I'm hoping we can compile a list of routines here designed to build intrigue.
I've been using the spells routine a lot but would like some more material.
For those of you that don't know the spells routine here it is.
This is from a tyler durden post btw

DO YOU THINK SPELLS WORK?
**the hook.. gets interest
MY FRIEND, HE’S ALWAYS FINDING REASONS TO BREAK UP WITH GIRLS.. YOU KNOW, LIKE SEINFELD BLAH BLAH..
**social dynamics..
HE GETS THIS NEW GIRLFRIEND.. THEY’RE WATCHING A MOVIE ON THE COUCH, AND THEY KISS.. BUT HE DUMPS HER
**relationships/social dynamics
THE NEXT DAY, HE FINDS THIS THING UNDER THE COUCH
**intrigue buildup
ITS LIKE A SWEDE SATCHEL, WITH PARSLEY TYPE STUFF INSIDE, AND A FEATHER WRAPPED AROUND IT, TIED TOGETHER BY A LEATHER STRING.. AND ALL THIS WAX DRIPPED ALL OVER IT
**the unknown, intrigue
SO ANYWAY, A FEW DAYS LATER, WE’RE AT THE INCENSE STORE, BUYING INCENSE FOR MY LITTLE SISTER.. AND MY FRIEND ASKS THE GUY, “WHAT IS THIS”
**personality conveyance “I have a little sister, I’m safe”
HE CALLS OUT THE OTHER WORKER, AND HE’S THIS CRAZY LOOKING GUY.. YOU KNOW, BALD HEAD, GOATEE, ALL THAT..
**intrigue, suspense
HE SAYS “LOVESPELL” …. LIKE ITS NOTHING YOU KNOW.. JUST “LOVESPELL” ALL CASUAL
**intrigue, humour
ANYWAY, WE TAKE OFF.. BUT NEXT THING YOU KNOW, I HAVEN’T SEEN MY FRIEND IN MONTHS.. HE’S ALL WITH THIS GIRL LIKE 24/7..
**social dynamics, gets them thinking of passionate relationships blah blah
SO THE QUESTION IS: WAS IT THE SPELL, OR WAS IT PSYCHOLOGICAL???
**engages them (this is most extremely important)
