcripts, but I see he actually interviewed Tschumi in this book. And I also realise I used to read this guy's blog, crazy to see it is still active ~20 years later.

Funny that it's in the new yorker - they had a great video of Apollo Robbins about 13 years ago demonstrating some pickpocketing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoUSO_Mj1TQ

This article links to their early piece on Apollo Robbins in the first paragraph

It does, but the video is later than their original profile and not linked, and I thought it was interesting actually seeing him in action. It's one of the higher quality videos of him.
