Walk up to a girl and say, “Do you believe in ESP?” Remember to SMILE or you may startle her. “Just think of the first # that pops into your head from one to four. Don’t say it. Just think it … now take that # and imagine that it is drawn on a blackboard in your head. Have you done that?”
She says OK
“What’s so neat about imagination is … we both have it … On the blackboard, I see the number … three.”
Whether you get it right or not reply.
“Alright, lets try this one more time. This time think of a different # from one to 10. Got it? Picture it in white chalk on the blackboard … you are thinking of the number … 7.”
If you got the first wrong and the second right, you look like you finally got it … a 1 in 10 chance. If you get BOTH right (a 90% chance seeing as it is a psychological trick where most north Americans naturally choose 3 and 7 as their first picks) that’s a 1 in 40 chance … “and of course I don’t stake my reputation on mere chance.”
If you get the first right but the second wrong or both wrong, say… “PROOF! ESP does NOT exist!” Then start to laugh like this “Mooa ha ha ha ha ha ha! And you believe in ESP!” a good neg hit to start. If she mentions that most people pick 3 and 7 (most girls wont know this though) just say, “really? Hmm… didn’t know that … thank you Cliff Claven.” (From Cheers)
If you take the wording I have and do this EXACTLY as stated, you will be surprised HOW well you will do. When they ask HOW, tell them … I DON’T KNOW. Tell her you can SEE the #s on your imaginary blackboard. This is NOT a trick. You hate magicians. If she wants you to do this again, tell her … “don’t be greedy now.”
Speaking of greedy … if a girl kisses you on the cheek and goes to kiss your other cheek, tell her, “Only one … don’t be greedy.” This is a good NEG HIT. Mild but a neg hit nonetheless. If she says, “Yes, but I’m French”, you reply, “Are all French girls as greedy as you?”

“Do you think spells work?” Sometimes this will send the woman off on a long blab, but if the conversation needs to be kept going, the follow-up routine is:
“The reason I’m asking is because my friend over there met a girl in a club last week. He wasn’t interested in her sexually, because she wasn’t really his type.” (Here the woman might say “Sure,” in which case you reply “No, really!” and touch her arm or waist.)
“Anyway, she hung out at his house and after she left, he found a metal ring wrapped around a scroll and some feathers under his couch. Well, he took it to a magick store and they said it was an attraction spell. And now, the strange thing is, he can’t stop thinking of her. Do you think it’s the spell or just psychological?”

Evolution Phase Shift Routine by Style
1. I tell her that she smells good and ask what she is wearing. Then I lean in, brush her hair aside, and sniff her slowly, moving up from the shoulder to the ear. “Mmmm, that smells good. People don’t pay enough attention to smell. But you’ll notice how animals, before they mate, will always smell each other. Evolution has hard-wired us to respond to certain things. You are wired to respond when someone smells you.”
2. “It’s like when someone pulls the back of your hair. You’ll notice how lions, when they mate, always bite and tug at the end of each other’s mane, right here.” (Since I’m shaved bald, I’ll add here, “This is what I miss the most about not having hair”; if you have hair, say, “This is one of my favorite things”.) Then I run my hand up the back of her neck and grab a fistful of hair at the roots and pull it, downwards. She says “Mmmm…” And I say “see.”
3. Then I talk about how “No one knows this, but the most sensitive places on the body are places that are usually hidden from contact with the air, like the back of the elbow (touching it) and knee (touching it). Any place where your body bends, twists, or folds, there are millions of sensitive little nerve endings that release endorphins. Then I take her arm, bend it a little, and erotically bite the area on the opposite side of the elbow (that crease where it bends). She usually gets the chills, and I have her ratify how good it feels.
[Note for the less experienced: If you don't know how to erotically bite a girl, learn before you do this. You want to take a big chunk of skin -- not a little pinch! – and slowly and firmly slide your teeth together until they meet and release the skin. You may want to practice on your own elbow first.]
