I must admit that I did see the guy dressed like a bear...
I thought..."why the hell is that guy dress like that? and dancing around...whatever oh hell no!! I miss some passes.."
and it`s because I am a very visual person...
some people are like that, the human eyes has a 180º visual range, and some people can either be looking at your eyes, and detect movement in your hands, it`s hard to find somebody like that..but it happens from time to time
you can`t hope to misdirect everybody in an audience let`s say you misdirect 9 out of 10 people each 5 performances, so it`s 1 people out of 50..don`t feel bad about that...it`s not because your misdirection is bad....it`s just that 1 person is very visual...that has happened to me before...
