Magicians, illusionists, and street hustlers use hocus focus all the time. So do advertisers, marketeers, and the media. ALL THE TIME. You are asked to concentrate or focus on some item, and very often while they also are imparting a sense of urgency, panic or fear on you, some other event or motion is going on. Sleight of hand, the shell game, the news. The objective is to get you to see, hear, or feel right in the moment that thing they want you to see, hear or feel and believe it, and not allow deeper thinking to come into play.
Well you can train yourself to notice more in your environment. Bruce Lee trained with head phones blaring so that he could notice the most subtle noises of a combatant or opponent attempting to sneak up upon him. I have recently trained an aspiring Real Estate agent and a Nursing student prior to their critical exams. The nursing student passed with flying colors and the realtor is on deck.
I coach for success – no failure zone.
