Bootcamps You can learn from highly-trained Mystery Method Master instructors - live! Imagine spending 25-30 hours over a weekend with the world's top pickup artists, who will teach you everything from how to attract beautiful women in any situation to how to find and get the type of long-term girlfriend you want. At a bootcamp, you get to see and hear our techniques - many of which are brand new and not available online or in any other program. You get to us approach random women, even ones you pick out for us, live, so you can learn how it works in the real world, not in someone else’s theory. In these unscripted interactions with multiple beautiful women, The Mystery Method is put to the test every night of every program. Not only do we prove that it works; we’ll show you how it can work for YOU.

The Mystery Method's world-famous bootcamps, as written up in the New York Times, Saturday Night Magazine, and elsewhere.  Click here for a full list of Mystery Method media mentions. The Bootcamp consists of two components:

1)The Seminar
2)The Workshop

The bootcamp is a live program, taught in person. It's unfortunate that many brilliant subtleties cannot be expressed in text, no matter how great the author. Just like the martial arts – you need to learn the theory and practice somewhere safe, and then go into the arena and see how you measure up. Our arena is clubs, bars, restaurants and lounges, and our instructors are there every step of the way with you. We will teach you to be expressive, peacock, naturally approach, open groups (with men in them), act enthusiastically, and know what to say and how to say it. You can only mentally rehearse with your eyes closed so much before you have to get on the road.

Bootcamp Course Outline Description
I.The Seminartop
 

The Seminar is the building block for all Mystery Method programs - including our advanced and specialty programs. In an intense but informal environment with a small group of students and instructors (usually no more than 8-10 students), Master Instructors provide comprehensive training in the Mystery Method, using lectures, demonstrations, and interactive participation. In approximately 20 hours of daytime instruction, you will learn a comprehensive toolkit that can be used in a variety of social situations to befriend or attract and seduce complete strangers. This seminar does not presuppose prior knowledge of the Mystery Method, but even for those familiar with our techniques or online posts will find almost all of the material presented to be new and original.

The Bootcamp is not remedial life coaching. Almost all of our students tend to be cool guys who generally have their lives together, who are looking to either improve in this one area, get more options, or work towards mastery. Previous students have included minor celebrities and multimillionaires. You don't have to be a celebrity to fit in, but you should have a career, solid goals, friends you enjoy, hobbies, and some interests in the world beyond the venusian arts. That's the kind of raw material we can work with.

The Seminar takes place in a professional, comfortable setting, usually a hotel conference room, over the course of a weekend and includes all three days.

The Seminar can be taken separately as well, though most people choose to take it as part of the bootcamp. If time, money, or age (you need to be legal age for bars and lounges to go to the workshop) prevent you from attending the full bootcamp, you can attend the seminar by itself for $950. The money-back guarantee applies to the seminar-only option and this includes 6 months of access to our private, members-only Lounge - off limits to anyone who has not taken a bootcamp with us.

 
A.Day 1 (2pm - 7pm)top
1)Structure 
 

Understanding structure is crucial. Many students come to our program with a variety of ideas and possibilities that they've used on women in the past, with little sense of their proper organization. A particular story or technique may do wonders for you in one segment of your interaction with a woman but fall flat - or make her run away - if used at a different point in the interaction. Using "The Emotional Progression model" from "Magic Bullets" we teach you how and why different pieces work at different stages of the pickup. We also break the pickup down to manageable chunks. For example, your first objective when seeing a social group which includes a woman in whom you are interested is not to sleep with her, but simply to open. We teach you what opening is, how to know when it's time to open, and when you know that you've successfully opened - and can move into the next stage: attraction. We do the same for attraction. And so on, for qualification, comfort, until we hit all of the phases. Now you'll have a plan and you know what to do and why the Mystery Method works.

 
 
a)The mindset of a Venusian Artist, and how to practice the game. 
b)Letting go of outcome: how to handle approach anxiety and "rejection." 
c)The concept of solid game vs. Fool's Mate ("getting lucky") 
d)The structure of the pickup. (Diagrammed.) 
e)The 7 steps from meeting a woman to the beginning of a sexual relationship 
f)How to isolate and extract the woman you want from her friends and the meeting location 
g)The proper way to get phone numbers 
h)Discovering that most numbers are actually flakes . . .and how to fix this issue.
i)How to handle phone calls and dates 
 
2)Approachingtop
 

How to approach - it looks easy but it's not. There are a lot of subtleties that go into this - and the first few seconds can make or break the whole interaction. With years and years of experience teaching men around the world, we are familiar with most techniques and common successes or failures and can elevate this stage of your game quickly.

