'pickpocket acrobat during embrace' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'acrobat during embrace' is the wordplay.
'embrace' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'embracing' mean this (the solution is embraced by words in the clue)).
'ROB' is hidden within 'acrobat during'.
