Instructions

1. Be confident. The trick to being mysterious is to keep them guessing. You need to walk and talk like you know everything there is to know, no matter what. Keep your chin up and your chest out, and always speak with authority.

2. Smile. A slightly sinister smile works in just about every occasion. If you don't know the answer to a question, just smile and chuckle. If someone wants to know something that you aren't willing to divulge, just smile. It will drive him crazy and he won't be able to figure out what you're thinking.

3. Never answer questions fully. The trick to being mysterious is to leave people wanting more. So, when someone wants to know something, only give her part of the answer. Make her work for the rest.

4. Leave your shades on, 24-7. They say that the eyes are the window to the soul, so keep yours covered at all times. That way, when you have conversations with people, they'll have no idea what you're doing behind the glasses. They won't know if you're being sarcastic or sincere, and they'll always be left wondering.

Tips & Warnings
