There is another way to beat a lie detector test: 1.) Remember that the test and the tester are frauds. 2.) The first part of this fraud is that the tester will try to convince you that the machine actually works. Do not believe it. 3.) To make you believe that the machine really works the tester will have you cut a deck of cards and try to tell you what card you cut to. This is part of the fraud. 4.) The deck is what a magician calls a 'shaved deck'. Half the cards are short and wide and 26 cards of a single value, the other 26 cards are long and narrow and have an assortment of values. 5.) The operator will handle the deck so that he can show you a variety of cards. Then he will put the deck in front of you and ask you to cut to a card so that he can prove to you that the machine works. 6.) He expects that you will pick up the deck so that you get one of the 26 duplicate cards. 7.) Instead pick up the deck, fan it and say, 'This is a very interesting deck of cards. It has a whole bunch of ____s in it. I've never seen a deck of cards like this before. I think I'll keep it to show to your boss. After all if this machine of yours actually worked you wouldn't need this trick deck of cards to make people think it works.' Put the deck of cards in your pocket. 8.) Announce that you will have nothing to do with any person who resorts to cheap tricks like crooked cards. Walk out on the exam. Denounce the examiner loudly and widely to anyone and everyone as a cheap fraud. If your boss made you take the test publicly ask him how could he be so gullable as to be taken in by such a con artist. If it was a cop that made you take the test, denounce the examiner in the press and tell how he used a cheap card trick to make his machine seem to work, then ask how can the cops be so dumb as to be taken in by such an obvious charlatain.
