Stealthy Misdirection 101

Learn the art of misdirecting your attention away from the truth.

Principle 1: Distract yourself with a good lie.

When faced with an uncomfortable truth, divert your attention to a shiny object.

Like a magicians' trick, make the lie appear more convincing than reality.

Example: If you're caught red-handed, claim you were just "reorganizing your sock drawer."

Principle 2: Confuse your enemies with complexity.

Create a maze of deceit, and lose them in the process.

Make them question their own perception, and they'll never find the truth.

Example: When asked for directions, give them a 20-page instruction manual.

Principle 3: Use the art of misdirection to hide in plain sight.

Make your deception so obvious, it becomes believable.

Example: If you're a thief, just leave your wallet on the kitchen table.
