A hand moving in a semicircle, however, seems to short-circuit our saccades. The arc doesn&#039;t tell our eyes where the hand is going, so we fixate on the hand itself—and fail to notice the other hand reaching into our pocket. &quot;The pickpocket has found a weakness in the way we perceive motion,&quot; Macknik says. &quot;Show the eyes an arc and they move differently.&quot;&#039; - This can be used in editing. Curved movement is harder for the eye to predict, so therefore it can be used to cover up, for example, continuity errors.
