Program Review for Mystery by Gish, Chicago Bootcamp

[Editor: This testimonial was written by a student of Mystery's, about an experience that he had on a live program with Mystery. At the time, Mystery's company was called "The Mystery Method" -- even when he was teaching it by himself in Canada -- and he also referred to his method by that same name. And so you can see that this student's original writing references that name (Mystery Method). However, Venusian Arts is a new company, unaffiliated with the old Mystery Method corp. Venusian Arts features Mystery, Matador, and Lovedrop, and Venusian Arts does not teach the mystery method. It has developed and teaches new and improved seduction methodology. We want to make it clear that the below testimonial is not a Venusian Arts testimonial. But it is a real and historical student testimonial, written by a student who studied and trained with Mystery in the field. The student owns the copyright to this testimonial and it is reprinted here with permission.] 

 Hi guys

A little about me:

I got out of a serious 6 year relationship about 4 years ago with a HB8.5. I'm Asian, 5'4'', not much physically to look at. I lurked on mASF from last summer to this summer and stopped due to major sticking points andfrustrations. While I was lurking, a friend (who introduced me to mASF) and I went out on average of 3 times a week to sarge. The results were verysporadic, mixed, and honestly pretty poor.

I really enjoy this community – it has so many personalities, nuggets of wisdom, and support.. I had always been a DIY kind of guy, but I decided I need professional help with my game. I've never attended any other seminars or read anything up to this point except for mASF articles.

I signed up for Mystery Method, both the seminar and the workshop. Payment plan was flexible and easy, and the scheduling and logistics went smoothly. I'm not going to cover every detail of the 3 days, because other reviews cover the topic, so I'll cover some highlights and personal observations. I'll also tell you guys this..if I can do it, anyone can. So let's see what happened…

Day1
This day was really about two main things: the philosophy and the complete structure/process of the pickup. It's great to see Mystery's view on the PU as a great upward spiral on how this skill will motivate you to improve other areas of your life which will in turn motivate you to become better at the game. This re-frame helps you then take the process, which is broken down into manageable pieces, and view it as almot like exercise or workout routines.

By the way, each of our class sessions went at least 7.5 hours and most went over that. Same to be said for the workshops – I was out with Mystery and Style until 3-4 AM on Friday and Saturday.

I think a lot has been said about Mystery, but I really didn't have toostrong of an opinion one way or the other before going into the seminar. That being said, now I can say that Mystery is a cool guy. He has a great and valuable skill and he clearly values himself. But he isn't snobby or condescending in any way, and I felt like truly wanted to help all of the students. He is actually an intellect, who has analyzed, studied and then mastered the craft and now is sharing it with his students.

Now I don't know why anyone would sign up for the classroom, and not take the field study (workshop). That's where the rubber meets the road. In fact, I would never take a class where the teacher didn't practice what hepreaches. So, on to the 1st night…

Workshop1
Night one took place in a cool downtown Chi-town club. I get there early and did two warmups. The first was a two-set with a B7 and a HB8. Now I'm really rusty as I haven't been sarging for two months. I didn't get blown out, but I just fizzled. Next thing I know Mystery show ups along with Style. With hindsight, I can say Mystery will only go for the hottest girls in the place. He is as good as everyone says he is. More on thatlater…

Honestly, one of my big concerns was that there would be very little I could learn from Mystery's style, who is tall as fark, because I'm not that tall. Certainly height is one of the factors, but Mystery demonstrated his process and showed me where the control lies..in the process itself. Now Style was also out with us and I'm glad Mystery invited him out. He is a cool guy as well and I felt like his energy and style aligned more w/ mine. Anotherbenefit for me/the other students is you can see two different styles from two different people. applied to the same process with the same results. I will say I was very impressed and amazed, and that is a rarity for me. The goal for the night (for me anyway) was to make it to Step4 of the process, nail it down, and make it repeatable. After watching Mystery and Style and them observing me, I got great feedback on my mistakes as well as my good points….great BL, good energy, good motivation,not kino escalating, not negging at the appropriate time/place which really equated to interest(LBJF) but not attraction. And now for the amazing part of the night…We had been in class since 1pm and now it was nearly 2 or 3 am. I opened up a 6 set ranging from B7-HB9. I was doing ok, but it was a lot for me and I was nearly exhausted. I then turned to Mystery and asked him to takeover the set. When all was said and done Mys and Style had the complete 6 totally engaged and mesmerized. Any other HB in the vicinity or walking by waswatching and fully giving IOIs, plus Mys had gotten a girl from a previous night involved in the jealousy plotline. The funniest part was when an HB9.5 came into the room, stood 4-6 ft away from Mys, turned her back towards him, put her hands in her back pocket and dropped her pants like 3 inches to the point most of her ass was showing. I don't know how he missed that lol. It was truly a work of art to see the guys in action and they owned the club. It was getting late, and they could have closed the deal, but it was aworkshop. We actually went to another quieter place and I got to see Mys and Style perform one set each as well as me doing one. They were cool enough to give me a ride back and gave me debriefing on all of their sets and mine.

