I have mixed emotions about the fake second interview. It works well because it does make it easier to have them come to you, and is a clever way of surprising them.
However, you can't repeat it more than once or twice, because people will start to catch on that a 'second interview' means a bid. So in a year or two, you'd need to come up with a new game plan.
The PSP chapter on my campus called the lucky people to meet at the main auditorium/historical building on campus, and they got their bids there. It was slightly less surprising, but from my friends' reactions, they were so thrilled it didn't matter.
I hope this helps!
