One of the best ways to trick your friends is to convince them that you have a twin. While this isn't easy, if you do it right, you'll be laughing for years while re-watching Freaky Friday and It Takes Two. The trick here is to make you believe you have a twin by giving hints and then playing a surprise attack. If you want to know how to make your friends think you have a twin, see Step 1 below to get started.
Step
Part 1 of 2: Getting Ready
Step 1. Determine your twin's personality
His nature must not be the same as yours or this deception will not be fun. Think of all the famous twins, both fake and real - like the Olsen twins, Mowry, or the famous pair of fake twins, Steve Urkel and Stefan Urquelle. They differentiate themselves by not appearing exactly the same. One of them is usually more reserved and thoughtful, while the other is more innocent and cheerful. However, you don't have to follow this common twin stereotype. Not all twins are going to be as different as Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield from the Sweet Valley High series, but you'll still need to define a few different characteristics in order for your twin to look like a real human being, living and breathing.
- You have to find a different personality for him; If you are adventurous, your twin may prefer to play music. If you want to be a veterinarian, he may be afraid of animals or the great outdoors.
- Think carefully. Sit down and make a list of all the characteristics of your twin. Write down the things he likes and hates, and prepare at least five personality characteristics. Does he enjoy traveling? Act spontaneously? Funny? Shy? Not good at socializing? The more you get to know him, the easier it will be to convince your friend that he really exists.
Step 2. Give it a name
Don't pick a name that's too weird or your story will be hard to believe (unless your own name is weird, of course). Make your friends believe that you and your twin come from the same parent. If your name is Dini, prepare a twin with a common name, such as Rini. However, if your name is Permanasari, Permatasari's twin name can be more trusted.
Step 3. Choose your twin style
This style can relate to his personality. If she's adventurous, she might like to wear clothes that are more casual, casual, and simple than if she was the perfect type of girl. Choose clothes that match your twin's personality and make sure the model is not too close to your sense of style. However, you should also stock up on clothes for her, so don't go too far from your preference so you don't feel like all the clothes in your closet are brand new.
If you wear glasses, keep your twin from wearing them (and vice versa). This is a great way to differentiate yourself from your twin
Step 4. Make excuses for why your twin isn't seen often
If you're really serious about making your twin look real, come up with reasons why he doesn't go to the same school or travel to places you like. You could say that he went to a boarding school or was training at the National Training Center because he likes to play badminton. Or maybe your parents divorced so badly that they lived separately from you. Whatever the reason, prepare to be convincing, or your friends will quickly realize that you're lying.
- You also have to be quick to respond. If a friend asks why your twin is never seen, answer right away or you'll fail to make fun of them.
- Another thing you can say is that you and your twin, who didn't go to the same school as you, really didn't get along. This could be another reason why he is never seen.
Step 5. Use Photoshop to make your story more believable
If you really want to make your twin look real, edit a photo you can show a friend to make this deception look even more believable. However, you don't have to show the photo on purpose. Just set it as your computer or phone wallpaper and let your friends see for themselves. Here's an example of the steps you can take:
- Use a camera with a timer to take a self-portrait at a location.
- It's time to dress up as your twin! Once you've done that, sit on a different side of the same location, such as on the opposite side of the couch, and take another self-portrait.
- Edit photos so you can cut out the part that includes you and paste that part into the other, so there are two versions of yourself in one photo. Ideally, you will look as if you are sitting next to your twin.
- Change the opacity of the image between 30 and 50% so you can see both at the same time.
- Use the Eraser Tool and select a soft brush to erase all the silhouettes of the parts of the photo that don't fit. Remove all these parts.
- Change the photo opacity back to 100%.
- Save it and use it to trick friends!
Step 6. Create an online persona for your twin
If you're really serious, create a Facebook persona for her so you really look like you have a twin. You can dress up as your twin and set up Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts for him - or even a blog if you're really up for it. Creating a presence on social media can help make your twin look real. Friends will doubt the need for you to do online imaging for someone who doesn't exist.
- If your other friends are also involved, they can message your fake twin to make your story more believable. Just make sure none of the haters on social media are going to say, "Hey, you don't really have a twin."
- The Facebook account for your twin will look suspicious if it doesn't have a photo of the two of you (unless you've used the photoshop trick above). However, you can also create his personality as a mysterious person, who doesn't like many photos except his Facebook profile picture.
- You can make a friend request to the friend you want to trick on social media, but don't make it too obvious. You could also say, "My twin said you guys are friends on Facebook now? Great."
- You can even exchange messages with your twin to make your story seem more believable. If you've ever told him that he went to a boarding school or something, you can say something like, "I miss you! Can't wait to see you!".
Part 2 of 2: Spawning a Twin
Step 1. Choose a victim who doesn't really know you
It's hard to trick someone you've been friends with for years into thinking you have a twin - unless that person is really gullible. If you want to trick your friends, choose someone who has never been to your house or who doesn't spend much time with you. Otherwise, he'll find it hard to believe that you suddenly have a sibling he didn't know about before.
- It's even better if he hasn't been to your house before, unless you plan on preparing lots of photoshop-edited photos of the twins.
- Ideally, the target of this deception is the new kid at school. However, be careful - don't overdo it because being the new student is not easy for him.
Step 2. Name your twin casually
Once you've set your goals, talk about your twin in stages. Do not exaggerate. Just say something like, "Sarah just told me about this new show…" and get her to ask who Sarah is. Don't answer, "Sarah, my twin, is awesome," or you'll get caught. Find a way to talk about it several times during the conversation, instead of letting your twin visit your friend on the spur of the moment.
You can even ask other co-conspirators to also talk about your twin casually. The more people talk about it, the better
Step 3. Ask another friend to help
Doing the double trick trick alone can be a difficult thing to do. If you really want your lie to be convincing, ask your friends to mention the fact that you have a twin and support your claim. They can interact with your twin on social media, pretend to call them in front of your target, or just talk about how much fun they spent with them at the pool on the weekends. Just make sure you don't overdo it - create enough impression that the idea that you have a twin starts to make sense.
Be careful. Don't let the wrong people find out about this plan and expose your lies
Step 4. Find the reason for the absence
When the time comes, prepare an escape plan. You could say you can't come to the movies, but your twin might be able to come. Maybe you are at a party and your twin is out of the house; pretend you have to go out for him to come in. You can say you have the flu or get punished, but your twin can go out to play together. Whatever your reasons, make them believable without sounding too dramatic. You have to leave so your twin can show up, right?
Tell the target that you will be back soon. You could say something like, "My twin, Sarah, is so much more fun. You won't miss me."
Step 5. Come up with your fake twin
Once you've disappeared, it's time to put on your twin outfit. Do your hair in a different style, or do whatever it takes to make your acting believable. Then, appear where the target and your friends are. These friends can help you by greeting your twin, or pretending to be casual when he arrives. If you are alone with the target, things will be even more unbelievable.
- Start talking to your target. Make sure you use a slightly different voice so you don't sound too loud trying to fool him.
- Don't spend too much time trying to trick the target. After the initial shock, act normal. If you try too hard, he will soon notice your trick.
Step 6. Tell the target that he has been tricked
Once you've spent enough time acting as the twin, you can say something like, "You've got it!" or take off your disguise to show that you've been tricking him all along. You can take a picture of the surprised look on the target's face or ask your other friends to join in. Make sure your target doesn't feel like you're being mean, but just having a little fun.
Once you've tricked yourself, you can feel proud of your accomplishments and come back to life as someone who doesn't have a twin
Warning
- Don't do it if your target has the potential to tell everyone.
- You may fail!
