The Night I Discovered That I Could Pick Up Girls With Magic

Hi I'm Brad Jackson. The full blog you're reading is below, but I created PUMA Skills to teach guys how to use pick up artist magic tricks to break the ice with girls.

To discover more about PUMA Skills, Magic and how to end world hunger (well, maybe the first two only)...

One night in 2001, I was having drinks with a friend of mine at a bar.  We were about to order a drink and my friend grabbed a pack of matches, turned to me and said, “Watch.”  He made a match change colors, vanish and reappear and then tore it in half and restored it right before my eyes!

I know these were probably the only tricks he knew and he thought they were simple…but I thought they were simply amazing!  Fortunately for me, he taught me the methods.  After practicing for about 3 minutes, I knew I had to try them out.

Standing near me at the bar were two girls, out for the night with their party dresses on.  The one nearest me had a sundress on with legs that could make a grown man cry.  Everything on her was put together.  From her highlighted blonde hair to her perfect make up and Prada bag.  This girl meant business.

She and her friend were also giving off a very cold and snobby vibe.  You know the type I’m sure.  It’s hard enough to get the nerve to approach a girl like that and even harder to remember your name once you do…much less engage her in a conversation that will keep her interested.

There’s a lot I know now that I didn’t know then about opening and running game with girls this hot, but that night was different.  I literally didn’t care if she liked me or not…but she was the closest one to me so I could show off my new little magic tricks.

After learning these tricks with my buddy, I was already in a really fun and playful mood.  I bumped her on the shoulder with mine when she was standing next to me.  I said “I’m sorry, I didn’t see you there.  Hey, you look smart, tell me if you can figure this out…” (By the way, I’m probably the only guy who’s ever told her she looks “smart.”)

She looked at me and said “What?”  I began to perform the “Color Change” trick with the pack of matches and said “I can’t figure out how it does that…can you tell me?”

By the time I got through with all three tricks, something amazing happened.  She and I were having “fun.”  She was no longer this snobby hottie with fangs!  She was actually very cool.

She pulled me over to her friends a few feet away and told me to do it for them.  I refused and said I’m sorry, I’m off work tonight, I’m not a real magician…I just play one on TV…that kind of stuff.  Then I said I was going back to my friend because it was my round for drinks…which is true.

I see how powerful not performing the tricks again was because after I bought the drinks she came back over and found me.  She was begging to know the secrets.  My, my how the tables have turned.

I never showed her the methods to my future obsession, but instead went off into another flirty conversation about a lot of other things.  That interaction and the way I played it paid off handsomely.  I did show her one more trick that night…much later.  Something about making her clothes disappear.  

Notice in the example above I never asked her if she wanted to see a “magic trick.”  She wasn’t expecting magic until it already happened.  Also, by pulling away and not succumbing to her begging I was able to generate even more curiosity from her.

Obviously, the magic tricks didn’t get me the girl.  But they gave me an angle I wouldn’t have had otherwise. More importantly it enhanced my personality and gave her something that most guys at the bar that night couldn’t…fun.

Every night I went out on the town after that night I performed these tricks for someone.  Either for girls I was hitting on or my friends (who got sick of the same tricks…but they saw how effective they were).

I learned the hard way that opening and approaching a girl with magic tricks is very dangerous to your game.  That first night was beginner’s luck.  But these skills were to powerful to not use in an initial open.  So after time, I figured out a couple of techniques to open a set of girls or a single girl up without looking like a clown.

My favorite and by far the easiest is when I cause the girl I’m interested to come over and open ME!  I’ll reveal that in another chapter in explicit detail though.

So after I saw the light of how well magic works when using it you game I became obsessed with learning more tricks.  I went to every website I could think of to learn as many tricks as I could.  I’ve forgotten more tricks than I know because I never had a chance to use them…they weren’t appropriate for bar and social settings.

I spent over a thousand dollars downloading videos, buying DVD’s, grabbing everything I could get my hands on.  I was “drinking from the firehose of magic!”

In doing all this I was also filtering down all the tricks that I could do when I was out with my friends and discarding all the ones that didn’t.  For instance, I love card magic and I know some great tricks, but I’m not a good card-magician because I don’t take them to bars.  I did get really good at close up though.

But a big difference between being a P.U.M.A. and a close-up street-magician is that P.U.M.A.’s never use objects that make it look like he came out intending to do magic.  If I carry magic with me, it’s probably going to be coin or currency magic and a few other neat tricks of the trade that are completely inconspicuous to the girl we’re performing with.

So let’s skip forward from 2001 to 2008.  I have come to the point where I not only use magic effectively in my game with girls, but now even my friends request magic when they see it.  They also know I’m a great wingman with my magic.  They can pull me over to girls they’re talking to and that’s the only time that I’ll be the dancing monkey…is if I can help them out.  (DISCLAIMER:  Sometimes it doesn’t work out so well for my friend because I get all the attention of the girls they were interested in…I have to be careful with that.)
