This is a perfect trick to use out at bars or clubs because it doesn’t require any bulky props and it’s great for use on a group of girls. One of the hardest things for most guys is
approaching a group of women. They walk up to the group and get overwhelmed by all of the “girl power” that the
groups can exhibit. Girls often tend to make their little circle impenetrable. I’ve entertained countless sets of girls at bars with this trick. You can do it over and over again with every girl in the set.
The Effect
You walk up to a group of women at a bar or club and say,
“You guys are a predictable bunch - I noticed from across the bar that you guys display so many of the classic body language “tells” that most women exhibit in social settings.”
Calling them “guys” let’s them know that you are casual and not intimidating at first. Then you follow with, “You’re body language gives away so much about you”. They’ll be sure to get slightly offended but you’ll definitely have their
attention. They may say something like, “Oh yeah? What can you tell about us genius?” The person that says that (or something like it) is likely to be the leader of the group
because she stepped up first. Either way, it doesn’t really matter what you say here. You should point to the one who spoke up first and say, “I can tell you’re the leader of the group”. It’s a natural tendency for everyone to want to be the leader of the group so she’ll probably agree with you or
least be happy that you found her to be “special”. Also – by doing this, you’re making the other girls feel like they are lesser and will instantly make them want to validate
themselves to you. You may also look for someone who has her arms crossed and say, “You’re guarded, but you open up once people get to know you”. Most people that are slightly shy tend to think this way so she’ll probably be somewhat impressed that you caught that. Now you say, “Let me show you how predictable you are. Any one of you have a coin?”
Take the coin from whoever gives it you. Now pick one of them (Not the one you are most interested in) and say, “I noticed you as the one who was most obvious with her body language… take this coin and put it behind your back. Put it in either hand and put your hands out in front of you. I’ll guess which hand it is in every time just by assessing your body language cues – If I get it right 5 times… your friend here will buy me a drink (point to the girl you’re most interested in)”. At this point you’ll have broken past their guard, built up suspense and have a whole group of women eating out of the palm of your hands. All of this done while not even revealing your hidden intention of getting one of them into bed (or at least out on a date).
They may or may not agree to the drink buying thing. If they give you a problem with it you can offer to buy her a
drink if you don’t pick it right every time. They’ll usually go along with it then. If they make to big a deal about the drink buying thing, just act like you have no time for all of their fussiness and jokingly say, “Okay you wimps, forget the drink thing… let’s just do this”.
The girl puts her hands behind her back and then out in front of her holding the coin in one hand. You look at her and act as if you are assessing her body language to figure out which hand it’s in. Say things like, “Oh man, you’re too easy…. You’re giving it away”. You proceed to guess
accurately all 5 times. Each time you can act like there’s something she’s doing to give it away. Once you get to the 4th and 5th time you can really start clowning on the whole group here by saying things like, “It’s amazing how much you guys were giving away with your body language while you guys were talking before I came over. I’ve been
studying the psychology of body language for a while and I could even tell that one of you in particular really found me attractive when I first walked over”. Now that you’ve really proven that you are a body language expert, they’ll really believe that one of them found you attractive and they’ll all wonder if it was them that was giving you the nonverbal cues. Once you finish you should ask the girl you liked to make good on the bet and get you a drink. Now that you’ve
established the trust of the group, you can lead your target over to the bar and have her get you a drink. From here It’d be a good idea to have a repertoire of techniques ready to build attraction with her.

How It’s Done
Okay, so all that stuff above was great but if you don’t know how to do the trick, none of that matters. There are a few ways to do this trick, but the best way is to use a compass watch and magnetic coin. There are many good looking watches out there that have built in compasses in them and you can find magnetic coins very cheap online as well (you can “google” either of them and you’ll find a bunch of
options). You can also take a normal compass and make a watch out of it by gluing it to a watch strap.
You can either give them the magnetic coin to use for the trick or you can ask them for a coin and secretly swap it with yours by pretending to pass it from your left hand to your right hand, while you really just had the magnetic coin in your right hand the whole time and didn’t swap anything.
When the compass goes near the hand with the coin, the compass arms will move. You can just stand very close to
your target and point very close to each hand as if you are doing like an “eenie meenie miny mo” kind of thing with your hand while squinting your eyes as if you’re waiting for her to make some kind of movement that will give it away.