 
 
a)Using the 3-second rule to minimize fear
b)How to know when women are signaling you to approach 
c)Common approaching mistakes 
d)How not to telegraph fear, interest, or creepiness 
e)How to unlock a group and engage them in conversation 
f)Various openers: Situational openers, canned openers, etc. 
g)How to make your own openers 
h)Using False Time Constraints 
i)How to use proper body language and tonality when approaching 
j)How to open seated and moving sets 
k)Differences between daytime and nighttime approaches 
 
B.Day 2 (2pm - 7pm)top
1)Attraction 
 

Attraction is not a choice. You can attract virtually any woman. Creating attraction does not mean you can begin a sexual relationship - remember, this is till just phase 2 - but we show you how consistently easy it can be with practice. Turning the right "switches" in a woman's emotional circuitry will create attraction every time - even if a woman is out with her friends, significant other, or not looking to meet someone. 

 
 
a)The characteristics of an Attractive Male: How to BE attractive 
b)Understanding and systematically turning on her attraction switches 
c)How to master story-telling 
d)Demonstrating Higher Value: How to quickly create powerful attraction 
e)Using Neg Theory to disarm targets and create attraction 
f)Conveying sexuality without sexual neediness 
g)Indicators of Interest (IOIs): What they are and how to test for them 
h)Solving Incongruence: How to make other people's proven material sound like your own 
i)Take-aways: Creating a fear of loss to make her realize she is attracted to you 
j)Using "Lock-In" props 
k)How to use Body Rocking and False Disqualifiers to make the target chase you 
l)The power of enthusiasm: It's contagious! How to elicit the emotion in others 
m)How to develop trust, desire, sexual tension, and intrigue 
 
2)Group Theorytop
 

Since women of particular beauty and high social status are rarely found alone, the Mystery Method incorporates methods for attracting them from within their own peer groups. Approaching women who are only alone reduces your opportunities considerably as well as your power to attract them.

 
 
a)Understanding and using Social Proof
b)How to befriend (disarm) your target's peer group to establish peer approval
c)Holding Court in a group: Cutting threads and using Multiple Conversational Threads
d)Merging groups for social power: Forward and Backward Merging
e)Various game plans: singles, 2-sets, groups, and merged groups
f)Advanced Social Dynamics: How to isolate your target from her peers
g)How to approach mixed-sets (groups with women and men)
h)Dealing with Alpha Males in social situations
i)Various blocking and entry maneuvers for various sets
j)Pawning: How to increase your social value to attract the hottest women
k)Using Jealousy Plots and Drama to amplify responses
l)The power of enthusiasm: It's contagious! How to elicit the emotion in others 
 
3)Qualificationtop
 

Stage 3 of the Mystery Method model is qualification. After you have opened the group and created attraction, you need the woman you are interested in to work to obtain your interest. Skipping this step does not work, and results in a lot of failures that confuse men today. If you've ever been in a situation where you've said "she was so into me, and then all of a sudden - nothing" it's likely because you failed to qualify. You didn't present enough of a challenge or give her a believable reason - other than her looks - why you are interested in her. Don't fall into this trap!

 
 
a)How to disarm a beautiful woman's sexual power with Active Disinterest
b)Hoop Theory: Controlling the Frame of the interaction
c)Using the Bait/Hook/Reel/Release model
d)The right way to convey interest in her - and the right time
e)How to make your target feel that she has won you over
f)Compliments: How to give a woman Ibis she will appreciate
g)How to approach mixed-sets (groups with women and men)
 
4)Rapport, Comfort & Trust, and Intimacytop
 

This is where the game is won or lost with women of exceptional quality. Don't skip the three stages of comfort, or you'll be perceived as a "player".

 
 
a)Establishing conversational rapport to create Comfort and Trust
b)Demonstrating vulnerability through "accidentally revealed" sensitivity
c)Exchanging commonalities - various effective routines
d)How to establish an emotional connection
e)The Punishment/Reward tactic and the power of Freeze-Outs
f)Transitioning from Comfort and Trust to Intimacy
g)The devastating "almost kiss" tactic: How to make a woman need you to kiss her
h)How to test if a woman is ready to be kissed
i)How to begin a make-out with her - And when to push her away
 
5)Routinestop
 

Have you ever been talking with a woman in whom you are interested, and "run out of things to say"? Or said the wrong thing? We'll fix that problem once and for all on Day 2 of the seminar. We give you enough material to last over 10 hours of conversation - more than enough to begin a sexual relationship (in fact, as we explain in the seminar, if you take significantly longer than 10 hours to get there, you are very likely to be put in let's-just-be-friends zone). Below is an example of the types of routines and material we teach.

