Most people would say I’m already a pretty good conversationalist because I’ve had to do a lot of sales and public speaking in my career. And while I’m not a natural per se (I was rather shy growing up), I’m knowledgable about a lot of topics and so can usually find common ground with someone.
My sticking points revolved around how to start a conversation with a complete stranger and how to make it more intimate. Convoersation Camp really helped me understand how I can lead conversations in such a way as to be more attractive.
I’m not talking about just clever turns of phrase for flirting, though there’s a lot of that too. Rather, it’s about learning to take bigger risks with women and tell them how you feel in a way that’s simultaneously vulnerable and seductive.
Also, Conversation Camp reinforces the importance of telling the truth, not lying your way into someone’s pants. Those seeking a more authentic way of interacting with women will get a lot out of this.
The moment I met Wayne, I said to myself, “This guy is going to leave an impression.” Simply put – I found Wayne to be a master conversationalist who is genuine, relateable, and with command of many communication techniques. Some of the ideas that changed how I look at conversation are strong eye contact and its importance to one’s confidence, maintaining non-static body language, sparking an audience’s interest by headlining ideas, and developing one’s social presence. Discussion of these ideas were aided with group exercises and Wayne’s analysis of each person’s sticking points. Often times in my life, I have asked, “How is that person so charismatic?” Wayne’s Conversation Camp demystified this concept and helped me garner the social skills to develop better interactions with people in all aspects of my life.
The Charisma Arts conversation camp is the best investment I’ve ever made in my personal life, and in my career.
I have attended several bootcamps with other companies, and while they helped teach me their way of meeting women, Charisma Arts taught that and something better.
Charisma Arts Bootcamp and the Conversation Camp taught me how to be a charismatic man, more charming and more likable than I was before. This skill has helped me not just in my dating life, where it helped me get a new girlfriend (the most beautiful woman I’ve ever dated)- but it has also helped me succeed in my career.
Thank you Wayne!
It’s all worth it man, was one of the best experiences of my life.
Signing up for the conversation camp has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. I wanted to improve my skills as a salesperson and I have ended up improving the way in which I communicate to customers, to friends and relatives and to women. I have felt an improvement from the first day and I am able to communicate now with much more confidence.
Wayne is able to make you improve your skills while having a lot of fun. If you are thinking that the conversation camp could be for you, stop thinking about it and sign up!
Hey there!
I’m not going to review the camp itself…
I’m going to state how my life was BEFORE the camp, and how my life is NOW, only days after the camp.
Before the camp my conversations consisted of me being the one to engage people. Nobody wanted to engage me personally, and the people I did engage made their answers as short and succinct as possible and got away from me very quickly.
I was pretty much living in a shell existence.
And while I thought my life was servicable I thought it could do with some levels of improvement in several areas.
I was barely able to have conversations with my own family let alone my best friend/s.
I lied about and I omitted many different truths. All because I was very insecure about revealing what was behind my metaphorical social curtain.
I even went as far as to make up a girlfriend to hide the fact that I’m still a virgin at the age of 22.
After the Conversation camp, when I was waiting in my taxi, heading towards the local coach station, I have to admit I was rather flustered and could barely remember any of what I’d been taught.
I was late for the coach and was really annoyed, due to traffic making me late, that I now had to buy another expensive ticket for a new coach.
I arrive and found out that not only did I have to completely skip a coach that was due to arrive at 9.00pm (An hour wait) because it was full.
So I hatched a plan…
I figured that I’d try and alter my coach pass based on past experiences from having to amend previous coach passes for route alterations to elsewhere.
I decided to wing it with the coach driver when it came close to 9.00pm instead of wait around for a coach that would arrive in 3 hours time.
I somehow managed to walk over to the coach driver with my altered coach pass as if I’d been using their services all my life.
The only problem was that, at that moment in time, I got worried that I’d spent all of that money and now that the event was over I’d somehow forgotten all that I’d learned.
I even got angry at myself when I almost backed out of the short trek over to the coach driver.
Then all of a sudden I found myself saying: “I’ve been worried this whole time about the bad amendment guide that the *coach company’s* customer services gave me and I want you to tell me everything is fine.” (Hidden in this sentence is something subtle that I learned from Wayne.)
“I’m really frustrated. How do you personally find your company’s customer services to be?”
(The conversation actually carried on going for five more minutes. Five minutes in which we both laughed at the ineptitude of some people and shook hands out of joined respect.)
Following this I’ve talked to several people that couldn’t stand the sight of me before who now go out of their own way to see how I’m doing each day?
