Our history: Charisma Arts has gone through a lot of changes throughout the years. It started as a way of formalizing the ideas I’d worked on previously for several years into a company. I brought in a business manager and we contracted instructors. We had bootcamps and seminars going all over the world. But things really took off with the publishing of the Book The Game in which I wrote a chapter under the callsign Juggler. I did several TV shows, the biggest being Seduction School for the UK network Channel Four and Welcome to the Parker for Bravo in the US. I had spots on radio shows and we even started podcasting way before people knew what that was. Our instruction got written about by Reuters, several other magazines and newspapers. Those were the heydays.

But after the crash of 2009, we had to reduce things. After the economy got better, I’d lost the will to run a big company. I had no desire to supervise people anymore. And I didn’t feel like teaching guys to pick up girls or make conversation with strangers. I wanted to do those things myself. So I did and eventually met my wife, and got married for the second time in Hawaii. (She jokes I have a punch card.)

Over time I’ve realized I love talking and writing about this stuff. I love sharing the stories. And teaching is wonderful too. I don’t think I’ll ever retire from it completely. So here we are. Welcome to the site. Hope you find it helpful and feel free to reach out.