4. After, I say, “But do you know what the best thing in the world is?…A bite…right…here.” And I point to the side of my neck. (Every now and then, I’ll add, that “this has to do with the fact that it is where the jugular vein is most exposed, and since most sexual fantasies have to do with submission and vulnerability, it sends all the fantasy signals flying.”) Then I’ll expose my neck and say, “Bite me right here” as if I expect her to do it. Fifty percent of the time she will. If she doesn’t, I just turn away calmly (punish), wait a few seconds, and then turn back and repeat, “Bite me right here.” Usually she will.
5. Half the time, her bite is lame. If so, I correct her and say, “That’s not how you bite. Come here.” Then I give her a good bite on the neck and instruct her to “try again.” This time, she ALWAYS does a great job.
6. Now you look her in the eye, smile mischievously/approvingly, and say, very slowly, “not bad.” Then glance down at her mouth, back up at her eyes, and…yes…finally…you…may…if you want…and if she’s ready…um…kiss!
Short Version: smell, grab hair, touch elbow, touch back of knee, bite elbow, bite my neck, bite her neck, triangular gazing, kiss.

This one is AWESOME if you’re sarging strippers and models. It’s also completely true.
Style: Smile again for me.
HB: um, okay.
Style (to wing): See, she’s a U.
HB: ????
Style: I dated a girl who wanted to be a pop star. And she had a theory that people with U-shaped smiles were perceived as unfriendly. And people with C-shaped smiles were perceived as friendly.
HB: So what’s a U then?
Style: A U is when your teeth go straight back in your mouth (can add “kind of like a horse” if she’s a SHB). A C is when there’s a big row of pearly whites in the front. And to my ex, it was more than a theory. She actually got her teeth surgically reshaped from a U to a C.
HB: No way.
Style: And she had me go look at pictures of like Christina Aguilera, who is a U, and Britney Spears, who is a C. Look at the cover of Us or any magazine, and you’ll see that it’s always a C smile on the cover.
From here, me and the target start inspecting the teeth of random strangers looking for the perfect C or U. It’s fun.

Whilst opinions differ on the value of having a ‘Routine Stack’ (a structured list of routines), and the mere topic often promotes debate within the pick up community, I personally found having a stack really helped my development in game. For me it was useful to have early Instant Value Demonstration (IVD) and DHV material scripted in a logical order and ready to go, freeing me up to concentrate on my body language, kino, compliance testing and the development of calibration skills.
As my game improved I moved away from stacks, but I still consider them to be a particularly useful development tool for the beginner and intermediate PUA. In fact a year or two back I began to insist that all my new 1 on 1 students developed personalized stacks before I took them infield. This ensured I could concentrate on their key development areas without the variability of them throwing in routines in a random (and sometimes inappropriate / inefficient / illogical) order. This approach tended to work very well for them, so my support for stack use was reinforced.
A well thought out stack can provide rapid DHV uploads, include multi-threading, boost buying temperature, initiate kino, and test compliance all within a short time period and often without doing too much thinking. This is one of the key reasons stacks are useful for those progressing in game. Ever been in set trying to figure out what to say next? Used a comfort routine that didn’t work out because you through it in too early? Stacked multiple openers and didn’t generate attraction? These types of problems can be removed from your game very early on via the use of a routine stack.
For brevity in this article I’ll describe my favored stack format covering Opening and A2 of the Mystery Method, in my next article I’ll continue running through into A3 and include a typical time bridge and number close routine I’ve used often.
So…In simple terms the basic Mystery Method Open/A2 stack format I have used most is…
• OPENER (with FTC and Neg)
• FTC
• IVD#1
• DHV Story#1
• Confirm 3 IOI’s? If yes then Qualify (Move into A3 stack), Or…
• DHV Story#2
• Confirm 3 IOI’s? If yes then Qualify (Move into A3 stack), Or…
• Continue with IVD #2 or DHV #3 and Qualify (Move into A3 stack)
I find that if your first piece following the opener provides the girls with something of value (i.e. an IVD), such as interesting information about them, then they are more likely to hook and listen to your following DHV loaded story. So as an example #1…
PUA: OPENER/FTC: Hey guys, just quickly…Is kissing cheating?
HB’s: blah blah blah
PUA: NEG: Hey, are those real nails? They look nice anyway.
