Ted Talks. "The Art of Misdirection." YouTube. YouTube, LLC. 13 September 2013. Web. 5 November 2014.
In this Video Apollo Robins shows us the art of misdirection. He uses a very odd way to show this. He is a pickpocket and uses this to show us how we often have our mind set to one thing and that's all we pay attention to. We end up losing sight of everything else. The volunteer went up and just by focusing on a chip he lost sight of Robbins taking his watch and money and other things. Since our mind is focused on one specific thing, everything else seems to just whirl by. It's amazing how misdirection can lead us to forget or to lose sight of other things. I found it as a symbol of life and how we may find ourself focusing on one thing and lose track of everything else. I also saw it as our lost opportunities. What if in life we've been focusing all our time in the wrong things? What if there's more to it than just that one thing? We need to pay attention to all the other things around us. They may add more to our life. What is your purpose in life? What is motivating you? Take a look around you. I bet you could find much more than the answers you gave.
