This little stunt is almost too perfect:
You take your phone, scroll through your contacts and choose your intended target. For the purposes of this example, let’s call him Marco. Ring him up, turn on some ambient background music and put your phone in a sock on the coffee table. When you hear Marco on the line, that’s when it’s time to start weaving your spell. Begin speaking out loud.
“I gotta introduce you to my friend Marco sometime. That guy’s awesome, you’ll love him. I do. He’s hilarious…just a good dude, you know? Actually, you know what the coolest thing about Marco is, is that he….” CLICK.
That’s it. Next time you need someone to help you move, Marco’s your man.
What’s truly cool about the staged pocket call is not only have you managed to manipulate your friend into liking you more, but, even if your friend does find out what you’ve done, even they’ll have to admit that it was a pretty cool little scheme. Brilliant in it’s simplicity.