PUA: OPENER CONTEXT: Its just my buddy’s girlfriend, she likes to get with other girls…etc.
HB’s: blah blah blah
PUA: FTC: Anyway, I gotta go, but I just noticed…
PUA: IVD: “Group cold read” - …something interesting about this group, well she seems like the mother hen, always looking after you all, you seem like the wild one…etc
HB’s: Blah blah blah
PUA: DHV Story #1: Respect. Actually though, you remind me of a girl I used to know…etc.
HB’s: blah blah blah
I’ve not included all the details of the routines, you could use any appropriate OPENERs/IVDs/DHVs, its just to demonstrate how despite human interaction being non-linear, you can control where the conversation goes by cutting their threads when they milk your topic and stacking forward to your next piece. They can be saying anything in the ‘blah blah blah’ areas, but in the end I’m gonna get my next important IVD/DHV piece across regardless. Another example…
PUA: OPENER/FTC: Hey guys, just quickly…Who lies more, men or women?
HB’s: blah blah blah
PUA: NEG: Hey, how short are you?
PUA: OPENER CONTEXT: I saw an article today talking about how often men / women lie…etc.
HB’s: blah blah blah
PUA: FTC: Anyway, I gotta go, but I just noticed…
PUA: IVD: ….You have a C shaped smile…etc
HB’s: Blah blah blah
PUA: DHV Story #1: Respect. Hey get this, last time I was in this place the craziest thing happened…etc
HB’s: blah blah blah
Straightforward and effective, first 5 or 6 minutes of the interaction accomplished time and time again.
In summary, its my view that a stack allows you to plan the early stages of your interactions, making them efficient by ensuring the set has heard your key leader/protector/pre-selection attraction material without you having to think too much about how to get this info across. I’ve found this can remove some of the variability of your first few hundred sets and frees you up to notice whats going on with body language, IOI’s, compliance levels etc.
Big Love,

How to Generate Your Own DHV Stories, With Examples.
One topic within the art of pick up that many new and experienced PUA’s find difficult is the creation of DHV routines. Luckily, we at Venusian Arts can reach deep into your background and experiences to help you bring forward the coolest things from your own life to talk about in set. Using your own stories means they are congruent with you, and therefore easier to convey with good delivery, passion and energy. This article is gonna show you how.
As a re-cap from the Mystery-Method, DHV stories are aimed at demonstrating the ‘key attraction switch’ flicking qualities of Leader / Protector / Pre-Selection / Successful risk taker / willingness to emote. There are others (well traveled, experienced etc) but these are the main things we should convey in A2 and beyond.
People sometimes think DHV stories need to be seriously hard hitting and jammed with very obvious DHV ’spikes’. For example…”hey get this, I just got back from Sydney, well the plane was late and my ex girlfriend, who was waiting at the airport for me was late for a modeling shoot, and already had a parking ticket on her Ferrari” [demonstrates
But you know, demonstrating attraction switches can also be as simple as saying something like “my ex-girlfriend called me, she was freaking out, I mean REALLY scared, so I got her to focus, I told her “listen to me babe, trust me, everything is gonna be fine”” [demonstrates pre-selection, protector and some leader qualities].
“I don’t have any DHV stories” is something I’ve heard more than anything from PUA’s since I’ve been teaching Game. Guess what? you all have experiences that can be turned into DHV stories, whether your 18 or 80. I’ll show you…lets get that grey matter working, get a pen and think of a time when you…
• Had something interesting, funny or unusual happen to you
• Were there for someone with a problem (friend had a dilemma, spoke to you for advice)
• Stood up and supported somebody (it was hard for him, so I stood up and said lets do this together. I mean my friends and I are totally there for each other)
• Calmed someone down (“she was really scared, I told her to focus on me and that everything would be ok”)
• Organized something for friends (holiday, away trip, day out etc)
• Were chased by a girl (“she was bombarding me with text messages”)
• Did something with a girl(s) (“My friend Jane and I went to….”)
