=== Misdirection ===
{{Main|Misdirection (magic)}}
Misdirection, though not entirely specific to card magic, is indeed very prominent in most card performances. In many cases, the ‘skill’ of a card illusionist is determined by how well they can switch the audiences attention from one part of the performance to the next, which becomes more difficult when dealing with [[Heckler|hecklers]]. Magicians can use card techniques like [[Cardistry|flourishing]], [[Misdirection (magic)|verbal misdirection]] and by cracking jokes, in order to mislead the audience, making concealment of important sleight of hand easier in the process.
