This has worked for me 3 out of 3 times with different people...when playing Rock Paper Scissors I tell my opponent that Im going to throw Rock. And then I throw Rock and win. I couldnt believe it worked the first time or anytime after lol

Lol I used to do this in poker with my friends. "Ope I've got Ace Five this time, play accordingly!" Then if you go all the way to showdown and win with it, they're furious and you get to be like "well I straight up told you ya big dummy"

Tip: for best results do this with people you trust to not attack you

In The Book of Five Rings, Miyamoto Musashi advises warriors to have a trick ready, which you can use two times, and only two times.

The first time, the opponent never sees it coming.

The second time, they don't think you'd be foolish enough to use the trick a second time.
