Default A few practice techniques.

Why bother with Fascination? It is a tool, a power tool in your kit of influence and face to face persuasion abilities

Some old timers, especially alpha males with outgoing personalities use old time salesmanship and it works just fine for THEM.

Their methods and techniques are hard to translate to introverts, to those less confident, less ego, less bullying so a softer approach works better.

By combining the best of all strategies and methods, by using your knowledge of salesmanship
hypnosis
cold reading
mesmerizing
fascinating

via understanding Pre Occupations, Breaking them, and using what skills you have, you have a higher chance of getting the results you want...

In sales, more sales.
In dating, more amenable dates.
In teaching, more attentive students

Begin with WHY you want to add fascination. Here are a few techniques.

Stand sideways to a mirror. Turn toward the mirror and pretend you see an old friend you haven't seen in awhile. Observe your face, your smile, the eyes, this is known as the look of friendly familiarity.
It can be very useful when breaking a stranger's preoccupation.

You begin with the idea you RECOGNIZE THEM like an old friend, they aren't sure at this point if they know you or not. As you approach, in a very friendly manner, you can then say OOPs, you reminded me of a dear friend, and for a minute I thought it was him/her...such a great guy, and then apologize and leave, with a Columbo like after thought, hey, you wouldn't be related to Fred Caruso would you?

Next exercise, make faces at yourself raise your eyebrows, one at a time if you can, sneer, smile, widen your eyes, note your pupils, look left, then right and just be a Jim Carrey character for two minutes creating looks.

See, the more nuances you have in the tool kit, the much easier they are to apply at the right time with the intent to amplify your thought, and to lessen their defenses at the RAS level.

Ultimate influence is minimal words, maximum response, so the more stimuli (visual) you can offer, you fire off different parts of their brain.

Third mirror technique, hear a sound in the distance. Listen for birds or trains or traffic, how is the expression on your face when you are trying to hear a distant sound?

Like all skills, practice and apply. It is the golf equivalent to HIT the ball and have the ball give you feedback.
Which is why a couple Sat. spent at the mall is like a year of study and rehearsal, it is a human behavior laboratory and you are the person in the white lab coat observing your "mice".
