Sometimes there are situations when a fast mind, not a fast
blade is the only remedy. There are many tricks that the masters
are able to employ. One such trick is the art of throwing one's
voice. By carefully using several distracting methods that draw
attention away from themselves they can talk, and give the false
impression that the sound is coming from somewhere besides their
own mouth. Of course this may not get you out of all situations.
Many who have learned this skill only do it as a pastime.