Really you’re getting a reading on the compass. You’ll notice the compass hand move as it comes close to the hand with the coin in it. This will take some practice, but will look great once you get good at it. If suddenly you get no movement on the compass it is likely she’s trying to trick you and she has it in neither hand.
There are a couple of other ways to do this. Some magic shops sell a magic trick called “Eye to Eye”. It uses a plastic ball or a coin. I strongly urge you not to use the ball as it’s suspect and screams dorky. You don’t want the girls thinking you brought some kind of silly magic trick ball with you. You receive a signal that tells you which hand they’re holding the coin/ball in.
There is a way to do this without any props but it’s not as accurate. The proven best way to detect which hand the coin is in without using anything is looking at the direction the nose will point in. Try this with family and friends and you’ll be surprised how well it works. The eyes can lie but the nose seems to tell the truth.
WHERE’S THE PENNY
This is my kind of trick because it involves only a nickel and a penny. You don’t want to use big complicated props or use anything that looks like it might come from a magic kit with you when trying to pick up women using mentalism and magic. A lot of women will think you’re desperate or dorky if you do that. As long as the props you use are something you can easily find around – you’re safe.
A good way to start this off is to drop a penny and a nickel on the floor near your target. Try to the coins to fall closer to her feet than yours. If possible get them to fall completely on the other side of her so it’s obvious that it’s easier for her to reach for them that it is for you. Don’t rush to pick them up. Hopefully she reached for them. If not, you can even say, “Do you mind grabbing those for me?” If she grabs them for you, you’re all set. By getting her to get them for you, you’ve already initiated a sequence where she’s doing things for you and not the other way around. Actually – getting someone to do a favor for you is a more effective way to get someone to like you than doing a favor for the person. The psychology of it is that a person’s subconscious will suggest to them, “I did a favor for this person, therefore I must like them”. It’s a good idea to get used to asking for
favors from women often. As she reaches to pick them up for you, say the following in a lighthearted manner: “It’s a shame to just leave it there when there are starving kids out there… I was watching an infomercial last night about that stuff, and seeing those cute little kids with the flies on there head got me thinking about how much we take for granted – I actually signed up to sponsor one of them – I hope it’s not a scam ”. This will get her thinking that you’re a sweet guy right from the start. Now that she has the coins in her hands you can say, “Hang on a sec. Before you give them back to me, I want to try something. I’m going to turn around and when I do, I want you to put one coin in one hand and one in the other. If I can guess which coin is in which hand 3 times, will you promise to adopt one of those kids the next time you’re watching one of those infomercials”. Keep this all very light – not like you’re trying to get her to join some weird cult that is trying to get her to give money. Keep a smile on your face the whole time and say it in a semi-joking manner, but keep it serious enough where she’ll think that you really care about starving kids (well – hopefully you really do).
The Method
Have her put her arms out in front of her and tell her that you’re going to guess which hand each coin is in. Go into a
and that people do certain things with their body to give away which hand the coin is in. Tell her that body language relies on the right side of the brain so you’ll need to occupy the left side of the brain which governs reason to try and allow her natural body language show itself. Explain to her that when doing this, people sometimes try to hide their natural body language so by occupying the left side of her brain with the math, her body language will respond without her being aware of it.
Ask her to multiply the coin in her right hand by 2 and to say “okay” when she has the answer. Remember to act as if you’re observing her body language. Now ask her to multiply the coin in her left hand by 17 and to say “okay” when she has the answer. If it took about the same amount of time for each, then the nickel is in the right hand since 1 x 17 is easy to compute. If the second one was much slower, then the nickel was in the left hand. You can do this trick on her two more times but use different numbers like 13 or 16 instead of 17 so she doesn’t catch on to how you’re doing it. She may catch on but it doesn’t matter because either way she’ll think you’re clever. If she catches on, just laugh about it together and tell her that you’re going to take her out next week and try the trick again on her then. Tell her that her homework assignment is to work on her times tables all week and see if the next time she can fool you by
multiplying faster. If she doesn’t figure it out, you can go on about how her body language gives up so much more about her. This is a great time transition into another “mind
reading” trick I teach in this book – The Accurate Psychic Reading. Just recite the cold reading to her exactly as I wrote it and tell her that you picked this up about her from her body language and by looking into her eyes. She’ll think you somehow know her deep down inside.
After some practice, this routine will work wonders.
