Misdirection
Misdirection is a form of deception in which the attention of an audience is focused on one thing in order to distract its attention from another. Managing the audience's attention is the aim of all Theater, it is the foremost requirement of Theatrical Magic. Whether the Magic is of a "pocket trick" variety, or, a large stage production in Las Vegas, misdirection is the central secret of all Magic. Speaking of Misdirection, Nevil Maskelyne wrote, "It consists admittedly in misleading the spectator's senses, in order to screen from detection certain details for which secrecy is required." "Nearly the whole art of sleight of hand depends on this art of misdirection." "The central secret of conjuring...is a manipulation of interest.". The term is used to describe either the effect or the sleight of hand or patter that creates it. There are two basic ways to "misdirect" your audience; one is time-sensitive, the other isn't. The time-sensitive approach encourages the audience to look away for a fleeting moment, so that the sleight or move may be accomplished undetected.