Day2
We were debriefed on the night's work and given material (routines). We went through the PU process in its entirety with specifics. We also went through group theory and adv. GT. The material was good and it's likegetting a starter kit to get you through the process. I was also beginning to internalize a lot of the previous day/night's learning.

Night2
This night we would be doing more sets. We met in a yuppie bar which is cool, because it's it a completely different type of venue from theprevious night. When I arrive Mys quickly pulled me into a 3 set with the target being an HB 8.5 in my eyes. Talk about no time to think. He had me do the Peg System on the target, and now I can see how key momentum really is. I saw Mystery work on 4 or 5 of the hottest ones there of course, but I also got to see him open a HB9.5 (if not10) who was with her bf and another guy. Man did those guys looked like tools at the end of that one. This really helped affirm my beliefs that this game can be played by anyone. I was on set 4 or so when I decided I wanted to approach a 6 set of HBs, target was HB9. I informed Style of this and he helped me with the approach byhaving/making me walk by there with him, which he quickly kept proceeding and told me to dive in. I think 'GO!" was his exact word. It was likejumping out of a plane lol. Now this is a first for me…I entered the set, and was in and running it well. I ended up changing target because it was a big set and it was eaier to isolate the 2nd new target. Some of thehighlights were I got 3 of them dancing around me, the HB9 rubbing herself on me, grabbing all of their asses, and making out with one of the girls. Honestly the results were good even after the HB9's boyfriend and another guy showed up. I could have bounce with them to the next place, but I really needed practice lol. When we decided to split ways the secondary target(lol) forced her number onto me like she was scared she was not going to see me again. Mys and I headed to another location where Style, MadRush, and the other students were. Style and MadRush already had theirs for the night. Really, more of the same. It's funny how when you get good at something or exposed to something (not saying that I'm good), how it becomes 'ordinary'.

Day3
I ran one hour late for the session. That day we went through LMRtactics and personalization of individual styles. It is an area of work for me. The funny thing is two of the other students, who I were moreconservative, ended up getting good ideas to convey they individuality. Mys helped me sort alot of my individuality issues up and gave me greatpointers, but it also highlights an area that I need to invest in. Basically I come off as too generic and asexual, which I subconsciously knew, and now I totally realize.

Night3
Totally exhausted by now. (no wonder they call it a bootcamp), but I'm soldiering on. The memorable thing for the night was not Mys'performance (which was good) nor mine (which was fine), but one of the other students. He approached a solid HB9 and I would have been impressed if he lasted two minutes. He actually isolated her and had her for at least 10, if not 15. Mystery emphasized mixed sets and I got into one right away,Actually the girl opened me, and I think it had to do primarily w/ my body language. She kept pushing into me and I wasn't budging. I befriended the guys, their bfs btw, and they actually gave took my phone and put theirnumbers into it. I got alot of kino from the girls. I also opened a single HB8.5, this time concentrating on the process. I was surprised to havegotten so far so fast w/her and blew it when I didn't realize I was inrapport in less than 2 minutes lol. I should have slowed it down. Well,guess what..that is another 1st for me, and I get a hint of when Mystery says getting better at the game introduces a new set of problems. I actually left early because it was a Sunday night, and when I got home I was thinking about how dumb it was for me to leave when I have the best PUA I've ever seen and met in a bar with me and how I should have stuck it out. In any case, I was very happy with my learning curve this weekend. Oh btw, another thing I noticed that night is that there were at least 4-6 'really' good looking guys in the club just sitting at tables, w/ very alpha BL and all, but they were not getting ANYTHING. that is to say, they had no game and thus had no results.

The Mystery Method in summary is highly highly recommended by the gish. The caveat is that you get out what you put in. It is alot of information but it is broken down to very manageable pieces. I believe in the process, even though it still surprises me lol. Mystery and Style are good people. They not only taught me, but hung out as well — I feel like they invested in me as much as I did in the MM. I take this seriously now, and I also understand how the game can make me into a better-rounded person.

So, this is not the end, and I want to become more involved in thiscommunity. I have made a list of thing I need to achieve and I will hold myself personally responsible for making it happen. I will probably ask for help and support along the way, and hope to give back as well… My next post will be in missions…