• Took a beating for someone (It was gonna be bad, but we faced it together)
• Told somebody what to do (“they didn’t know what to do next, so I told them to…”)
Hopefully you get the picture of the sorts of questions you should be asking yourself, so we should have some stuff to work with now. With some thought, we can move from the output of these questions to a DHV story.
Example 1 BAD FLIGHT: I had some bad-ass turbulence on a flight once, everyone was screaming, very scary. I told a girl sitting next to me it’d be ok, even though I was crapping my pants LOL.
Wow something crazy happened to me on a flight to Hawaii recently, everybody is feeling relaxed, the stewardesses are serving drinks with their fake smiles going on. Anyway, then the plane starts to bounce, a little at first. Then more, people start to feel nervous. Suddenly it all kicks off, Bang, Bang, Bang, drinks everywhere, said stewardess off the ground, people start screaming. There’s a girl next to me in tears, I’m trying to keep her calm telling her it’ll all be fine. She starts to dig her nails into me! Next thing its all deathly calm and quiet. Severe turbulence the pilots said! After that we both ended up drinking our fair share of duty free a. to keep her nice and calm and b. for me to blank out the pain from where I’d allowed her to dig her nails!
Example 2 POLAND NOSE BREAK: I was out drinking with 2 women friends and had my nose broken in a street brawl. Got it fixed, it was all fine.
I was on holiday in Poland, my second home. I lived out there for a year when I was younger. Well I’d been drinking in a bar with a couple of girls I know. Anyway, one goes outside to order a taxi, and the second girl and I follow her soon after. Outside my friend is being hassled by these 3 drunken guys, I can sense her unease. So I roll over to see what’s happening and they hear me speaking, and presume I’m German, well Poles and Germans don’t always get along so a fight breaks out. When the dust settles, the girls are fine thankfully but my nose is broken. I’m like “ok hospital it is!” where the doc manually fixes my nose! Get this, he then takes out a mirror and says “Is that how it looked before? Well I don’t know, so I open the door and ask the girls and they are like, yeah babe it looks as good as before! LOL [ Protector / pre-selection / well traveled]
So you can see aspects of the questions I asked earlier drawn together in a number of life events, then with a little work these are pulled into DHV stories. The two above are real events from my life, about 90% factual with a sprinkling of embellishment for effect ;¬), and have been run successfully a thousand or more times in A2.
The second question I get asked a lot is “how do I bring these stories into the conversation?”. It’s EASY guys, here’s how. I use what I term “lead-in statements”, usually 2 or 3 sentences that can move the conversation from virtually any topic (routine or fluff!) into my story, examples below…
To get into BAD FLIGHT DHV ROUTINE-
I just noticed, you have a smile you can turn on and off on demand (neg)!
I bet you’d be awesome calming people down in a crisis
It reminds me of a time when…something crazy happened on a flight recently….
OR
I just noticed, are those real nails? (neg)
Ooh I get nervous around girls with nails like that LOL
Its just that…something crazy happened on a flight recently….
OR
Hmmm…I’m guessing you work as an air stewardess? Its just you are very well kept…and you have that ‘blonde’ look ;¬) (neg)
I bet you’d be awesome calming people down in a crisis though
Its like on this flight I had recently…something crazy happened…
So in summary, you’ve seen a couple of examples of DHV stories, how to generate them and how to bring them in to the conversation. Of course it takes practice, and delivery is soo important, but this should get you thinking. In future I’ll write about how we weave in Kino and compliance testing into our DHV stories, and remember that at bootcamps we spend time with you developing your personalized DHV’s, then perfecting them with you in-field.
Now I’m gonna open it up to you guys. Post back a couple of sentences briefly describing an event from your life and I’ll turn a few of them into DHV stories. Lets develop some material with which to rescue the bored HB’s of the world from being asked “do you come here often” and “what do you work as” ;¬). Lets do it brothers….

This one is an original that Prophet and I came up with after a night in the field. If we end up at home alone after a night in the field (it happens to the best of us), we always chill out for a bit and talk game like good wingmen should. I was talking about how I want to come up with a sweet little card trick gambit, but the problem with those is it that it looks incredibly try-hard to be carrying around a pack of cards everywhere you go.
