torque wrench allen key

Why can't I get a lock picked, I've tried everything!!!?
I Have watched tens, if not hundreds of videos of how pick locks and I just can't get it done. I have also spent hours of time making picks and torque wrenches. I just can't get all the pins set. I have tried 5+ different locks, varying from 5-7 pins. About 3 pins set but the others just won't. At the moment I am using a hairpin (with a proper handel and the correct bend angle) as a pick and an allen key for a torque wrench.
What am I doing wrong, or are all those videos on Youtube and Metacafe lies?
some people just don't have the touch...
