Well, it seems Ross Jeffries (one of the first to experiment in the Pickup field) isn’t the only one who got a lot of attention from the New York Times article. Apparently, Mystery has been bombarded with a slew of offers from pretty much every major news magazine on TV. He has been approached to be on Good Morning America, 20/20, Conan Obrien, Primetime, and VH1 to name a few. He’s approaching most of these shows with caution, mostly because he seems to know that they are going to try and paint him in the worst possible light they can.Not only that, but Mystery has been courted by two MAJOR stations to have his own show. The producer’s of FOX’s American Idol have contacted Mystery and are in serious talks to give him his own special, though the format of the show is unknown at this time.

Likewise, VH1 has also contacted Mystery( World Famous Pickup Artist ), but with a more concrete offer. In fact, they are flying him out to New York to meet with the VH1 brass about the nature of the show. I’m told that it is probably going to be a series where Mystery takes a bunch of hopeless AFCs and turns them into real ladies men — a type of ”Straight Eye for the Pathetic Guy” type scenario. MTV did this type of show with David Wygan, but it apparently didn’t do too well, mostly because it was more of a make-over show than anything else. According to Mystery, the VH1 show would be much more about teaching guys the Arts of The Pickup Artist than simply giving them a new haircut and crazy clothes.  Not only does …

Hollywood seem to be trying to get him, but Mystery’s seminar/workshop business has also seemed to have benefitted from the article. I met with Mystery this weekend after a workshop which he deemed very successful. I’m also told that his personal one-on-one workshops are also becoming quite popular, which is probably the impetus for his VH1 series, should it go through.Neil Strauss is also doing his part to help keep the video train rolling by introducing Mystery to a number of entertainment industry big-wigs, as well as getting him in the door at the

Agency, which could end up representing him. Put all this with the news that Mystery is now writing a book — which could be picked up by a major publisher — and the year two thousand four could be the year for Erik von Markovik.Also, new video footage of Mystery has popped up on the net. It’s a fairly short 3 minute video on youtube movie piece of Mystery doing a monologue on Sunset Blvd. Maybe a precursor of things to come? Or more likely a advertising technique? Perhaps a bit of both? We’ll have to see.ThundercatsThis is a repost from when news started getting around from Thundercat ’s seduction lair.

Hi!

I’m a spanish Mystery fan, and my answer is… ¿how can I see VH! Mystery shows on my country?

A lot of thanks,

Lovetier

I came up with the idea of the “Pickup Arist” about one year ago. They could not even change the goddamn name of the show? This was my exact title. I submitted the idea to a site and now i have to try to figure out a paper trail.
I am sitting with my wife at home talking about how this show looks like an idea for a show i wrote about some time back called The Pickup Artist. expect a lawsuit if i can prove it..

What country are you living in? There are Spanish people all around the world.

PS you Spanish people are so cute with your upside down question marks. What will you think of next?
