The first video shows a professional magician doing a trick. Then his partner asks you to question every move made during the trick. He then goes on to explain them all as comprising the seven basic moves of magic, including misdirection. I think the most important line was, "Weren't there a few things you took for granted when watching that?"

The second video is newer with much better video quality. It's got a faster pace, but shows more and better misdirection--literally the smoke from "smoke and mirrors."

The third lays out how misdirection is more psychological and not simply, "Hey, look over there!" See if you can guess when it happened.

The total running time of all three videos is about ten minutes.
