Hey. I was just reading the stories of several famous con artists. They're abilities to decieve were amazing! If anyone knows specific tips on how people lie (ie body language, vocal tips, etc.) or how to convince someone of incorrect information, please post them. I'm not planning on going out and conning all my friends, but I think it must be useful to know and is very interesting. Thank you!

Since when is this a conspiracy, I think it would be more of a bad idea?

It's posted there as well. I figured I might get a better response if I put it up here as well.

Just watch A-Team reruns, carefully observing Templeton "Faceman" Peck. It's not so much convincing people, but acting in such a way that people are already convinced.

If you're interested in that sort of thing, you could purchase college Psychology and Sociology course textbooks-through Barnes and Noble, etc.

There is one thing that you need to understand about successful con men.

Whatever abilities they had, were dependent upon the greediness and the naivete of the MARKS.
