Mystery, Matador, Lovedrop & Discovery Review by Dyyz

This should have been titled “All Instructors in LA Bootcamp.” Everyone was there except Hawaii that I have read about either from reviews or the forums. I mean, Kosmo and Joe D. from Season 1 of the Pickup Artist and Simeon, Greg and Brian from Season 2 were all there to help out, both in the classroom setting, as well as in-field. There was something to be learned from each and every one of them, and they are all very good.
The Classroom:
In the classroom settings you get two sessions with each instructor, Mystery, Matador, and Lovedrop; one one each day. The guys always run over the alloted time but that’s just because they have so much to teach and there isn’t nearly enough time for it all. At one point Mystery asked one of the other guys “are we making a schedule or running a bootcamp?” They want to make sure that they can instill every piece of knowledge possible in the time they have. I will do my best to touch on the ideas without saying too much, you have to see these guys explain it. It’s the difference from reading it to seeing it done.
Mystery’s classroom sessions included an indepth overview of the process and then an expanded session on the qualification step of the method. Mystery has so much information in his head that he cannot stop teaching. His teachings are thorough and very easy follow. He teaches the basic method that most everyone out there uses as the foundation for other methods or styles. Which is not entirely basic but it is easiest for an AFC to follow.
Lovedrop’s classroom experience is interesting as well because he openly admits that he knows he has to take most of the people in the classroom out that very same night and he teaches what will have the biggest impact on the students the quickest. That’s not to say that he isn’t thorough, it’s just that through experience, he’s learned what has the fastest results from the classroom to the in-field experience. I have also read where people are comming down on Lovedrop because he says “Mystery would say…” that’s because the process is so internalized for all of the instructors that in order to teach it, they have to actively think about what they do and what is the best way to teach it. As as I just said, the “basic” method that Mystery teaches is the one that gets the best results from the students the quickest. Lovedrop covers the inner game as well as kino escalation. The biggest thing I took away from his sessions is the ability to help control approach anxiety.
Matador’s classroom time was entirely different. He explains early on that he uses a different process than the other guys. He also explains that he goes through all of the method’s steps from A1 to C1 in a matter of seconds. It’s just all in how he calibrates and executes. His biggest topic is attraction. The so-called Matador Mayhem is based around sexual tension and is amazing. This guy has a way of breaking down what he does and how it works so that even an AFC could at least, attempt to do what he does.
Discovery dosn’t spend too much time with the students in the classroom. He is the one who debriefs with the students and he help fine tune what he saw in-field. He has a charisma about he that he passes on to the students in the delivery of the material. I wish we had more time with this guy, because he has a lot to offer the community.
The Pickup Artist guys all came in and joined us when it was time to breakup into smaller groups to practice the material and delivery. They are exponentially better than they were even at the end of the TV show. They help you with the details, from body language to vocal tonality and they can help out a lot because they have all been where all of us were before.
All of these guys have a way of explaining and breaking down things so that you not only know what to do, but know why it works so that you can apply it to yourself and your avatar and lifestyle. These guys tell you that the canned material they give you should only be used about 6 weeks then you should be able to come up with your own material. This is why the way that they teach is so effective.
In-Field:
I’m not sure I can explain the in-field experience better than anyone else, so I’ll just give a quick recap of what I experienced. First off, the first night they got us into the VIP room of the hottest club in LA. Now this was no easy task, there were over 20 guys and maybe 4 women in the group, so they pulled some strings to make that happen,a nd it was worth it. There were celebrities, reality TV personalities and prettymuch, you had to be somebody to be there, and we got to practice in that atmosphere. MikeyVegas was dead on when he said we owned the club, and that every guy wanted to be us and every girl wanted to be with us.
Mystery was working his game and it was amazing to watch. The instructors told us that is we see them do something and want to know how they did it, to go up to them and just ask and they will reverse engineer it for us, because just about everything they do is internallized and so it is an unconsious process most of the time for them.
Matador was amazing. He would grab some strange, beautiful girl and simply say, “Here let me introduce you to my friend,” to the girl then pass her off on to the students. Set open. Now don’t get me wrong, it didn’t always work with every girl but I was still in awe of what could be done with practice.
Lovedrop has a style his own in the club. There’s not a funnier guy to watch. He was just himself, but by being himself he demonstrated qualities that women respond to. And he teaches the students how to do the same. He helped me out several times, one especially where I got in my own headspace, he helped me get back to normal and begin opening sets again.
The pivots are phenominal. It’s hard not to look good when Kacey and Erica and the other girls are there with you. They have been doing this for a long time and know exactly when to DHV you and when you whisper in your ear infront of your set. They can do it all. When I wasn’t in set, I went back to find one of the pivots to get my head straight and they would help me open a set. I can’t say enough about the girls.
