Magic Tricks

[everywomanshero]

I have not seen the movie and apparently the ******* who plays the 40 year old virgin does magic tricks. I was doing some basic tricks for some girls recently and they mentioned that asking me if I had a fake ear to boot. I fvcking hate hollywood.

yes, i know what you mean, a lot of this stuff is getting very main stream and it's harder to use tricks and gimmicks, i like the indirect approach because it let's me break into a group quite easily but i have been mixing in some direct approaches as well

i think the key is to just be ready for when you get a comment like this and have a good come back prepared, personally if my indirect approach doesn't work i'll switch to a direct approach

"ok cool, so you guys don't like magic tricks, no problem... so who here is single? great what's your number?"

also i know that numbers don't mean jack sh*t so best to stay around and keep plowing even if you do get the number... show them another trick your working on or invite them to hang out with you somewhere else, whatever...

if they don't go for it then just walk away, i'm in week 5 of my bootcamp at the moment and i have decided not to walk away from any sets without at least asking for their number and getting a straight out rejection

the lesson here is be prepared and always have a better answer

Dude, do you know what a sh!t test is yet?

Keep doing your freaking 'tricks' for the girls, some will get pissed because your wasting your time, others will be so excited because they don't have any friends that can do em.

You choose your battles, and your cliches.

Magic tricks, gimmicks, palm reading etc just smacks of approval seeking. They're not princesses and you're not their court jesters.

Who needs gimmicks anyway....what are you gonna do pull a coin out of some chicks bum while your having sex???

They seem to work for Mystery, but I am no magician.

I do like setting stuff on fire, though.

Flaming straw rockets just sound like all-around good fun.

there is only one time i do a "magic trick", and it's while at a restarant waiting at the table or whatever and conversation goes cold

but i dont do it like a "magic trick"

if u say "HEY LEMME SHOW U A COOL MAGIC TRICK" then whip out 5 decks of cards you're gonna look like a fag

i have one i do with a coin where i make it disappear and say it only works with certain ones depending on what year it was made because they changed the materials they make them with, if it's the right one i can rub it through my skin and make it disintigrate

then i'll say that oh anyone can do it, here try

then when she cant do it, i make fun of her.



if you do a magic trick, don't do it like a magic trick, do it like you'd do anything else you're telling someone about in a normal conversation
