How do narcissists and people of the dark triad get so good at manipulation and trickery?

Question

I mean I was wondering how they manage to get so good at forming ideas on how to manipulate someone or trick someone into doing what they want.

I don’t get how they managed to learn this. I mean I personally cannot figure out how to manipulate or trick someone buy myself, somebody has to teach me.

Two really good and interesting books about this subject is Surrounded by Psychopaths, Thomas Erikson

Not quite on the same topic but in the same field is the book Surrounded by Idiots by the same author