That’s when we came up with the idea of creating the environment of role playing and having a shared reality by using invisible cards to perform a trick with your target. The idea is that you pretend to perform some dazzling magic trick with an imaginary set of cards, and depending on how the roleplay plays out, end it with a surprise finish that will get you big laughs (buying temperature) and a sense of connection with your target (from the roleplay itself).
All your going to need for this really good imagination and the ability to set the frame right, but if you want to add something really incredible, you’ll also need one joker in your pocket and the ability to make a card appear out of thin air.
You first introduce this by disqualifying yourself by saying something like “Now, I’m not too big on stuff with cards but work with me here for a sec. “ This is when you pretend to pull out a deck of cards and start to shuffle. You also usually want something like “work with me here” or “play along with me here” to let your target understand that she is to play the role of assistant to the trick and that she must play along.
Once you are finished “shuffling”, fan the “cards” in your hand and ask your target to pick a card. “Ok darlin’, pick a card, any card.” She will then pretend to pick one out of the deck.
SIDENOTE: If she does not play along at first, this is an IOD so you should send an IOD her way, cut the thread and move onto something else. Although neither of us have actually had this happen to us with this gambit yet, a good line to use when she refuses to buy into your frame is the classic “Oh my god, you can dress her up but you cant take her anywhere!”
Anyway….
Just like a magician would do with a real deck of cards, let her take the card and tell her not to show you the card and to memorize it. You can also let her know that she can show her friends the card if she wants. “Ok now keep it hidden and memorize your card. Create a mental image of it in your mind. You can show it your friends if you want to.” If the girl is accepting your frame she will just play along, even pretending to show her friends or even your wingman the imaginary card while whispering what it is into their ears. If this happens you can also say something to the friends like “Now if she cheats, you guys are going to tell me, right?” as a means of bringing the friends further into the conspiracy as well. Then say “Ok, now put the card back in the deck.” and let her pretend to put the card back.
After you tell her to remember what her card is get her to put it on the top of the deck, shuffle for a minute. Tell her to picture the card in her mind and pretend to concentrate yourself, as if you are tryng to read her mind. During this time you can even do another routine to really stack or maybe even qualify her a little. When you have finished shuffling simply throw the imaginary cards over your shoulder nonchalantly and say something like “okay, enough of those” or “aaaaaand there they go”. When your target looks confused, reach into a front pocket and pretend to pull out a card and ask her if it was her card with a playful smirk. At this point things could go a couple of different ways:
1. The girls might just figure you were messing with them the whole time and laugh, call you an asshole, and smack you (all of which are IOIs). Tease them for being so hands-on and then stack forward or qualify.
2. The girl might still play along and say yes it was her card, you can say “Ah, well it’s a gift! I didn’t even have to pay much for it either, I just had to talk to this guy named beazelbub…” and go off into Mystery’s line about printing a contract off of the internet, then stack into something else, qualify, etc.
3. The girl might shit-test you, or just want to be playful and tell her it wasn’t her card. If this happens, look at the card, then look at her, and then pretend to toss the card away in an animated “drama queen” kind of way, saying in a playful tone “Fine, fuck it. I’m not here to impress you anyway.” and then do a hardcore roll-off. Be careful however: If you miscalibrate this and it sounds like you are upset or reacting to the fact that she wasn’t playing along, you will loose value. But if you do this in a really over-the-top way, you will get big laughs and a serious buying temperature spike from the roll-off.
Alternatively, if you want to do something really explosive, you can pull a real card out of the air, causing everyone to loose their fucking minds! In order to do this, you will need to learn how to make a card appear in your hand. A quick search on youtube will give you ton of instructional videos. It’s actually very simple, but it’s dangerous because if anyone sees the card before you make it appear, they can ruin the entire gambit. If you’re going to do this, be sure to practice like crazy until you can do this fluidly and without even having to think about it.
