9. When you tell a joke in a big group of people, the person who you turn to look at first is the person you’re closest to.
10. Do this to someone: Tell them to look into your eyes and say they can’t stop looking.
Ask them what they had for lunch three days ago and chances are they won’t be able to answer. It’s very hard to remember something without moving your eyes.

11. Whispering something to someone almost guarantees that they’ll whisper back.
12. When trying to find something, look right to left instead of left to right. You’re more likely to miss things because your eyes are used to looking one way.
13. If you want someone to believe a totally untrue story, repeat it three separate times adding details each time. For example: “You can say to someone ‘remember that time at school, when Mr Smith accidentally ran over the math teacher in the teacher’s car park?’ The first time they won’t and will question you, but then repeat the same thing later with a couple of details thrown in and the third time you mention it, they will remember it happening.”
14. According to SpenFen, use the power of priming. For example, Tell someone this: “What is the word spelled ‘S-H-O-P’?” Make sure that they say: “Shop.” Then immediately ask them: “What do you do when you come to a green light?” Their answer will likely be wrong.”
15. Having someone do a favor for you is a good way to get them to like you more.
16. If you’re playing a game against someone and you want them to mess up, ask them how exactly they’re playing so well. They’ll overthink it.
17. If you want to mess with someone who’s counting something, say a set of numbers in order instead of saying random numbers. They’re brain will catch onto the pattern.
18. From Two_Times_Thirty: “Bet a friend/family member that they can’t taste the difference between whole/2%/1%/skim milk, or some combination thereof. Blindfold them and have them begin tasting the milks. Now, replace the last milk with orange juice. The brain prepares the body for milk, and the unexpected acidity usually causes a gag reflex, and sometimes vomiting. Keep a bucket handy.”
