Years ago I believed that technique was everything, and that misdirection was merely insurance against "flashing" or inadequate technique. I now believe just the opposite. Distracting the eye and the critical judgment of the spectator is most important. Technique, which should be developed to the best of the performer's ability, provides the insurance that is essential, should the misdirection not take its full effect.
