For a very long time, I've been watching videos on YouTube of some pickup artists approaching girls on the streets. Some of them showed magic, others made it funny by making the conversation awkward... And so on and so forth.

To be honest, I loved what they were doing but never really had the balls to do it.

A side note, I've been a magician for four years and been contemplating starting my YouTube channel wherein I perform magic in the public and approach girls and that kind of crazy exciting stuff.

So with being exposed to that kind of content on regular basis, and after swallowing the pill and becoming more interested in delayed-gratification activities, I finally decided to make this YouTube channel my life mission and launched it 3 days ago. Mind you, the rest of the post is about what happened during these 3 days.

The decision to launch the channel was fucking nerve-wrecking. I legit couldn't handle it anymore so I fucking broke my streak of 3 weeks of NoFap. After launching my first video and posting about it in Facebook, however, it all vanished.

The second day, I woke up dreaming of how my YouTube channel is going to be in the future and what success I'll be enjoying. It got me so fucking pumped, and so fucking excited, that I couldn't do anything but to think about going out there and STARTING ACTUALLY APPROACHING GALS.

It was fucking weird. It's like I stopped giving a fuck. Totally.

So I took my tripod and my phone and went to one of the busiest city squares. One girl spotted sitting alone, decision to approach her happened.

"Hello, do you speak English?" I said, since not everyone here can. "Yes, I do. How can I help you?" A local. Could tell from the accent. "I'm a magician and do magic for YouTube and was wondering if I could show you some magic tricks. Do you mind?" I responded. Too much bullshit. "Actually, yes, I do mind. I'm sorry", while looking away. "Alright, no problems, have a nice day" while from the inside screaming in agony, "OUUUUCHHHHHHHHHHH!".

First approach in my magic career? REJECTION. Tbh, it started getting through to me that I may not be the actual man for the job (I got this drama queen shit going on) but held my composure and approached a different girl.

I noticed that I was speaking really fast in the first attempt, so I slowed the fuck down. Furthermore, my voice was that nice guy high pitched squeak, so made sure to have a deeper voice and most importantly, no smiley face. I thought, "What would Chad do?" And acted accordingly. "Do you mind?" Why am I even giving her the choice? I said to myself.

So I approached the next girl and said,

"Hey, I wanna show you some magic, pick a card" and spread a fan of cards in front of her. She turns to me, gives me the bitch face and says, "I don't have any money," and goes back to her phone.

With this girl, I went from Chad to the betast bitch you could ever imagine, "What? Money? I'm not begging for money! I'm doing this for YouTube!" I got so defensive whereas I should"ve remained calm and cool. She looks at me and gleefully smiles. She said nothing but was holding eye contact, like "Leave already". It's like she relished seeing me losing my frame.

Lost case. Wished her a nice day and walked away.

This one stroke me right in dem feels. Taking me for a fucking begger? How dares she? Do I look that bad? Am I that unitdy? Or is it because I'm slightly browner than the average locals since i'm not from here? And such negative thoughts were racing in mind.

I took my bike and biked through the city to a different square. During the whole way, I kept thinking about what had just happened. And when I reached the new square, I remembered some bro on trp who showed me love after writing a post whining about how people didn't respect me in some office situation. He said something in the lines of, "...TRP stresses a DGAF attitude and this post is basically you admitting that the whole office environment broke your frame. You are an unshakeable oak tree friend. Your appearance only kinda matters and if you know how to play the game it doesn't matter." -russbussdp

That's when I remembered trp teachings and slowly I overcame that rejection and I stopped giving a fuck.

Rejecting is a big part of the game. Obviously, the girls who rejected were MANY MANY MORE than the girls who were interested. And from the latter, the ones that were sexually interested were a lot fewer than those who weren't. So if you get rejected, fuck it, fuck her, and fuck the rest of them. Move on.

Abundance mentality. If it didn't work with some girl, it'll work with the other. And if it worked with the other, try with some other one. The more the merrier, boyz!

So back to the actual field report.

Another girl spotted in the new square. Approached.

"Hey, I'm a magician and was wondering if I could show you some card tricks".

"Actually, I don't have any money, sorry". Ikr. What the fuck. But thinking about it, there are some scammers in this city so they might actually be doing it as a preventive attempt.

