I think Mystery has very good insights about pickup that you should indeed embrace. But there is a lot of irrelevant stuff too. His model of pickup as levels in a computer game is actually quite accurate, and one technique in particular that I recommend is locking in, since seduction requires attention over a longer period of time (referring to the book The Art of Seduction here), and a lock in will give you that among other things. One thing I found worthless was compliance tests, since whether a girl complies with you doesn't mean shit - there are girls who are very submissive out of pure politeness or insecurity.
I wouldn't recommend routines and canned material either, unless you want a power trip and you see women as objects that should be conquered. I have met many girls during club nights who are passive and won't contribute to a conversation whatsoever, probably because they don't have any conversational skills. My natural reaction is to ignore them since I find them boring, and start talking to other people instead. But the thing is, the times I have been in a very talkative state, more or less having a monologue talking to a wall, they become attracted to me. This in turn means that if I just had a couple of hours of "material" (stories), I could get them into bed. So... If you want such girls (I don't) you can indeed use canned material to your advantage.
