What psychological tricks work on most people?

The mirror behind the bar trick.

Story time, folks.

There was once a bar owner who was fed up that his patrons seemed to get particularly angry and confrontational when they had been drinking for a while. He wasn’t sure why this was the case, but he knew that he needed to find a way to prevent these kinds of incidents from occurring.

One day, the bar owner had an idea. He decided to install a large mirror behind the bar. At first, his patrons didn’t really notice the mirror, but as the night went on, they began to realize that they could see their own reflections in it. As they looked at themselves, they were able to take a step back and see the way they were behaving from a different perspective. They saw the frowns on their faces and the tense posture of their bodies, and they realized that they were getting angry for no good reason.

This realization had a calming effect on the patrons. They began to relax and let go of their anger, and as a result, the bar became a much more peaceful and enjoyable place to be.

The bar owner was thrilled with the results. The mirror behind the bar had turned out to be a simple but effective solution to a complex problem, and he was grateful for the opportunity to create a more harmonious atmosphere for his customers.
