Women like to be entertained. Women like to laugh. Women like to have fun and be impressed. These are just a few reasons why magic tricks can be used to attract women.

One of the most important elements that help attract women is that in order to do a magic trick in front of a woman, you must have some level of confidence in yourself and in performing the trick. Confidence is sexy. Confidence is attractive. Women are attracted to men who have confidence. It shows that the man has self esteem.

But achieving this type of confidence is easier than you think. If you learn the magic tricks that will help you attract women, you will become confident sooner than you think.

Unlike approaching a woman with a pick up line, you will take her off guard when you offer to show her a magic trick. The majority of women will agree to see it. That is the first step. You have been able to approach a woman and offer her something she likes – entertainment.

Another benefit in approaching a woman and offering to show her a magic trick is that you are establishing that there is an end to the time period she must pay spend with you. That is OK. You will make her want to spend time with you.

A woman is more likely to be responsive when she doesn’t feel pressured to spend the rest of the evening talking to someone who just walked up to her out of the blue. When you approach a woman offering to show her a trick, you could even say something like, “Hey, I want to show you this magic trick before my friends and I take off in a few minutes.”

Then do your magic.

You can impress her with your personality -- whether your style is intellectual, charming or serious -- as you do the trick. While you are doing your trick, you can also engage her in a little conversation. Because you are performing a trick, the chit chat is non-threatening.

The next crucial element is that you can impress her with your abilities – another point for you. It takes some confidence and skill to pull off a magic trick and most women find it attractive.

There is one other element that really helps when meeting a woman. While doing your trick or engaging in small talk, it helps to get the woman to laugh. Sometimes just watching your work will bring out a delighted giggle. She may laugh either because she is amazed by your ability or just because it she is happy to be entertained. Once you have her laughing, her guards and barriers are down and you can then move onto the next step, which is getting to know her in a real way.

But remember, make it a brief conversation and then move on. Of course you should ask for her number so you can continue the conversation at a later date. Chances are good that she will want to continue speaking to you more. You just came up to her and impressed her with your skill, your confidence and your nonthreatening sense of fun and nonchalance. It is nearly a sure-fire combination.
