Pretty cool! Do you notice the little things? When your eye is being directed to one thing are you aware of whats going on around you?
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.
I saw a video about this once where there was a bear dancing behind people, but if you were paying attention to the people you never notice the bear!
ReplyDeleteI love TED talks, and this one was a great demonstration about the topic, its truly amazing how much information we miss out on just by focusing on something else. A couple of tricks that the speaker did were really amazing, especially the one with his wardrobe; going back and rewatching the video, you can sorta tell when he changed out the wardrobe, but even knowing when he might've done so, still doesn't change the question of how he did it without anyone noticing and that was awesome.
