Who saw "Now you see me."

It was a recent movie, probably still in the theaters. It was about con-men/magicians. There was a term they used to describe a deflective move that kept everyone from focusing on the real crime. Does anyone remember what that term was?

But that's a drag queen thing, not a magic thing.

Although its all magic to me.
