I'm thinking this could go one of two ways (and I'd only try these in clubs that have high turnover and fewer regulars):
1) The guy you're hustling says he has no money for a dance. Your target is this customer. You are sitting close to another customer, and you loudly ask your target "Did you say you don't have $20 to spend on a dance?!" The aim here would be to indirectly shame your target customer by setting up the potential for another man to hear that he can't afford a dance, thus placing pressure on him to prove himself as a man.
2) The guy you're hustling says he has no money for a dance. Your target is a different customer. You start by loudly repeating "Did you say you don't have $20 to spend on a dance?" You then turn to a nearby customer (your actual target) and lightly ridicule the original customer. "Wanna hear something funny? This guy came into a strip club and can't afford a $20 dance!" You can take this in one of two directions. You can either return to your original customer and say "Are you SURE you don't have $20 to play with me?" or you can abandon your original customer and pull a fast hustle on the second guy. "I bet YOU aren't that lame. I bet you're ready to take me in the back right now. Let's go have fun!" (stand up, taking customer #2's hand) This puts pressure on the second customer to prove (and decide very quickly) that he is a more powerful male than the first guy, which taps into some pretty primal urges.
I've never tried either, and they're definitely high-risk hustles. I would only try option #2 on a customer who looks like a businessman personality type (never on a quiet-looking, sweet, thoughtful type). But if you have the right persona (ice queen, bitch, party girl), or even if you're just in a shitty mood and can't turn the night around, it might be worth a try.
Thoughts?
