My random tips if anyone cares
I can tell you that magic sets you apart form the rest of the guys if you do it right and learn self control. Usually when friends and I go out and a new girl comes along some where along the line my magic skills get mentioned: She asks " show me a trick?" I say "no" and later when we're playing pool or something I'll go " that's a beautiful ring..can I see it?" (add your effect here) 1. When in a group and you're doing magic for one girl - make her the centre of attention. Keep your eye contact with her and just a hint of a smile. The effect is much stronger. 2. Women respond well to story telling so use romantic stories. Use angel imagery, stories of love lost etc. 3. Try as much as possible NOT to do a card trick as your opener. Once they see cards their mind is already thinking of Uncle Harry's boring card tricks. 4. Humour is a good thing - but you want to create some tension and intimacy-humour diffuses tension. Open with a joke but get serious. 5. Touch! yes, hold her hand or ask her to hold yours when you French drop the ring. 6. Lose the gameshow host persona, go with a sincere quiet approach - be a steel fist in a velvert glove. Try to make it seem like you are both experiencing the magic instead of you being a smarty pants and showing off. 7. Use her rings, her name, her favourite card , her napkin her drink. (As I write this I just came up with an idea : imagine using ringflite to vanish her ring. Then doing a floating rose - opening the petals of the real rose and there is the ring. hmmm) Well, that's what I can remember off the top of my head. I hope this helps someone. |

I sincerely doubt that any woman has been convinced to like a man that they- otherwise- would not have liked, because of magic.
And I have to admit it always makes me cringe when I see magician's using magic as a pretense to cop a feel (tip #5). The guy with the goatee on Mondo Magic was always pawing his spectators. I wish I could agree that "magic sets you apart from the other guys" but it's not been my experience, and I've never seen it work for others. If Macguyer did some Romantic Magic and it seemed to work, I'm pretty sure it's the "Romantic" part that did it, not the magic part (and any non-magic romantic gestures probably would have also done the "trick"). |

I agree. The unfortunate reality is that girls think magicians are dorks. Taking away the magician persona and using an effect to break the ice is probably one's best bet. After that, it all comes down to how good one is with the ladies.

Then you have the women that say that magic is evil and part of demonic rituals. As soon as I heard that, my eyes popped out of my head; but being the gentleman that I am, I said ok and walked away. I do agree however that it's not magic that gets the girls. It's your personality and how you come across to the girl as a human, NOT a magician.
Although I am curious...has anyone gotten a female to date them by JUST doing magic?

Nope! I've been with my girlfriend for two years. I met her through a mutual friend, and the friend asked if I would show her some magic when we met. I did a few tricks, nothing terribly fancy, sponges, Daleys Aces, etc. She now reveals that at that meeting she thought "Oh no, this guy's into magic". We started dating about 6 months after we first met. She doesn't dislike magic, but she certainly "puts up" with it rather than really enjoys it. We didn't get together based on magic, but rather similar interests, being friends first, etc. Magic may be a good ice breaker, but I certainly don't expect anyone to go swooning at your feet because of a trick. (Although I am impressed at the girl who asks to kiss Greg Wilson on the Hundy 500 tape! How does he do it!?)

Actually I did get a date from magic and I wasn't even trying. It was years ago when the d'lites first came out. I was doing the standard d'lite routine once and decided to go one step further and turn the red lite to a rose. At the end I gave it to her and the conversation just started. It wasn't magic conversation but I did ask her out and she accepted. Now we are married......... go figure.

Ha!!! nice Phil!!! I have to say d lites have gotten me the most fringe benefits in my performing career. (especially a night out with friends)
OF COURSE magic is a perfect in for women. One thing we all know, is magicians are percieved as dorks and flamers, (thats right I said it, flamers) But when you are introduced to someone and you do magic and they love it, you are in. I agree when a magician touches a woman too much in a performance it can be akward and creep like. But fact is, magic makes you look unique and stand out from everyone else. Using her belongings are a great idea, make it more personal for her. How many times you are performing and someone says "man you must get a lot of chicks with that" or "the girls must LOVE that" and its true!! Its a perfect way to met and/or to leave a lasting impression. It may not be THE thing that she loves about you the most... But at least she got a chance to meet you and appreciate your little "show" and see you in a different way. if you would of sat there all night and not said a word she wouldnt of had the chance to meet you the way she did, with magic.. |

Magic may be the way to open the door, but YOU have to be the one to step inside - a wise man once said. If you are personable, interesting and interested in her, you will have much better luck than if you stay "on stage" even if you are a close up type performer.
Like Vernon used to say - "Be natural." and add Leipzig's Maxim, "people don't mind being fooled by a gentleman," and being a gentleman will get you much further than just about anything else. Of course, I use Heinlein's definition of a gentleman from Glory Road - "A gentleman is exactly that - a gentle man, who can be h*** on wheels if you cross him." ;) Lee Darrow, C.H.

MacGyver, you want to have a look at my "Partizan, My Act" Topic, I think you will find some good stuff there.
I am never in the position that I want to impress the ladies. If I see a woman I like and she is single I will go and talk too her. and that's it! If I see a relevant place to involve a mystery I will, but only once and with heavy masking on each side of the feat. If I want a woman I have a good chance of it happening as my intent is strong and pure. I need not mask this in magic and prance around her spouting flowers. Getting things you want is a whole anotherythingtype subject altoghether and is a good basis of a strong personality, and it is this people are enthralled with. Using magic to pick up women is as niaeve as putting socks in your underpantaloons. You will be found out sooner or later. I also think it is demeaning to the woman to think she is seeing magic when the real trick is on her!!!

Magic is a great way to open the door. I've used it to tremendous success to the point where friends are asking me to teach them magicso they can "dizzy up the girls"

Hey! I met my girlfriend demoing some magic; it's been two years! I did the whole: Phone number trick. Essentially card is selected, lost in the deck. Deck is spread- one face up card. But it's not her's; mention that it's an indicator card. Count down the number of cards as that indicator card. The last card happens to be her selected card. The seven other cards in order from right to left are your personal phone number- thus leading you to give her your card, and witness the miracle!!! Gotta love that trick! I'm forgetting it's given name though...

Lol! HOW TO FIND OUT IF A WOMAN IS A PYSCHO: do a magic trick if she calls you the devil etc. gulp down the rest of your drink (and hers) pick up your cards- and do Steve Fearsons selfvanish.

Lol. I believe the eye-popping was AFTER I did the trick and she told me that it was evil, haha.
