The thousand trick is based on the audio stimulus that you're giving the person -- the repetition of hearing "thousand" 4 times sets the person up to want to fall into rhythm with you by saying "thousand" alternatively between random numbers... the fifth "thousand" is in a sense a release for them to be able to match you.
40 and 10 is used in this trick because these numbers are easy to add and thus the rhythm is not broken...
"ten" and "forty" are short abrupt and harsh words -- where "thousand" is a softer more sensual word that can be enunciated in a pleasing way in order to get the trick to work better.
