An illusionist uses misdirection and sleight
of hand to manipulate their audience to see one thing when in fact they are
seeing nothing of the sort. Magicians perform their misdirection and sleight
of hand to baffle and amuse their audience. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have
defined psychological operations (PSYOPS) as those that: " include
psychological warfare and, in addition, encompass those political, military,
economic and ideological actions planned and conducted to create in neutral
or friendly foreign groups the emotions, attitudes, or behavior to support
achievement of national objectives. " Another proposal " develops
the concept of 'strategic psychological operations' as aimed at influencing
and shaping decision-makers' power to govern or control their followers.
" PSYOPS are sleight of mind. PSYOPS are not designed to baffle and amuse.
PSYOPS are designed to create tension among different groups; enhance dislike
and discord; and erode friendship and harmony. Misdirection and deception
are PSYOP strategies for achieving these objectives.
