Lie Show Turns People Into Lie Detectors

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Spotting a liar is all about reading the signs.

On April 26, liars are hitting the stage of New York's Cornelia Street Cafe for "The Liar Show," in which four performers tell a funny personal story and the audience has to figure out whose is pure fiction.

Show creator and host Andy Christie says the event is a good training ground for spotting a fibber in real life.

"You become a pretty good lie detector," he explained. "You learn to look for subtle body language, like watery eyes, stuttering, and anyone looking a bit shifty."

Christie says long pauses before answering a question, trying to cover up a mistake in a story, and the blood draining from someone's face are also good indications of a liar.

But for those wanting to get away with a little white lie, Christie has some advice.

"You have to believe your own lie," he said. "If you tell the story a few times, you get better at making it more believable."