I’ve recently also become very close to my family, or much more closer, and my best friend can’t wait to hang out with me on a four day weekend at our capitol city working on his picking up woman skills. (He liked me before, but I got the sense that he only liked my company in short doses.)
I also have business plans that are progressing at an interesting pace due to my new-found ability to suddenly be surrounded by people who would like to help out with my ideas.
And while I don’t have a business degree or a law degree, I now have fantastic interpersonal skills that most people tend to lack. Thank goodness! ;-p
And thank you very much Wayne. The price for a Conversation camp is very expensive in the short, but it’s extremely invaluable in the long term. (Plus I can go back to them as many times as I like.)
I’d also like to thank all the other guys, and girl, that went to the June 26th-27th Conversation Camp.
It was a privilege to meet you all. I hope we meet again in the future. Conversation Camp or otherwise.
I signed up for a conversation camp with Wayne and had high expectations – as I’m sure everyone who signs up does, a grand and a half is a lot of money to put up. I craved to learn how to act cool. I wanted to learn how to feel safe enough with the type of girl who really knows how to rev my engines to make a move. If you’re considering attending a conversation camp, I’m not sure what you’re looking to get out of it, but if you’re looking for the same things the fact of the matter is that you probably won’t learn either of these, at least not from Wayne.
If you’re looking for someone to teach you how to act cool you should sign up for someone else’s seminar. Wayne himself isn’t aloof or cool. He is the warmest, genuinely charismatic person I have ever met. The entire weekend he handled the situations he was in with charm. First meeting someone as respected as Wayne I was nervous. I was expecting him to be detached and to act like he was cooler than us. He wasn’t, he was incredibly human and vulnerable and made me feel very comfortable around him.
Through the course of the camp Wayne taught us how to be more like him. While he was talking to us I felt like a fresh sponge that had been removed from it’s packaging and dropped into water for the first time. During the role-playing exercises I felt a full range of emotions: awkward, uncomfortable, frustrated, warmth, charming and gassy. The gas was caused by skipping lunch and having a coffee instead in order to have enough time to scribble down notes from the previous couple of hours before the camp met again, so I suppose that it was my own fault.
Instead of teaching us the safe way to escalate things sexually, he did the opposite – he taught us how to do it in the most risky way possible. He taught us how to set ourselves up to be rejected hard and take all of the danger we could. He taught us how to needlessly set ourselves up for rejection, and that the only thing better than letting a girl reject you is to let her reject you in front of a lot of people. Since I’ve met Wayne my life has been exhilarating. There have been times when my heart felt like it was going to beat out of its chest. I like that feeling now.
As Wayne said good-bye to me the last night, he used a lot of the techniques he taught us over the past couple of days. I didn’t feel gamed or played. I felt appreciative. I appreciated the fact that he was willing to put the effort in to be charismatic as he was talking to me. I appreciated that he had taught me all he had. Wayne is a great guy, and I think if you are a guy or a girl and you want to become better at connecting with people, you should attend a conversation camp. After I absorb all that I can from this camp, I plan to attend another.
I’ve had the honor to attend several of Wayne’s Conversation Camps and every single time, I walk away with a full notebook of notes. He is hands down the best conversationalist I’ve ever met and he is very good at teaching this skillset to other people. The camp is very intimate and the learning is very hands-on. You will learn how to start and maintain interesting and engaging conversations with both individuals and groups. I’ve taken many, many different workshops, and if you were to take only one, this would be the one. I sincerely hope you do!
Wayne’s Conversation Camp, Denver, June 6-7 2008
I decided to take a convo camp because I am currently in Denver for the month on business, and conveniently, a convo camp was scheduled here during the same month. So I decided to jump on that opportunity – i.e. my work takes care of my plane flight and hotel!
I wanted to get a better understanding of I-statements and being able to relate them to emotions and the present. The biggest component of approach anxiety for me (currently) is the fear of blanking out right after opening and not knowing what to say, and then getting stuck way too long in platonic stage.
Many topics we covered were already in the e-book, but with only 1-3 pages discussing each of these topics. At convo camp, we spent a TON of in-depth time with each of them, doing useful group exercises with Wayne right there to guide us and answer every single question we had. He really, really puts in the effort to answer all your questions so that you understand the principles. You do a lot of drilling and exercises with I-statements.
We also covered plenty of stuff NOT covered in the e-book, especially body language, tons of stories about his latest escapades, and his hilarious way of handling extremely mean/rude girls. Also, the concept of “being #2″ (i.e. girl already has a boyfriend, and is faithful) and how to handle that.
