Neil Strauss wrote a book, The Game, detailing the appoach of a Pick Up Artist, Mystery

He has become world-famous

According to his biog he was a magician, who began chatting-up women using magic

His achievements should be recorded as a master magician

does any one have details on him as a magician?

I don't think he was a magician, he was a journalist if my memory serves me right. Now he's a maried guy selling people courses on "picking up" women Marketing expert, maybe, magician ... me think not... Maybe his bank manager and editor think differently though

Style was the journalist; Mystery was a magician

he has done loads that magicians can learn from

I stand corrected then Still I look forward to be enlightened further here because the premise "magic - PUA" sounds really fake to me. As does the whole PUA thing anyway Just my opinion of course. But it would be interresting to read what the girls here think about it.

You mention his contributions, what do you mean specifically ? I did a quick google search on him, maybe you are thinking presentation style etc?

they all look like toolboxes if you ask me...

i read The Game, it outraged my victorian values and made my blood boil...

i wouldnt class any of those chaps in that video as "lookers"...

i cant disagree.............

what i meant was simple:

when he sold the idea of PUAs it was kept very quiet that, effectively, he used magic to meet and seduce women

it would be worthwhile noting the importance of magic in the growth of this multi-million $ business

in effect, he may have misdirected everyone, whilst he used the coin unique to get laid!

surely he worked as a magician in the past, but i doubt he does any magic shows now. he sure is using some tricks while meeting women, which is his job . which is magic!

There's no need to post over and over again, if no one has responded it's because no one knows. Asking repeatedly is just going to annoy people.

s, thanks for helpful advice, point taken aboard

He didn't use magic as his whole method to get women but rather as a handy 'opener' if you like to get talking to them. Apparently he became quite good mates with Copperfield and possibly works with him now, but the showmanship of magic rolls over quite nicely into successful interaction with people and that's the real magic of what he does I think.
