From your question it is obvious that you are a novice in the gaming community. The Povich is a very amateur technique that has an extremely low success rate. The success to slap ratio on average is around 0.2 per gamer, excluding casual dismissals or total disregard to techniques. This amounts to 5 slaps for every 1 success, a noteworthy ratio, particularly if you have a sensitive face and are averse to being slapped; you'd be a fool to even attempt it.
The Povich originated in the United Kingdom in the early 90's. At the time, prominent talk show hosts, Trisha Opener or Jeremy Kyle were the original talk shows used to bait. Later, when this technique crossed the pond to America, Maury Povich was substituted for the British talk shows.
You simply approach a target and ask her for an opinion on whether or not a friend should appear on the talk show. The conversation should proceed in a linear manner as follows:
Gamer: "Hey, I need an opinion...blah blah. " My friend has been asked to go on the Maury Povich Show blah blah. Cool I know, well anyway, he's got a secret admirer, and so…..What do you think, should he or not?"
Always disagree with your targets opinion and neg. her a little...
Gamer:"See i think that his admirer may turn out to be a man, so that would be so embarrassing for him and he's kinda shy, but it would be fun. What would you do?"
If they say that they wouldn't go on it, but your friend should go – then you have your in.
Gamer: "So, you'd make my friend go but you wouldn't do it yourself. You're not adventurous or spontaneous are you, how do your friends take you out... etc, etc,"
The Povich is an outdated technique and it should only be attempted if you enjoy being slapped. In more modern times, the Maury Povich Show has been substituted by other like Jerry Springer, Dr. Phil, Judge Judy, and Squawk Box.
