Bluffing: Can't Read My... [Period 5, Wed]
Today Bond had set up pairs of chairs facing each other, and directed students to sit in them as they arrived.
"More important than being able to have a poker face, is being able to keep a poker face regardless of stimulus," he explained once they were all seated. "Now you've had taste of that with our dancing exercise a few weeks back, but even then you had the means to distract yourself or your partner when you were close to breaking. This week you won't have even that, as I would like you to sit, quietly, keeping eye contact with the person across from you, until one of breaks in some fashion. Then you can either try again, or talk with your partner about how and why it worked or didn't work."
