Look Out Don Juan, Here Comes **Mystery**!

**Reposted from the first Lair, original date: 1/6/04

For those of you who don’t know who Mystery is, he’s a Pick-Up artist from Canada who’s been around since the early days of ASF. Most of the techniques on fast-seduction.com have been pioneered by him, and he’s developed a LOT of Pick-Up theory as well as utilizing group dynamics in his pick-ups. To my knowledge, he is also the first ever Pick-Up Artist to do live, in-field workshops designed to train other men to approach women in bars and clubs.

I met Mystery last year at one of his workshops in LA, where his co-instructor Style (the most powerful of the Jedi) broke me of my fear of approaching. I’ve gotten to know Mystery a little bit since then and consider him to be one of the real deals of the seduction community.

Recently, Mystery has teamed up with Tyler Durden and Papa to “streamline” his seduction training business. With the advent of Project Hollywood (a lifestyle experiment that has Mystery, Style, Papa, and Herbal living in a large house of the Sunset Strip), Mystery is going to be passing the in-field training torch to Tyler Durden and focusing his energy on teaching seminars.

However, this is not the only thing Mystery has been up to. I’ve known for some time now that he is throwing his hat into the ring with the likes of David D’Angelo and Swinggcat and writing a book about his Seduction and Pick-Up theory. Not only that, but I have it on good authority that the book is now finished, or nearly finished, and will be marketed through Papa’s website — Real Social Dynamics.

I’ll be interested to read the book, because I’ve studied Mystery Method for a while now. I’m told that Mystery has simplified his method down from the most recent 27 Step Method to a 3 Step Method. My gut says that it may simply be “Meet, Attract, & Close” but that might be too basic for Mystery, who’s known to constantly advance and refine his material (sometimes to the point of incomprehencibility *coughM3cough*).

So though he may be “dumbing down” his approach for the masses, I don’t think that’ll affect his work much. Mystery’s real talent lies in his structural models of seduction, which I’ve gotten to see scrawled on various cocktail napkins. Hopefully he’s included some of them in the book.

As soon as I get my greedy little hands on a copy, I’ll be sure to post a review here, though I’m still working on reviews for both Real World Seduction and Double Your Dating. That, coupled with all my other writings, is keeping me quite bogged down at the moment.

In the meantime, I’ll just continue to pass on what I hear.