 
 
a)The Photo Routine: Convey an hours worth of talk in one minute
b)The Digital Photo Routine: How to make out with a girl in under a minute
c)The Snatch Routine: A speed and dexterity demonstration routine - great for making her guy friends look up to you
d)The Spell of Attraction routine
e)The Anything Game
f)The Choose Gino gambit
g)The Peg System
g)The Question Game
g)Other field-tested routines. Sometimes different routines get substituted for the ones above depending on students' skills and interests
 
C.Day 3 (2pm - 7pm)top
1)Image & Identity 
 

The Mystery Method is designed for the most attractive and exceptional women. Our experience is that you cannot get - or if you can get, you cannot hold - such a woman unless you have a coherent, convincing identity that is on one hand interesting and exciting to your ideal woman, and on the other hand, congruent with you really are. Women can smell incongruence a mile away, so part of image-building is reality - you may need to change your lifestyle to attract the woman you want. Until then, we teach you to fake it 'til you make it, and we teach you - when you do make it - how to convey it.

 
 
a)Building a powerful, congruent identity - and conveying it effectively
b)Your Image: personalized fashion consultation
c)Creating a Grounding Routine, personalized to your identity
d)Peacock Theory: How to demonstrate confidence through clothing
 
2)Seductiontop
 

Seduction is where you absolutely do not want to fail, after you've put in a few hours to pass through the three phases of attraction and the three phases of comfort. If you lose here, you have to start again with someone else. Learn to approach this step with confidence and a mastery of proven techniques. Has an interaction or date with a woman ever been totally "on" until you get to the point where it would escalate - but doesn't? Resolve now to banish that problem forever. Day 3 of the seminar will be the first day of your new skill.

 
 
a)How to isolate from "comfort location" to "seduction" location
b)Re-establishing comfort in the seduction location
c)Overcoming Last Minute Resistance: Various effective tactics
d)First-time sex methods to ensure a second time

II.The Workshoptop
 

A Mystery Method workshop is utterly unique. The workshop is comprised of two basic elements: demonstration and practice.

Demonstration is crucial. If you don't know what "good" looks like, then you won't know how to model it. Everything from body language, to sequencing, to tonality, to social intuition can be broken down, copied, and integrated in your own style. You will see us approach and meet beautiful women and demonstrate techniques for your benefit. You will have the opportunity to watch (or even be in the same social group) and to ask specific questions about each interaction afterward.

Practice is the flip slide of the coin. Trained and experienced Mystery Method instructors will observe your interactions over the course of a night, and give you solid, practical, and usable feedback. We don't sugar-coat our advice - we don't have time to do that and to teach you everything you need to know. Over two nights, we will go from observing your "natural" or pre-existing game to coaching you as you integrate different elements of Mystery Method into your style and personality. By the end of the program, you should know exactly where you are succeeding and failing, and what you need to do for the next few weeks. And you won't be doing alone - you'll have joined the Mystery Method community, and will have access - through the Lounge - to talented instructors and former students. Share your experiences, help others, and seek advice. We're all in this together.

In going out with the Mystery Method instructors, we will teach the difference between our method and individual instructors' style. The Method is something we all follow - and consists of a structure and set of powerful techniques and principles. This is something we all share. However, the style of each individual instructor is unique to him, as yours should be unique to you. You will see a variety of unique styles that each instructor has individually put together to express his personality and identity. Our job is not to create clones, but to convey your unique personality and identity.

There is no set curriculum for the workshop. We try to keep it flexible and responsive to what we see that individual students need. Because we keep a small student-instructor ratio (usually no more than 2.5-1 and often significantly less)

 
A.Day 1: Demonstration Night (Evening)top
 

Before we go out (or when we arrive at the venue), we will go over how to watch a master venusian artist in the field, and what to look for. We have developed innovative ways that you can observe a pickup in progress, from start to finish, without contaminating the interaction. In some interactions, an experienced instructor will even give you a play-by-play as to exactly what is happening in another instructor's set, and, more importantly, why it is happening. Past students have observed, for example, successful pickups of supermodels, well-known actresses, and threesomes. Although highly entertaining in itself ("worth the price of admission", according to a recent testimonial), this is done for a purpose - our experience has shown that students who have observed masters in action learn quicker and develop fewer bad habits than those who do not. Don't let the fun and entertainment distract you from the main purpose. The first night may be intimidating. Many who are not familiar with the Mystery Method often are surprised and thrown off-balance by the demonstration of what is possible. Have you ever seen a man walk up to a group of 5 men and 1 stunning woman, isolate that woman from her group (with the approval and encouragement of her male friends) within 5 minutes, and eventually leave with her alone? You probably have - and you probably assumed that the man in question knew the group beforehand. Here's a secret: he probably didn't. He was just using (whether he knew it or not), the techniques of the Mystery Method. But here's where it gets special - all of the instructors were once students (and we treat all students as if we are training them to be instructors...we have to, or where would our future instructors come from?). So anything they can do, you can do. How do we know this? Because they were once in your shoes. Practice and learn, and you can be in theirs. The second night is also the most individualized. We begin with all students running sets - alone, with other students, or with instructors. Over the course of the night, different instructors will watch you to get you on course for the next step in your game - practicing. We'll help you understand what the most important elements are for you and where you need to go next. By this point in the bootcamp, you should have enough of an understanding of social dynamics and the Mystery Method to be able to critically watch other students - and other men "in the game" at the venue. Doing this with an instructor is a great way to accelerate your learning process - if you are able to see strengths and weaknesses in another man's game, you will not be a great wingman, but you will also be better able to see those same positives and negatives in your own development.

