Adam Lyons' business is sure picking up

By Letitia Rowlands

Well hello there, ladies ... Adam Lyons, the world's No.1 pick-up artist.
WATCH out girls - pick-up artists in training will be trawling the streets this weekend searching for opportunities to put their newfound lady-killer skills to the test.
The world's official No.1 pick-up artist, Adam Lyons, is in Australia for the first time and is holding a three-day boot camp in Sydney tomorrow. For a cool $1300-a-head, 20 attendees will spend the weekend with Lyons and five trainers who will assess what each man is doing wrong in their search for love and guide them through practical pick-up scenarios in the city's coffee shops and nightclubs.
Lyons, who was awarded the title of top pick-up artist at the World Pick-Up Artist Summit in Hollywood last September, said most men who did his course were searching for a serious relationship.
"When people think of pick-up artists they think of sleazy men looking for a string of one-night stands, but that's not the case," he said. "Mostly they are just scared of spending their life alone."
Lyons, from Britain, began researching successful pick-up skills when he found himself unhappily single.
His efforts paid off when he met his future wife Amanda, to whom he has been married for four years.
Lyons and his wife run UK company Pick Up Artist Training and hold boot camps all over the US and Britain.
He is holding two boot camps in Sydney over the next fortnight - both sold out within 48 hours.