When the girl tells you it wasn’t her card, pretend to toss the card away with one hand as described above while you prepare to unvanish the rea; card with the other. Say something like “Hmmm…well then I wonder if it’s this one?” and as you finish the sentence, pull the card out from behind her ear and show it to her. Speed is key here. If you do it quickly and naturally, the set will blow up. The shock of going from imagining that they are watching you play with cards to actually seeing you pull a real card seemingly out of thin air will cause them to shreik and laugh and go nuts. If you are worried about someone seeing the card, do it to whoever is on the most outside circle of the group so that nobody can see the backside of your hand, this is also a good way to get others involved in the set.  Say something such as “well perhaps it’s still in your head” or (looking at somebody else) “I think YOU have it” and pull it from behind her ear with the card well out of view from anyone else in the set until you pull it.
To add the icing to the cake, make sure the card you pull is a joker. Look at it with shock and say something like “What the - ? A Joker? You’re not even playing right!” or “that’s cheating!” and then roll off by saying something along the lines of “You know what, if you’re not going to play fair, I’m just gonna go home.” Again, if you do this really over-the-top way, you will get big laughs and a serious buying temperature spike from the roll-off.
The best part of this gambit is that even if you aren’t good at magic tricks you can still do this because you really aren’t doing anything. Hell, you don’t even have to guess what her card was because the card really doesn’t matter at all (although if you have to guess in a pinch, the Ace of Spades is usually the most picked imaginary card). It’s not the trick that’s important here, it’s the fact that you are leading the group, controlling the frame, and bringing everyone involved into a shared reality that you’ve created. It’s basically just a really in-depth roleplay with the added option of a real magic trick tagged onto the end. In fact, you’ll know you’re doing the gambit right when your target buys right into the frame and tells you that the imaginary card you showed her was, in fact, her card!
Try it out in the field, be sure to post any questions, and always keep your smile on.

Filed under Pick Up Lines and Routines
This is a particularly BRUTAL routine that I use when I meet an especially aggressive AMOG. I only use this for the guys that really need destroyed. However, it’s a neat little routine in that you can break it up and only use the pieces you need. As a whole, it’s a rather long piece to try to get out in a busy nightclub without getting interrupted, so you should only use the parts that are relevant to the situation.
First, read my little article on how to shake hands. All you’re really doing here is teaching the guy what I wrote about in that post while simultaneously framing him like a try-hard beta male. Just be sure you do this with an extremely friendly tone and a warm smile. You don’t want to come off harsh or like you’re obviously attacking him. You’re just teaching something to the group and showing the guy something cool, even though you’re really AMOGing him while leading the group (DHVing yourself while DLVing him).
There are two good ways to bring up this routine: either the AMOG will go to shake your hand and try to squeeze the fuck out of it to intimidate you, or, if he’s trying to AMOG you in other ways, you say “Man, you are a COOL guy. What’s you name?” and offer to shake his hand.
Note: sometimes a guy will refuse to shake your hand. He’ll just stare at you or say something lame like “I just washed my hands.” In this case, be completely unreactive. Just smile and keep your hand out, and occasionally look expectantly back and forth between him and your hand. As long as you are unreactive and smiling, the longer he goes without shaking your hand, the bigger a fool he will look. He becomes the social violator and ends up blowing himself out. After a while you can give up and say “Wow, you can dress him up, but you cant take him anywhere!” Problem solved. You don’t even need the rest. 
Most of the time, however, he will shake your hand and try to crush it. Especially if he’s bigger than you. But even if he doesn’t, you can still pretend that he did and carry on as normal.
Act like he was trying REALLY hard to squeeze your hand. Laugh and say “Woah! Easy there killer, don’t crush my hand!” Clap him on the shoulder (AMOGing him by putting your hands on him). “Damn man, you obviously work out!”
Then turn to the girls…
“You know, a lot of women don’t realize that when two males meet, the aspiring alpha male will try to show dominance over the alpha male by trying to squeeze the shit out of his hand. Just like how goats will but heads to compete for a mate. So what will happen is that one will really try to squeeze the others hand,” [during this, you can even do a little NLP gesture to show him as the beta, and yourself as the alpha]
[act this next part out, overemphasizing the effort you're putting into crushing someone's hand. This will frame your AMOG as a try-hard because you JUST called him out for doing exactly this]
“and then he’ll squeeze back harder and then the other will try even harder, and so on and so on”
[put your hand out and shake his hand again while you say this next bit, put on a shit-eating grin as you talk, as if you're pretending to smile while you're crushing his hand. DO NOT ACTUALLY TRY TO SQUEEZE HIS HAND - you're just pretending here]
“while they both just stand there smiling at each other like nothing is wrong at all. And this can go on for like, several minutes: these two guys just standing there trying to crush each other.”