This time I smiled and said, "I'm not doing this for money, I'm doing it just for fun. I actually have a YouTube channel".

"Oh you do? Well, in that case, show me then!"

And holly shit. Couldn't feel fucking better. I felt like a god. I felt like one of those pickup artists.

I started doing her the magic tricks and after finishing we had a small talk. She asked questions to which I asked back, but didn't manage to get her contact cuz didn't aim to in the first place. Thanked her for being a good spectator and fucked off.

After this, I had this incredible confidence boost. I cold-bloodedly approached EVERY. FUCKING. GIRL. SLASH. BOY. IN. THE. SAUARE. I totally forgot about YouTube and just started approaching.

I went like a maniac from one person to another and what do you know? Two hot tourist girls agreed. I did them the tricks and after that, one of them was clearly interested. She had that relaxed face and was asking me questions. But was still too anxious to ask for her contact. So I left.

I approached other girls but they weren't that interested in anything more than the tricks. It's like after finishing they thanked me and went silent waiting for the next trick or something.

Today was the 3rd day since I launched my YouTube channel. After swallowing the pill, my objective was to fucking approach every fucking girl that my eyes laid on. To a certain extent. I mean if the circumstances happened to be right, why not?

Was shopping today and stopped at some park to eat my peanuts snack. Fucking love them. I'm eating and drinking a 2L water bottle like a primitive savage when I spotted some girl sitting on the grass with her phone. I finished eating and brought my deck of cards out and was heading to her while anxiety kicks in like a bitch. I think this happened because I meditated approaching her while eating. Always approach as soon as you get the haunch to do so. And if the girl spotted you, you're already playing against time. The more time you take to decide whether you approach her or not, the weaker you are in her eyes. Luckily, this one didn't spot me.

I hesitated it for a second, then i remembered a pickup artist who said something like, "If you see some girl that you want to approach, draw a line between you two and only work on making it shorter". And I also kept thinking about how almost there are no men nowadays approaching girls in public and how by cold approaching girls in public places I'd stand out of the herd.

And that's exactly what I did. I drew a line between her and myself, kept thinking about standing out of the herd, and stepped on the grass not giving a fuck about the walking pathways in the park and went STRAIGHT TO her. I was shaking, a bit nervous, but fuck it.

"Hey, I'm a magician, mind if I join you and show you some of my tricks?" Fuck. Still sound nice. Gotta work on that.

Bitch face "What?"

"I do magic tricks, and thought why not showing you some?" while demonstrating my stylish deck of cards.

"Ah! Alright." Takes headphones off

She gives me a scan and her face transformed to that relaxed state. Especially after the first trick lol. This girl was like the previous one. After finishing with the tricks, she started a small talk and was asking me questions.

I got anxious again (always occurs after finishing my tricks). Managed to hold the conversation for a few minutes, thanked her for her time, and went away.

Guys I can't believe this is happening. I'd never have imagined that I'm capable of actually approaching girls in public. Jesus.

However, from what you've just read, do you have some tips, advice on how to improve my approaching skills? I tried using her cues as a fuel for the conversation and it worked. Other that, do you guys have other advice?

EDIT: Also, one very important pattern that I noticed occuring during this few-hours experiment is that girls went from "How did you do it? Where did you learn it? What's the secret?" To "Where are you from? What are you studying? How old are you?". While swallowing the pill and before lifting, was a bit chubby, I approached a few girls but the experience was below average. I didn't look that attractive, didn't dress up well, and seemed as if I were a beta guy who just happened to do magic. Nothing interesting going on with him. After finishing with my tricks, girls don't really know what to say or what to talk about with me so they just start talking about the tricks. However, now,I dropped 5 kilos since then, and I look a lot better. While showing them the tricks, I lowkey tell them I'm running this YouTube channel, BITCH LOOK AT ME, I'VE GOT MY OWN WORLD GOING ON IN HERE, it kinda makes them wet and the iOis I got were never really expected.

Get yourselves a mission, boys. It's not about girls, it's really about self-enhancement. 3 days into my channel and look what happened. A girl from my blue-pilled days hit me up saying she missed my tricks lol. It's true goddamn it. If you got your own world going on, girls will just want to tag along!

EDIT2: The comment section is full of golden advice, thank you so much, guys. This community truly is life-changing.
