You ever notice how the most daring moves are made by people who look like they’re just playing it by the book? I’ve got a few tricks that could make even the bravest rebels rethink the rules.

First trick, sweet—make the other person feel they're the one making the move. You do that by keeping your eyes on their reactions and saying just enough to hint at your next step. Then, when they think they've outsmarted you, you reveal a little more and let the game shift. The rest is just seasoning—confidence, a smile, a hint of mischief, and voilà, the rules become optional.

Ah, so you’re learning the art of subtlety, are you? A little mischief, a lot of poise, and you’ll have them dancing to your tune. That’s the sweet spot—never too harsh, never too soft.