The stuff that is covered in convo camp is also applicable to other areas of life, aside from meeting girls: work, work-related social gatherings, job interviews, etc. This is the beauty of Juggler Method. You’re not exactly going to find a Mystery Method person running Strawberrry Fields or The Cube on his job interviewer. Hmm, hey dR maybe we have an idea for a funny skit here…
Anyways, convo camp is a two day affair, Saturday 12-7pm and Sunday 11-6pm – and held at a really nice hotel. It’s a purely didactic affair without field work. We would break for a late lunch around 3pm and reconvene an hour later, and we’d all go together as a group.
Also, I’d recommend bringing a notepad. You’ll want to write down lots of precious notes and tidbits from Wayne.
Wayne is very dedicated to making sure his students understand what he is talking about. He is also a really good guy that you get to know as a friend by the end of the convo camp. I’m glad to have personally met him, and hope to see him again. I walked out of convo camp with a much better understanding of Juggler Method, confident that I would be winging it less often in the field.
Highly recommended.
Okay, so the first thing to point out is, weirdly enough (given how much I enjoyed it) that this is not for everyone. In the same way, that there is no one guy or one line that “works” on all women all of the time. I like to believe that the majority of guys don’t want to wear a metaphorical straight jacket fitted to them when they meet women, but I’m an optimist. If you want to learn a bunch of lines, NLP techniques, magic tricks and to how to dress and style your hair in an identi-kit PUA fashion, then go do that. That’s not the point of this event. CA and Wayne want to give guys the skills needed to create real connections with people, give them the skills to express them self, teach them how to be more authoritative, to have high expectations of others and how to, more than anything else I guess, be themselves. So did it fulfill those criteria? For me, the answer is a resolute yes!
Now is a good time to talk about the conversation camp. In varying degrees, including stories, role-play, group participation exercises, Q & As, Wayne breakdowns the CA methods and what they mean in theory and practice. I’m not going to talk about the content too much as you can read about that on the CA website and I’m sure the CA guys are more than capable of doing that themselves.
I’ve rambled on far too long. The point I want to get across is that I enjoyed this weekend immensely and got a great deal out of it. I had a lot of preconceived ideas about what Wayne and Harry (the London instructor) would be like, but they really blew me away (not literally), after the weekend I had a realization that these guys are not supermen, but they are guys with the confidence to be themselves, up sometimes and generally just be okay with that… try, learn, burn, cool down, then get back up and do it again.
On a personal note as well, elements of the method (especially those about being authoritative and having big expectations of others) are already permeating my life and create a positive influence. So I want to say a big thanks to Wayne, Harry and dR for creating a great event and giving us 100%.

I’ve been meaning to write since Conversation Camp (CC) ended. It was an incredible experience. Wayne is truly a master, a guy who is at that stage of his game where we all want to be: he doesn’t run game, he IS game. Meaning: his game is so integrated into his personality, he doesn’t think about it anymore, it’s just him.
He’s a bit of a dork, of course, but I get the feeling that’s also part of his game. Keeps him under the radar. But his inner dork helps him relate to real guys who are trying to raise (or acquire) their game. Since we were only 5 students, we could ask whatever we wanted and go deeper on things if we were confused. We also did lots of role playing, which I liked because it took what we were learning from theoretical to practical. It’s one thing to hear Wayne describe escalation, it’s another thing to try it in front of your bros while they listen with what Wayne calls a “critical ear”. Great way to learn. (Btw – if you haven’t tried that with your PUA buddies, it’s definitely worth doing).
So much of what I’ve picked up through the readings, the video and my first Charisma camp with Dan (SHH) (also excellent) came together that weekend.
Another thing I liked about the weekend was that the CC techniques can be applied in virtually all aspects of my social life. And I’m using them everyday: kino, “I” statements, speaking in concrete, descriptive terms, getting information, talking to groups. Works, just as well with guys or in business, as it does with chicks.
I was lucky enough to get to hang out with Wayne after the camp and we had a ton of fun. I managed to get him to have check out my Match.com profile which he shredded for being way too safe. He re-wrote it for me and made it a thousand times better. On the last night we went to a coffee shop and I sarged this chick who eventually blew me off. Wayne arrived about 10 minutes later and after flirting with her, he got her to give me her digits. Sweet charity.
The other night at a party I spoke to one of the most beautiful women I’ve every met. I would not have gone near her before the camp. But this time, I actually felt relaxed approaching her. Used Juggler method all the way: asked open ended questions, kino’d, escalated, got information (she’s single) and left with her number. Nice.
I also met some great guys at CC who are into improving their game. Three of us spent about 5 hours at the Museum of Modern Art on Saturday (one of Wayne’s favorite sarging spots), working on our game and then going into the field and using it. Had a blast! Great class — I highly recommend it.
