Abstract(in English) Misdirection, as a technique of manipulating observers' attention used by magician, is now noticed to make clear spatial and temporal characteristics of perception and cognition in our daily life. Although recent research has shown that social misdirection, which is induced by using joint attention, can affect subjects' perception, the difference between tricked (failed to detect the magic tricks) and untricked (detected the magic tricks) groups is unclear. Here, to reveal how the social misdirection affects the tricked and untricked groups, we presented movie clips of 'cups and balls,' that is one of classic magic tricks, to participants and measured where they looked at using an eye tracker. Then, we found that more than half of all subjects could not detect the trick looked to magician's face more than untricked group who detected the magic tricks. The results may indicate that tricked people has difficulty in trying not to allocate attention to the face. We conclude that the cause of being tricked is due to social misdirection captured our attention.
