Assignment 20- Gus Carlson

 One of my talents is convincing people of things that are outlandish or ridiculous. This skill can be used in a multitude of scenarios, especially for getting yourself out of a sticky situation. For this process, the only things you need are another person, a ridiculous claim, a quick mind, and persistence. The first step is to somehow reveal the fact to your target. The process is easier if they ask you a question first, because they are more likely to trust you. Next, you must provide some sort of backing up or evidence for your claim. If you make your fact seem to just be another truth interwoven into the bigger picture, it makes sense that it is more believable. The most important step if you want to accomplish anything is a adapting to the situation. If somebody questions you about your claim, you must be quick-witted enough to stay calm and answer questions. Finally, you can reveal your misdirection to the target if you wish to avoid any long lasting ill will. Following these steps will ensure you can convince people of anything in no time.