[Then turn to the girls while still holding the guy's hand]
“But of course all the women ever see are two guys smiling at each other, and…you know…holding hands.”
[shrug a little here to show how ridiculous it is, then let go of him]
One of the great things about the bit above is that any time he tries to AMOG you again, you can continue to frame him as a try-hard beta by just turning to the girls and saying something like “See? Just like goats butting heads. So anyway…”
Now that you’ve framed the guy as a total try-hard and a beta male, you can go on and teach the guy how to properly shake hands (thus further showing dominance). Even though you just horribly tooled the guy, you are still smiling and wanting to teach him something because you still think he’s cool, which will make him look like a social violator if he gets all defensive.
“But you’re a cool guy, so I’m going to show you the proper way to shake someone’s hand so that kind of shit never has to happen.”
[Now you take his hand and show him how to point his index finger when he shakes hands]
“First, whenever you shake someone’s hand, point your index finger straight out, almost as if you are pointing at the other guy. When you do this, the other guy can squeeze your hand all he wants, and you’ll barely feel it. Go ahead and try it: squeeze as hard as you can.”
[He may try or he may not. Either way, he's playing into your frame and looks bad. Just make sure it looks like you don't feel anything. You probably wont feel any discomfort at all, but sometimes you run into some REALLY strong guys. Just laugh and say "See?"]
“Next, when you shake someone’s hand, turn your hand so that your is on top of his.” [Show him by doing this yourself]
[Now speak both to him and the girls, you want to set this frame in their minds as well]
“Spoken words only make up about seven percent of human communication. The rest comes from tonality and body language. People don’t realize it, but when they see two people shakes hands, they unconsciously consider whoevers hand is on top to be the more dominant person in the interaction. Isn’t that interesting?”
[pat the guy on the shoulder or something]
“So there you go! You never have to butt heads with anyone ever again.”
From there you can launch into anything else.
The beautiful part about this last bit is that not only are you teaching the AMOG something, but by showing how whoevers hand is on top is more dominant, you are also teaching the women in the group that you are, in fact, more dominant than him.
Again, this is a LONG routine, so you have to pick and choose what parts are relevant relevant to your situation.
Feel free to ask questions and enjoy!

Here’s a little gambit that I picked up from my wingman Changes.
Actually, he DID this to me without even realizing it and I decided to turn it into a gambit…but credit still goes to him.
First a disclaimer: you have to be sure that woman has the right personality for this. Usually you want someone who is playful and fun, and who will OBVIOUSLY know that this is a joke. As long as you’ve demonstrated the right amount of playfulness during the sarge, she should realize you’re just messing with her. But sometimes some women will take things the wrong way, so be very, VERY fucking careful.
I find that the best place for this is (at the very least) after you’ve already #-closed her and spoken to her on the phone at least once after that. She should be comfortable with receiving texts from you and is more than likely to respond if you send one. The purpose of this is just to demonstrate that you are fun and unpredictable, and it ALWAYS seems to get a reaction if you calibrate it right.
The gambit is pretty simple:
1. Send her a text that just says “Ho.”
2. Then immediately send her another one that says “Did I just send you a text that said ‘Ho’?”
3a. If she responds with yes, then respond with “Good :P”
3b. If she responds with anything else, send another text just saying “Ho.”, and then follow that up with “How about now? :P”
3c. On the odd occasion, you might get a response like “Yup! That’s me!”, in which case you can respond with “Good. Just checking. :P”
4. Then just stack forward to some more fun conversation, phone call, etc.
Words like “bitch”, “slut”, and “asshole” also work here, but you have to calibrate based on the culture and personality of the woman in question in order to make sure that she will immediately take the comment as a joke.
Play around with this and enjoy!