The Pickup Artist guys were also out there to help out. I’ll be honest, Kosmo is the man. He would drag me into set after set and he was amazing. It was great to hear some of the same lines that I had just learned, used by him and see that they work and what reaction you will get with them. Greg, from season 2 was also an all-star in-field. He seemed to always know just when to join me in a 2 set to help me isolate, and he knew just how to do it also. I spent a little time with all of the guys, but Kosmo and Greg were the two that really took me under their wing.
I hate to admit but I didn’t see Discovery too much in-field. I would have liked to have seen him at work a bit more. What I did see looked amazing, he was always in set and seemed to always isolate quickly. When I did speak to him, he was very good about fine tuning what he had seen me do. So he was paying attention to me and saw me more than I saw him, because he was always spot on with the advice.
Like I said much earlier in this review. Mystery never stops teaching. On our way out of the clubs, he was breaking down a set he worked, or a set he saw us in, or what we can do next time to make a set work for us. He is a machine. A fountain of knowledge, and all you have to do is listen and pay attention and he will teach you.
Breakout Sessions:
This will be a quick one. The breakout sessions are like Grad school for college. I attended all of them and they fine tune what you ahve spent the pervious two days learning. It’s like specializing in each field. Each instructor has an area where they excell and this is the time for them to teach you how and why.
Matador said it best at the end of the bootcamp. “I’ve taught you everything I know. Now it’s your turn to go out there and apply it and make it yours.”
This was an experience that I will never forget and learned an immense amount from. I can garuntee that I will be practicing what they have taught us and will utilize it in all aspects of my life, not just for picking up women. I know this was a lengthy review and if you’ve read it this far, I thank you. Again, like MikeyVegas, I did this review as much for myself as I did for the readers. I built a bond with the other guys in the camp as well as the instructors. And I know this may be too detailed a post, so if it need be ammended by an administrator, then please feel free. I got my thought out and thats a huge step towards internalizing the material. Thanks everyone for everything, and if you were there, please let me know if this is similar to your experience, or different, because I want to know everything I missed.
1 Hour to Greatness…. The Power Hour

I was inspired originally on this by Anthony Robbins and have expanded on it since then with my life coach and sports psychology hat on….
How you start your day and the first hour you wake and what you do in it, will set the scene for your whole day’s effectiveness – hence referred to as the power hour –
1. From the alarm going off, get into a routine of GETTING UP WITHIN 5 MINUTES of the alarm – and then 60 seconds when you have got used to this.
2. STRETCH IN BED (muscle stretching gentlemen!
your muscles are relaxed now and great time to invigorate with a 3-5 min mini stretch routine – especially around spinal column (where most stress will stem from).
3. Large GLASS OF WATER (not ice cold as contracts digestive system) (the more water you drink smokers, the less the craving – you also need more to flush the toxins out of your body (+smells).
4. Embark on a 30 MIN CARDIO EXERCISE (even if to start is a walk) – I personally run 3 times per week and on the days in between, walk the dog and while it is running around a field I use it to think of words of wisdom to share on my blogs, facebook, twitter etc – share good energy – it comes back to you. You will release immediate endorphins making you feel great, less fatigued (mentally) and stress levels will be lower.
5. IMPORTANT (from the book the Secret) – APPRECIATION – the Secret (law of attraction from the Universe); every morning (ideally within the power hour, while you are invigorating your body, exercise etc) appreciate 3 things about your life and surroundings – don’t focus on belongings – but opportunities and beauty and good alignments – the more you appreciate the beauty and good energy around you in the universe, not only will it make you feel better about yourself, but…. the more you radiate, positivity, good energy in appreciation of what is good in your life, you will not be focusing on the bad AND the universe will align to present you more of the good.
6. READ even if only for 20 minutes, something positive – perhaps the book the Secret, or Anthony Robbins “Awaken the Giant Within”. Get your mind in a positive and positive giving space.
7. GIVE GOOD ENERGY – share your positive thoughts to lift and inspire others (as I am sharing with you right now) – again the more you give out the more you will ‘attract’.
8. REVIEW YOUR DAILY GOALS: Don’t just end up at work and ‘react to the day’ go back to your weekly goal sheet – set a minimal criteria list for the day and some ‘Success’ goals (even if just 2 and you accomplish one, you know you are growing and becoming more successful because of them) – go back to previous days goals – did you achieve all you need to? Don’t panic and DONT…..!!! add all of uncompleted goals onto today – they will mount up and you will resent goal setting – instead – spread them over the next few days, are they really that important, perhaps they can be done next week, perhaps delegate to someone else.
9. CONNECT with someone you have not in a while – there are opportunities awaiting you that the universe is ready to give you, you simply need to reach out and connect to find new and intuitive opportunities to help others and help yourself.
10. ENCOURAGE – I have never had the opportunity to share with you my version of the “Wisdom of Geese”, but one of the insights of geese flying in true formation with common shared goals and support of one another, is that they are always HONKING – make sure today you are honking words of encouragement to others and not something else. You will get it back.
