So your single, shy and want to meet someone of the opposite sex. What do you do?
Typically singles go to bars and use cheesy pickup lines that rarely work. Instead use magic, it is the best ice breaker I know of.
Back in my single days I had a great magic trick that worked very well. Back then most people smoked cigarettes and Marlboro was a very popular brand. When I went to a bar I made sure I took a gimmicked Marlboro cigarette.
I took the tobacco out of the cigarette and filled it with a rolled up five dollar bill. When I saw a beautiful girl I wanted to meet I would watch and see when she took a cigarette out. I would palm my gimmicked cigarette and approach her and ask if I could bum a smoke. They almost always hand you one.
I then do a switch for the gimmicked one and try to light it. I would then complain something like “Yuck, what’s in this cigarrette you gave me?” She would look at me and wonder what the hell I was talking about. I would then, right in front of her eyes, tear the cigarrette open and reveal the five dollar bill. I would then remark, “Here, I don’t need this, buy yourself a drink.” I would hand her the bill and then I would just walk away.
Girls love a man of mystery and now she’s wondering, who the hell was that, she was also amazed, and finally she got free money and all women love that. So now I had her interest peaked.
Some time later I would walk by her again and most of the time they will stop me and want to start talking to me. If she doesn’t notice me I may walk back over to her later and ask her how the drink was and that’s all it takes for her to start asking how I did it and if I can stay and do another.
That’s the invitation you are waiting for to spend more time with her.
If your single and shy, give magic a try the next time you see someone you want to meet.

Now you can perform magic so mind blowing, your audience will see it, but they still won’t believe it. You can do it anytime and anywhere. Best of all it won’t cost you a cent and is such an easy magic trick, you’ll be up and performing within minutes of learning the secret. Let me reveal with you a trick that fits the bill perfectly and packs a big punch.
A volunteer is invited to sit on a chair on stage. As you talk to
them, they begin to feel heavier as if they were turning to stone. You
ask them to rise from their chair but they are unable to do so.
As described, your volunteer takes a seat on stage. You walk around them chanting “Relax, relax in that comfortable chair, feel the power drain from your body. Your body gets heavier by the second, heavier and heavier as if your whole body is turning to stone”. You end your chant standing in front of your volunteer.
As you stand there you place your forefinger on the volunteer’s forehead. “When you feel the touch of my finger your whole body becomes heavier. Your arms and legs become weak. This pressure on your forehead is becoming ever greater. So great that it glues you to the chair.”
You then ask, them to try and stand. They will struggle and try but the whole time you must keep your finger pressed to the volunteer’s forehead. They will be unable to stand as long as you keep the pressure of your finger on their forehead. The pressure keeps them from being able to gain balance and to get out of the chair.
To let them get up, remove your finger from their forehead while chanting to the effect of “The pressure of my finger is releasing, as it does so the heavy weight also disappears. The strength returns to your body and you’re able to stand. Rise and stand now please.
Now that you know the secret to this wonderful, yet easy magic trick, I suggest you take it and a few other tricks that use the body (Shinkoh’s Twisting Arm, or perhaps a levitation routine) and create a thirty-minute act out of them.
