In fact, you've probably used it and don't even realize it. Let me give you an example of how it works, so that you can fully comprehend it.
If you have children, you can probably relate to this. When you tell children not to do something, what's first thing they do? They get into whatever it is that you just told them not to, why? Because you have accelerated their curiosity and desire to see what you have. If you were to apply reverse psychology, you would tell child that they could have it. It wouldn't be fun anymore, you've taken away their desire to have it and as a result, they wouldn't want it. Moreover, you have accelerated need to know why. Why are you giving it to them?
This does not only apply to children, this also applies to adults and they will react in same way. If you were to apply same scenario to an adult, they would react in same manner as child did.
