	Misdirection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Misdirection is a form of deception, where one feints in a particular course, and then exploits the misled pursuer's mistake to escape, or remain undetected.
		An example of misdirection in magic might be as simple as a magician rolling up his sleeves and saying "nothing up my sleeve" and then "magically" producing an object that in no conceivable way could have been "up his sleeve".
		In such a way, a group of Jeeps with plywood coverings painted to resemble tanks may misdirect an enemy general into ignoring a fleet of trucks (which are actually tank transports disguised as grocery trucks etc) and paying close scrutiny to the movement and activity of the fake tanks.

		When Misdirection resolves, it makes itself the new target for the Counterspell (this is legal, because the Misdirection is still on the stack until it finishes resolving).

		In basic terms, misdirection is making sure your audience stays in touch with the magic and doesn't drift off into thinking how you did this or how you did that.
		It could be using a pencil as a misdirecting pointer, flicking a coin into the air, or anything else to take the heat off the secret move or action.
		Used in the right conditions, and allowing enough 'time misdirection' to pass between the spectator cutting the cards and looking at what card they cut to, it is without doubt one of the cleanest and most deceptive card forces you can do.
