- THE EYE DETECTOR
-
-
- This is not a trick or a gimmick. It is
- a valuable tool that can be of great
- assistance in your everyday life. You
- can use it for entertainment purposes
- however.
-
- Researchers have discovered that if you
- show people photographs of normal
- everyday items, the pupils of their eyes
- remain pretty much the same. When shown
- sexually oriented photos of the opposite
- sex, their pupils would dilate
- dramatically. Further research showed
- that whenever a volunteer was shown
- something that they wanted very much,
- the pupils would again dilate.
- Con-versely, when people are telling a
- blatant lie, the same thing happens.
-
- You have to be watching very closely to
- see this happen, but a suddenly dilated
- pupil can tell you a lot.
-
- How can you use this information? I hope
- explanation is not necessary as far as
- detecting lies go. You can of course
- use this for negotiations, making
- purchases, forming partnerships etc.
- While it can make you more careful and
- is valuable, nevertheless, this is not
- foolproof. You should not accuse anyone
- of lying unless you are positive. This
- is just a tool. It is not 100%. Use it
- as an indicator only.
-
- It can also be handy in relationships.
- The next time you are flirting with
- someone, you might make mildly
- suggestive comments and study the eyes,
- watching for a sudden flare of the
- pupils. Again, be careful and tactful.
- You don't want to be sued for
- harassment.
-
- For entertainment purposes, you might
- use something like the following. Pick
- a volunteer and seat them in front of
- you. Take four blank pieces of paper or
- cards and draw a big dollar sign on one
- of them and leave the other three blank,
- or write something benign on them like
- "pen," "pencil" and "paper clip." Tell
- your subject that the dollar sign
- represents one million dollars that you
- have just given them. Tell them to
- visualize the one thing in their life
- that they want more than anything.
- Something that they would be able to
- purchase with that million dollars.
- Make sure that they have something real
- in mind. Tell them to visualize the
- color, to really see it in their mind's
- eye. Picture it clearly.
-
- Then you instruct them to pretend that
- the dollar sign represents the million
- and it will be theirs to buy their
- dream, unless. . . you can tell which
- card the dollar sign is written on.
-
- Have someone else shuffle the cards or
- paper, mixing them up. When they are
- handed back to your subject, they should
- be concealed from you. If you are
- sitting at a table, your volunteer may
- simply hold them under the table out of
- your line of sight. If you are not at a
- table, use a towel or tray to obstruct
- your vision, hiding the cards from your
- sight. You MUST still be able to see
- your subject's eyes. Tell them to look
- at the cards one at a time and to then
- look at you before going on to the next
- one. You may have to ask them to look
- at one or two cards again. When they
- look up, you are of course studying
- their pupils. When they look up and you
- notice that their pupils are dilated,
- you know which card the dollar sign is
- on. You then amaze your audience by
- telling them that the dollar sign is on
- the third card they looked at (or
- whichever).
-
- If there is light behind you or the room
- is somewhat bright, their pupils might
- become somewhat smaller. This is a
- telltale because it tells you that the
- pupils were larger. They will dilate
- again as the eyes adjust.
-
- When they are looking at the blank or
- benign cards, there will be little or no
- change in the eyes. The card with the
- dollar sign will produce a much more
- noticeable response.
-
- If you think that your subject is going
- to try and trick you, you might appoint
- a member of your audience to act as a
- sort of watchdog to see that your
- instructions are carried out. Or to
- watch for any cheating on either of your
- parts.
-
- Practice this a few times with friends
- or family before trying it with an
- audience. People will think that you
- can read minds if this is done
- correctly.
-
- I am not going to attempt to tell you
- all of the possibilities that this
- concept has. Law enforcement agencies,
- customs officers, lawyers, personnel
- officers etc. all have their own uses
- for this principle. If you just
- remember it and use it a few times, you
- will be amazed at the information this
- will give you. It can also give you
- quite a reputation.
-
- Imagine the possibilities.
