Magick Mike

The movie Magic Mike was a hit, so I hear-tell they're making a sequel. Well, more of the same might be kind of dull, so I have a suggestion for the sequel: Magick Mike. (Magick is the spelling Aleister Crowley decided to use to differentiate occult magic from stage magic and illusions.*)

So in Magick Mike, a Crowleyan Thelema acolyte wishes to find multiple partners for his sex magick rituals, but every woman he meets thinks he's a creep because he just wants to perform sex magick rituals instead of develop a relationship and settle down, get married and have children. So in order to attract women, he makes a deal with an infernal spirit to make him look like Channing Tatum, and he becomes a male stripper. And after trying all kinds of sex magick rituals, most of them not turning out the way he had hoped, he decides he prefers being a male stripper to magick anyway, and just drops his Thelema hocus-pocus stuff for full-time stripping and go-go dancing.

And if the makers of the Magic Mike sequel don't wish to go in this direction, perhaps Magick Mike could become a spin-off or homage movie.
