I wear band tees and skinny jeans, but I look good with them. You should always look good, for a few reasons. By looking good, I mean wearing nice clothes, trimming your hair to keep it stylish, being hygienic. Just because you CAN amaze anyone you meet no matter what you look like, doesn't mean you should neglect how you look. The reason is because looking nice GIVES you confidence, which will aid you in your magic. You should be looking good for yourself and no one else, really. Sure you should look professional, but when it comes right down to it, if you look good to yourself and you know it, other people will perceive you as good looking too. It's the power of the mind.
For example, I've worn a lot of weird things. In fact, a year ago I wore a tail to school. I wore it with confidence because I thought it was pretty freaking cool and unique, and while I got some looks, I was confident in it and I STILL got girls. Now, granted, this is before I even knew any of my pick-up game, so you can imagine what would have happened if I had that tool too!
There's a reason I got those girls. It's called the Peacock Theory. Here's an excerpt from The Game by Neil Strauss that explains the Peacock Theory:
Quote from: The Game by Neil Strauss
"Well, look at you," Mystery said. "You look average. People think if they look generic, then they can seduce a wide array of women. Not true. You have to specialize. If you look average, you're going to get average girls. Your khaki pants are for the office. They're not for clubs. And your sweater—burn it. You need to be bigger than life. I'm talking over the top. If you want to get the 10s, you need to learn peacock theory."
Mystery loved theories. Peacock theory is the idea that in order to at¬ tract the most desirable female of the species, it's necessary to stand out in a flashy and colorful way. For humans, he told us, the equivalent of the fanned peacock tail is a shiny shirt, a garish hat, and jewelry that lights up in the dark—basically, everything I'd dismissed my whole life as cheesy.
So basically, Peacock Theory is wearing things that are out of ordinary, but wearing them with confidence. They are what makes you stand out from the other confident people. I think that being stylish and confident are two of the most important traits a magician can have. In fact, two traits that any MAN should have
