Learning to lie is only part of your training. To be the best liar you can be you'll also need some defense techniques for those occasions when you are caught lying, or generally saying something stupid.

The Counter Lie is both effective and easy to learn.

A good recent example is that of Property "Expert" Liz O'Kane.

Liz attracted a good deal of attention to herself, which is good, but she misused the attention by calling the bottom of the market many times.

This is a dangerous sitation for a budding liar. Your credibility is your greatest asset.

The solution, perfectly executed by Liz was to use The Counter Lie techniqie. Quite simply, accuse your opponents of lying.

Liz simple stated that she had been accused of calling the bottom of the market, something that she would never do.

In one fell swoop she erased her many attempts at calling the bottom of the market, and also cast doubt on the character of those who disagree with her.

Nicely done Liz, Liars everywhere salute you.
