Tips about lying from a top liar:

“From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. Tomorrow West Virginians will crown a new liar. … Bil Lepp will be one of the judges. He’s a professional storyteller and has won the competition’s top prize many times. For him, a good lie requires technique.”

Mr. BIL LEPP (Five-Time Liar Champion): “I think the most important thing is that it starts out at least a little bit believable, and then the exaggeration gradually expands until you’ve taken us somewhere that’s totally unbelievable, but you’ve done it in a subtle way so that we just go along with whatever’s going on.”

Here’s more from Bil expounding further on the art of telling a lie. And here he is telling one of his masterful and entertaining lies.
