that trick your brain plays on you when you have a fantastic dream that fixes some huge problem in an amazing way, but then you have to wake up and live your life like normal. something in your brain chemistry changes about the situation, because you feel like what happened in your dream felt vivid and real.
that thing where you like someone more after you've hugged them. oxytocin. what a trick.
when you eat smaller versions of food, you actually eat less, and the same with small plates.
the cheerleader effect (as seen on how i met your mother)- you see a group of people and they all seem really cool, but actually the cool that you're seeing is the cool within the group that has been amplified by the fact that they're in a group, and fit together well. when you look at one individual member of the pack, they are not that impressive. this also happens at stores when they put all the pretty colors near each other of shirts. even though you'll only buy one shirt, you're impressed by how the shirts look against each other.
when you shove all of the clothes that normally adorn your floor in your closet in a garbage bag, your room seems a lot cleaner.
when people like you, think you're pretty, or whatever, they are more inclined to believe what you say, even if you're wrong.
that thing zooey deschanel does to her voice to make it sound old-time-y and weird. a trick.
that thing where school makes you feel like biology is totally boring and rigid, but really it's crazy badass and sexy.
when i was little i would try to play that "pick a card, any card!" game. i would organize the entire deck by suit and make the person hold onto the card while i looked through the entire deck to ascertain which card was missing. that was not a trick.
