I just love Penn. He's so humble he didn't mention his own magic as an example of a major change in the art. He and Teller popularized showing the audience how the trick is done.

@SeriouslyPissedOff things like misdirection has real world application. for your own entertainment though. not sure about military application.
I work as a cashier in a grocery store and people take out money when they are buying their groceries. ill misdirect their attention to the receipt and some forget all about the 60 bucks they took out. if i were a crook i could earn hundreds of dollars extra a day just knowing about misdirection and how to use it.

I've gotta disagree, you never know when the next "Street Magic" will pop up. In 20 years, magic could be an entirely different animal in a way that nobody expects.
I would argue that Derren Brown is a significant form of evolution of the TV magician, as he has shifted the misdirection totally from the performer and completely onto the participant.
