Facing Misdirection
let me say
something crazy magic is not real
this is magic which is not real but i’m
pretty sure a few of you
are currently amazed before i distinctly
explain my content i would like to
perform
a small magic trick today i brought a
one deck of car well i actually wanted
to bring
a red deck of car but since i brought a
blue deck of car
i feel like i just have to perform with
this however
i have a powerful weapon which is
misdirection
so do you mind guys looking over there
and
the problem seems to be sold asking an
audience to pick a card is very cliche
things for magicians to ask but since
there is no audience in this stage i’ll
pick the card instead
the card that we chose is 10 of club
now i’ll continue this speech as the
speech goes by
what i just showed you the color
changing magic is the art of
misdirection
it’s what make magic so beautiful
today i’m going to go in this and
explain about what misdirection is
but before that let’s go back to the
past and see where my magic era has
begun
i started magic when i was in elementary
school i have seen
a remarkable performance from
my friend i agree that this isn’t an
enormous motivation however ever since
that performance i dedicated most of my
time to magic
i was genuinely in love with it the
tricks and the theories
has constantly attracted me to be in
love with it as you can see i have
cancer for magic knowing the tricks
behind the magic knowing the theories
behind the magic
it was fascinating for me even at a
young age
now if i had a malicious intention of
learning magic
i might have enjoyed people getting
fooled and possibly i
might have pickpocketed their belongings
which i did
for entertainment i didn’t learn my
magic in order to cause any harm since i
wanted to entertain people i’d rather
study in this and tried to discover the
theories behind the magic
due to magic i started to observe the
world differently i started to relate
everything with the theory of magic
through eight years studying magic i
discovered that magician utilizes lots
of theories norton has their tricks
such as adaptability acting storytelling
misdirection
and everything
due to magic i truly amirated myself
i see everyday aspect of life to the
lens of these concept
therefore today i’m going to talk about
what misdirection is and how it relates
to our life
but first of all what is misdirection
when we think of misdirection we’re
thinking of directing someone to the
wrong place or the wrong direction
and people commonly think that oh look
over there and do some sneaky action
well it could be actually interpreted as
people deceiving themselves by focusing
their attention to the
different place while also the staining
that is
much more significant
magician distracts audience site using
misdirection
even though the magician doesn’t
intentionally behave or act
to distract audience they distract
themselves with whatever cast their eyes
however not even in magic we could
discover analogous situations in our
life
for instance if our passion for money i
would evaluate most of the situation
only through a financial lens
such as when i observe someone i’ll
first evaluate them how much money they
earn
or how useful they could be on rendering
the money
even when i’m encountering an ethical
choice
when i’m encountering ethical choice
between doing what’s right and doing
what gains me more money
i might have chose what gains me more
money
now this easily represents what
misdirection is
i addressed an example through money
however the distraction could be
anything it could be your interest it
could be your idealistic value it could
be your hobby
it could be literally anything
this interest and things causes us the
distraction
as we blindly follow these things
now as entering to 2020 we have
encountered an
abysmal situation covent 19.
due to covenant 19 people were
emotionally suffering they were
highly devastated that we could actually
discover a misdirection during this
pandemic
now i actually brought a student a and b
now student a and b were like an
identical twins student a and b
received a average grade and they were
embracing every situation positively
and they had like same talent or same
hobby
but as the combat occurs student a opt
to focus on their sentiment
such as being depressed or considering
the situation as audismal
however the person b used this pandemic
as an
opportunity to develop oneself
developmentally physically
or in various ways
now as a pandemic end student a and b
they were a total different person now
student a
received a same grade that they used to
get before pandemic
and had a quite similar talent before
pandemic however
the person b was totally different
person
person b embraced the situation more
positively and
was more talented now what is the
difference between these two
it’s about not getting distracted
student a was distracted by these
sentiments such as being depressed
and embracing or considering the
situation as abysmal
however the person b used this pandemic
as an opportunity to develop oneself
this easily represents during this
misdirection during this pandemic
besides this there are many other
situations where misdirection takes
control
such as creating a life goal you don’t
really want what you really want to be
is following a path of an actor
but you’re following a path of a doctor
because of
what your parents expected from you
because you want to earn a lot of money
because you want to gain more prestige
it could be any reason these
expectations and social
standards causes us the distraction
which
blindly deceives you into giving up your
true happiness
as you blindly follow those other
people’s desires and prestige
like the example has shown misdirection
is
literally everywhere ultimately when
you’re seeing only one site it is hard
to comprehend the whole story
i want to ask what are you fixated on
we’re very interested in something in
our surface level what we think has
value often distracts us from viewing at
the entire truth
as we finally follow other people’s
desire
however if we change our essence on
viewing things
it will let us comprehend the whole
truth
then what do i mean by changing our
essence on viewing things
as i’ve said in magic misdirection makes
magician deceive audience and distracts
audience
and it happens so much in real life too
in consequence we lose and miss
lots of more significant sight resulting
in us not being able to grasp what is
actually important it limits us to
only what we want to or deceived to see
the meaning of changing our essence in
viewing is widening our thoughts in
perspective
and when i’m encountering the situation
i know that this is not going to change
suddenly
and even though you try it’s not going
to change something however if you
constantly
constantly try to widen your thoughts in
perspective it will one day be
beneficial for your futures and the
situation that you encounter
adapting to this viewpoint will be a
significant change in your life
i would like to end my speech by telling
you what to focus on this magic
now first of all i just want to really
say thank you for
watching my performance and my speech
but you haven’t focused on this
cards now while i was producing the
cards nobody was focusing on what’s
written back of the card
which is the exactly matching with the
card that we chose
in addition to this i’ve actually wore
the ring silver ring for
like a two weeks to make the audience be
adapted with what i’m wearing or what
i’m actually
using in my hand so when i make it
vanish they don’t actually notice where
they go
sometimes when we go through life even
simple thing
when we think we’re not distracted by
our obsession and fixation it is
easy to get deceived we don’t know when
that’s going to occur and how it’s going
to occur
like the car matrix even simple things
can catch you at
any moment if your vision is narrower
and just
fixated about these things you’re
blinded by it it is hard to comprehend
the whole story
so as soon as you leave this place
consider what you’re fixated on and what
consumes your attention
or and consider that um think about it
if that’s
actually truly valuable or if it’s just
a distraction that causes you into
giving up your true happiness
and if it is then take a step and open
your eyes and see your true essence on
feeling the truth
so that you don’t miss out what actually
important
thank you
