I'm going to try not being a mean girl, because I think the following story is all kinds of adorable. But let's just say it's hard not to affectionately tease the guy who runs a class for seducing women — with magic tricks!
27-year-old McDerick Ho co-owns Secret Skills, a magic school in Singapore. The course he teaches? "The Art of Seduction Magic," a two-hour class for $150 during which Ho will teach men ten magic tricks that are supposed to help them break the ice with women they're interested in.
For example, he teaches techniques that allow a man to hug a girl while performing a particular magic trick, all while speaking lines from a script Ho provides that's so top secret he won't even put it on his website.
Although some men are skeptical about magic tricks as aphrodisiac, others say anything that can get a man's confidence up to speak to a woman is a good thing. You hear about rapists spiking women's drinks with roofies or others who are just disrespectful, so it's hard not to see this approach as innocent and adorable — if waaay dorky.
How would you react if a guy came up to you at a bar and asked, "Can I interest you in some magic tricks?

I'd just be completely indifferent. Magic tricks aren't a turn-on for me. So unless he was a total creeper, I'd probably just watch to be nice and then leave.
1It would depend on the guy's personality and looks. It could possibly be cute.
It amazes me that guys think they need a gimmick or a pickup line. It's not hard to date women. Don't be creepy, and talk to us trying to make a genuine emotional connection. I have no idea why that simple concept is so fraking elusive for my dateless, nerdy guy friends.
2I went on a date with a boy in high school, jeez we were probably fifteen, and went to the movies, and after it was over we were waiting for his dad to pick us up to drive me home and he did a magic trick with like a pen and a quarter in the movie theater lobby, and part of me was like "this is the cheesiest thing ever" and the other part of me thought it was utterly adorable.
3No.
4Maybe my view is tainted becasue my DB friend is a student of the great master, Mystery the pick up artist, and tries to do this ish. I find it creepy.
how would i respond? not favorably
5spacekatgal - YES - i just read your comment. maybe they should have a class to teach guys that dating isn't that difficult! don't be creepy, be respectful, be honest, and have fun - seriously if you have an emotional connection then it will work out, and if you don't, it won't - you can't "try" to be funny or entertaining or charming...you just have to be normal and be yourself and if the girl is a good match for you, she'll like you without gimmicks!!!!!!!
god, girls aren't that hard to please!
6It could be cute, but really it depends on the guy
7One trick *might* be cute... Ten tricks? Creepy. And laughs to Anonymous, regarding the great master.. "Mystery" lol king of all DB's. But I wish that show as still on, because it gave me so much to laugh at! Really, what is UltaStud Mystery up to these days.. I'm off to Google!
