POOF....You're NOT fooling me

I am fascinated by magicians; they have an amazing ability to trick your mind into seeing one thing while they do another. This is called... cognitive illusion. These illusions work because they separate perception from reality. Magicians have learned how to manipulate the mind through, what is called, diversion. They divert your attention, so that all your energy is focused away from what they are doing. Basically, you are perceiving one thing, while in reality, they are doing another. For instance, they point out the beautiful woman, while they are preparing their deception right before your eyes. Abracadabra!!!











Diversion...it means to divert something, to deviate..to draw attention elsewhere. Diversion is what makes magic work.  LOOK over there so that you can't see what I'm doing...It's a manipulation of your mind, used to, ultimately, deceive or trick you!


 Throughout my life, I have learned to listen intently to people; to what they say, and don't say. Sometimes people say so much more about themselves than they even realize. I have always said that people tell on themselves if you will only listen, and diversion is an example of that. I have discovered that when someone displays my faults, or the faults of others they are simply "diverting" attention.  Magicians have mastered this art and they use it to entertain people.  Thieves use it to pick your pocket. But your average Joes...well your average Joes use the same technique to remove the spotlight from themselves! (Presto, Chango....)

Diversion is also used as damage control....Make them look bad before the truth about me can come out. Abracadabra!!!








Separation of perception and reality! 

Master manipulation! 

The truth is that we have all pulled this trick from our hats at one point or another, kind of like Grandpa,  who used to walk around pulling quarters from behind your ears...BUT others are like David Copperfield.... "Illusionist Extraordinair!"  

Always remember that the ones who put others' faults on display are probably diverting your attention from their own wrongdoings.  See beyond the deceptions find see the truth...it's right before your eyes 

YOU'RE NOT FOOLIN' ME
