Poker players might call it the “tell” — it’s the idea that your body language tells your questioners if the words you’re saying are actually true or false. These subjects in a University of Chicago study on body language and lying were asked several general questions — and then told off camera to lie or tell the truth when answering. Can you tell truth from falsehood?

Vincenzo Coccotti: Sicilians are great liars. The best in the world. I'm Sicilian. My father was the world heavy-weight champion of Sicilian liars. From growing up with him I learned the pantomime. There are seventeen different things a guy can do when he lies to give himself away. A guys got seventeen pantomimes. A woman's got twenty, but a guy's got seventeen... but, if you know them, like you know your own face, they beat lie detectors all to hell. Now, what we got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothin', but you're tellin me everything. I know you know where they are, so tell me before I do some damage you won't walk away from.

Tried to do it with no audio playing, 7/10.
Two of the folks I got wrong were actually telling the truth, though. The other one I got wrong, that one knows how to tell a lie. I had to click the audio on for that one. Didn't even sound like some ? you'd lie about. -
The easiest lies to tell are stories people want to believe.

The greatest liar always tells the truth
(cause the truth can be unbelievable). -

When someone is talking watch their eyes. If their eyes move to the left, they are using their right brain which is the memory side. Much higher chance they are telling the truth.
If they are talking and glancing to the right, they are using their left brain which is the creativity side. More than likely lying.
