Once everyone is seated and ready, the bulk of the gaslighting begins. As you bring out the food, describe each dish like a proud mother or Hannibal Lecter at a dinner party.
Misdirection and subtle confidence are more effective than intense insistence. Your co-conspirators must be on the same page and will be key in reaffirming the story.
Keep track of your lies; consistency is your friend. You might even want to avoid alcohol if you're not a skilled liar.
One thing to keep in mind is how big of a con you can manage. If you're unused to lying or don't have the energy, you may want to keep it simple.
