Tricking someone is often necessary when working, negotiating and interacting is simple. Storing and then showing someone the truth is fun and useful in a variety of contexts, from psychological research to business to pranking. Cheating someone is very fun and can be done simply. Tricking other people into doing what you want, whether it's just to be a prankster or to make you look smart, can be done in a few simple steps. However, remember that you will be playing with other people's feelings and beliefs.
Step
Method 1 of 4: Choosing Your Target
Step 1. Determine the desired end result
You should have a clear goal of what you want from other people and what the benefits of your pranks will be. This will help you plan tricks, determine when tricks will be revealed, and select targets.
Step 2. Select the target
Your target has to have what you want, whether it's money or just a laugh, and has to trust you. You must be able to approach the target openly without being suspected. So, the target should be someone you know well. He must also have a good sense of humor so as not to be offended by his tricks. You have to observe the behavior and hobbies of the target according to the difficulty level of the trick you want to make.
- Look for potential secondary targets to manipulate the primary target. This target will be an accomplice (the person who helps you perform the trick) or the scapegoat (the person to blame for the trick) if your trick is cruel enough to upset someone. You can engage him in an honest way (telling a trick to do) or using a trick. An accomplice has the potential to profit from your actions because he takes a high risk and becomes a key player in the tricks performed. Therefore, it is very important to keep him happy.
- Make sure you only tell your tricks to close friends. Lies can be detected through verbal and nonverbal language. Having an accomplice who is also good at deceiving will make it harder for you to get caught. Choose someone you trust, and has the ability according to the trick you want to play.
Step 3. Develop one or more tactics to deceive the target
Cheating someone, to some extent, requires that you modify your own behavior to make the lie sound convincing. If you don't know your target very well, you can introduce a fake personality, as long as every detail is consistent and you don't reveal who you really are.
Choose an identity that will get a good response from the target. Offering your target similar skills and hobbies (if your target is a fan of the game, you'll have to pretend you like the game too) will make you more attractive and in a better position to trick him. Your nature must be the same as your real identity unless you want to end the relationship with the person after the trick is done
Method 2 of 4: Gaining Someone's Trust
Step 1. Provide incentives
You need a reason to get the accomplice to trust you and be duped later. You can achieve this goal by having an identity that is useful to them (having expertise in the area they want) or by developing honest and mutually beneficial relationships.
Try to win her over by exchanging requests, and thank her if she helps you. People tend to be more trusting and helping others they have helped before. You have to approach him with a reasonable request so that he will do it. If he's tired or exhausted, he's more likely to agree to your request anyway
Step 2. Gain credibility and reputation as an honest person
You can use accomplices for this purpose, by falsely reporting the target to trust you. Returning the favor and honoring the relationship early in the relationship will help you do this. You have to make the target believe that you are an honest person and that your aim is not bad. Your target must misjudge your personality and behavior.
Step 3. Stimulate empathy by imitating the other person's personality and exhibiting positive behavior
You can gain your target's trust by imitating his behavior, repeating his name, nodding, using positive words, repeating his words, and not contradicting him. Copying someone's behavior and attitudes will make them feel more empathetic and receptive to your behavior and traits. Don't be a sweet-mouthed person, because people usually don't respond well to excessive praise or an attitude that seems fake. Show the above behavior in a subtle and practiced manner.
Method 3 of 4: Performing Tricks Quickly
Step 1. Make sure everyone and everything needed to perform the trick is ready
Your accomplice must know when to act, what to say, and what to do. Your scapegoat must be in place, if you intend to blame him. You also have to make sure the trick is fast and effective before you start, because you only have one chance.
Step 2. Execute your trick
You can use your target's trust in you to pull off any trick, whether it's a simple trick or a prank, depending on who your target is. A simple trick can work effectively without damaging your relationship with the target. You can use the basic structure listed below to create a trick. However, remember to set the severity of your trick, as well as think about how much you want to continue on good terms with the target.
- Use semantic trickery to bet using tools. You can use the old trick. like “Bet I can get the change under the napkin without lifting the napkin”, or things like that, to trick the target into picking up the napkin for you, then taking the change underneath.
- Betray the target's trust to humiliate him. If you want to embarrass the target, you can use the trust that has been built with him. Dig up personal information, then distribute it to the public or certain people to embarrass the target, if you have the heart.
- Hit the target. You can lure them, until they really believe it, to come to an award ceremony or other fake event, and then destroy or tarnish their appearance, for example by pouring sewer water.
Step 3. Cover or expose your prank
If you don't want to be caught as the mastermind behind the trick, you have to show sympathy, surprise, and pretend you don't know anything. Your reaction to the prankster's target can change your relationship with him or her. If the trick is not outrageous, reveal who you are as the mastermind behind the prank.
Method 4 of 4: Getting Out of Troubles
Step 1. Don't play tricks that are too cruel or can hurt others
This will allow you to commit other scams in the future, as well as maintain a good reputation. A target's report of a fraud being committed will make others suspect you, even if you tell the truth. It's also much easier to blame someone if your prank doesn't cross the line or damage someone's reputation.
Step 2. Avoid feeling guilty
If your prank didn't hurt someone, this is easy, but if it did, you should try to reduce feelings of guilt. You don't have to think about sin, and one shouldn't view ignorance as sinful. You may have to lie to yourself about the consequences of the trick so that any ethical issues that arise can be more easily handled.
Step 3. Go away from the place of doing pranks
After executing the trick, if you're not good at tricking your target, he'll get suspicious and accuse you of lying. Your ability to get off track is key to repeating the trick, while maintaining a good reputation (ironically, this is what makes you such a great con artist). If your trick fails, you must be willing to give up.
Step 4. Find an accomplice
Doing another trick on someone through an accomplice will keep you from feeling guilty. You have to find someone to blame, forgetful, not credible, or other people don't like in order to reduce the chances of leaking tricks. Blaming others is hard, but if your prank was done in public and well received by the target, your accomplice will usually want to take the "credit."
Tips
- Control your nonverbal and verbal language. Lies are usually lacking in detail, far-fetched, and ineffective when incorporated into the story you are telling your target.
- Detecting a lie without special training, while effective, has only a 50% chance of success. There can fool many people many times.
Warning
- Being a cheater and pranking people will make it even more difficult for you to get gratification and a chance to mischief next time, because people who are caught lying will not be trusted even if they tell the truth.
- Lying to hide the facts is much easier than lying to hide feelings.
