One of the most common methods of creating a twist is to leave out (ok hide) some important fact about a character or situation. Then when you spring it at the reader it can cast completely new light on what's really going on,

(Turns out he's an alien? He/she is actually an agent for enormous secret society, led by immortal DeVinci, and the whole story is just a subplot and you can develop all you want until you get bored?) OK so these are banal, think of some new ones
