- don't go with prefab. stale old lies, even those that have worked in previous situations, are easy to spot. always go with fresh on-the-spot inventions.
- the more inflammatory, the better. your opponent will be less likely to call your bluff if your lies seem impossibly outrageous. you can go too far with this, though, so be sure to test the waters of credulity before you go big.
- mix a bit of truth with that escargot. this is a long-standing principle, as seen in children's games such as "two truths and a lie." you will find it is harder to spot a lie when artfully blended with fragments that really happened.
- believe it, fervently. the easier it is for you to buy your own words, the sooner others will follow suit.
- never, ever reveal what is or isn't true. like a magician, true practitioners of the art don't spill the secret workings of their tricks.
