1. Misdirection (esp pickpockets) 2. Time pressure (urgency) 3. Opportunity (good deal syndrome-something for nothing ) 4. Social compliance (fooled by authority badges/symbols) 5. Social proof (looking to others to cue behavior) In todays tech/social media world, consider that anything we read could be considered propaganda until fact checked.

I wonder if "misdirection" is the right word to use (although I realize he did use it). What I've noticed, and what it looked like his pickpocket example did, was to get the target to give you information you wouldn't have otherwise. Like someone who calls on the phone to ask if you have a daughter, then later tells you he has the daughter in his custody and wants money to return her.

There’s a simple fix for the keypad issue. Always drag your fingers over any keypad you use after you’ve used it. This negates UV activated lights, heat sensing, fingerprints, any sort of keypad that can be used to pick up your information, just drag your fingers over after you’ve finished using it. Particularly useful for stuck ATM card scams.

Con artists exist only because of human’s GREED.

One of the best Ted Talks I watched.

He did a magic trick then told us people can be manipulated. Didn’t learn much, but the lecture was engaging and he had me conned until I realized this. TED itself is often a glorified con but fortunately I don’t have anything to lose by watching their videos since I’m trying to distract myself on KZread anyways

It may have something to do with the low quality of other magicians TEDx Talks. I seen a few and they come on ad do tricks, never any insights into how they pull off their tricks. They don't disclose their sleight of hand or the mind set of their victims. This man does both, but how are people who have watched the others, or at least some portion of each of the others before clicking the next video, suppose to realize this is the real deal? I almost didn't watch it, except its the day after Christmas, and a Saturday, so news is sparse, so I decided to give it a shot. Glad I did.

I tought this was going to be an hour long lol Interesting Mr Conran used assumptions to sound more appealing. Saying Evryone, and none of us. Well that did not include me. Up to his old manipulative tricks again hehe

@11:39 - yes, that's a particularly bad email, but not for the reason he's mentioned. Ms. Surugaba clearly states that her father was a supporter of Moammar Gadhafi, and despite the current conservatives' use of Russian interference to slither into American political power, I suspect that an ordinary citizen offering aid and succor to a daughter of a loyal follower of an enemy of the USA could easily garner all kinds of unwanted attention from the FBI, Dept. of Justice (if they were doing their damned jobs!), Homeland Security, etc.

Perhaps this speech is everything that is wrong with our society showing itself through a promoter for those that are lacking who I found a way to make themselves feel great.
