@JJANG19 Divert is like to change the course or draw the attention of something or someone. "They divert water from the river for irrigation" "He diverts the attention of the public from the corruption" Distract is a synonym of divert when that means prevent someone to pay attention to something. "Magic is all about distract the audience"
