You guys are doing it all wrong. You can still pickpocket twice! However, you should only see one animation, but hear two noises. If you get a second animation you're clicking too slow! Secondly, if the ko fails, immediately click pickpocket. If you succeed it cancels the attack and you can go for the ko again immediately. If you fail you're stunned but the attack is still cancelled. This is when you eat. Try to practice on bandits first to get the right rhythm (less fails makes it easier to start with). I can get over 120k ph at 73, so its much faster than PP.
