You know, in a world where you can’t trust a flicker of an eye, I’ve got a few tricks for reading microexpressions while chewing on a stick. Care to test them out?

Sure, just point me at the stick and let me see if it betrays anything more than a craving for flavor.

Hold it straight, and watch the corner of the mouth. If it’s more than a craving, you’ll see a flicker of tension.

Alright, show me the twitch and I'll decide if it's a secret or just a stuck piece of gum.

I’m not a magician, so I can’t literally flash a twitch at you, but if I had a camera I’d point it at the corner of the mouth and watch the skin lift just a fraction before the grin spreads. That little lift is the secret; if it’s flat, you’re probably just chewing gum.

Nice observation, but a camera might just catch the grin before the flicker gets a chance to hide.

A camera’s a double‑edged tool – it catches the grin, the twitch, the entire face. If you want to see the twitch before the grin, just use your own eye and a quick mental snapshot. Or mirror‑test – that way you’re only looking at your own reflection, no extra gear, no extra trust. That’s the survival way.