 
B.Day 2: Armed and Dangerous (Evening)top
 

After the second day of the Seminar, you will be armed to the teeth with Mystery Method structure, tactics, and techniques. Now it's time to put it in play. This is the night where students build on their performance from the previous night and target more makeouts, dates, and "pulls" (going home with a woman). Every student will be given personalized instruction and feedback on their game and how they are applying the Mystery Method. This is the night where you will learn your first "sticking points" - where it is that things go wrong. We will work to overcome these, and then as your game improves, the next ones will appear. This is a natural part of the learning process. We want to find areas where you have difficulty. Improvement in the venusian arts has often been compared to a continuous process of resolving sticking points. In addition, the experience of running long interactions with women and getting deeper into the 9 phases will give you new insight into the venusian arts. As such, we try to have a couple of instructors continuing to demonstrate various techniques for your analysis and understanding.

 

And a couple of Frequently Asked Questions…

Q.  I see that Qualification [or another topic] is only covered for one hour.  How can you explain that in one hour?  It’s my biggest weakness and I want to make sure it will be addressed.

A.  Don’t worry, there’s well more than one hour on Qualification.  We specifically discuss Qualification theory and routines for an hour on Saturday, but it is also addressed during the 8 hours of live workshop coaching as well as the hour each day of review from the previous night.  In fact, we have a combined 10 hours of each program to work specifically on whatever each individual student needs to get to the next level.  We keep things deliberately flexible and allow for so much individualized training to respond to each students’ needs.  So if you have issues with qualification, you’d better believe that that’s what most of your coaching will focus on!

 

Q.  What if I can’t be there for the whole seminar and have to miss a few hours?

A.  Then don’t come.  I’m serious.  Bootcamps are a lot of fun (how often do you get to learn from and party with some of the most successful men in the world – the guys who actually developed the principles and material that are being taught?) but they’re not a vacation.  It’s serious stuff, and if you can’t be 100% focused over the weekend, then come to a different program.  Or contact us about one-on-one training (and tell us what city you’re in).

 

Q. Where does this all take place?

A.  The seminar portion is usually held in a comfortable hotel conference room, so water, coffee, notepads, audio/visual material, etc., is available.  The workshop portion is in a local bar, club, restaurant, or lounge.

 

Q.  It looks great but what if it’s not for me? 

A.  A full refund policy is at the heart of every product or service we develop.  After the program is over, if you don’t feel it was worth every cent, you get your money back.

 

 

Reviews

Tenmagnent
That dude can talk. He laid it down solid throughout the whole seminar, and then led the charge in field. In the seminar room he went through all the theory and threw in TONS of specific examples and I always felt like (a) I knew exactly where I was coming from, and (b) This guy has a TON of experience sarging. He had lot's of specific examples that made sense.

His best quality is hard to describe. It was something along the lines that he is very intuitive, and had a knack for drilling right into the heart of whatever issue the student was expressing or struggling with. He didn't pull any punches and told the guy's in explicit terms exactly what they needed to change or how to look at things in a way to move them forward. I got the sense that it was like that Tom Berringer 80's cowboy comedy movie "Rustlers Rhapsody" where the main character rides into town, and he can tell the future because the exact same sh!t happened in every other cowboy movie town.

Tenmagnent seems like the kind of guy who has done a lot of seminars, and knows what the issues are and how to fix them. His interpersonal presentation is extremely smooth and charismatic. He is very "socially calibrated" to use a cliché. And you get the feeling like just hanging out with the guy for a couple of days shooting the sh!t would up your game.

The bootcamp was a great experience that brought the whole THe Mystery Method to life. I didn't fully believe how effective the method was until I witnessed two separate instructors each number close an LA "7" almost immediately after arriving at the bar the first night. There's no substitute for field experience but approaching attractive women -- particularly with the little experience I'd had -- was daunting. Having the instructors there, coaching me into, during, and after sets drastically accelerated my game. The personal feedback was intense, covering everything from material and delivery to posture and style. The bootcamp was a great investment, and I can't wait to get back out there.
