This is still in the works and will become somewhat in-depth article over time.
Please feel free to comment and ask questions as this might help me to better
explain the techniques to others.
This is the art of remaining Visibly Invisible.
This art consists of a given set of talents:
1:
The ability to feel "At Home" anywhere.
2:
The sense of "Belonging" anywhere you are.
3:
The "Care Less" attitude about being seen.
Now allow me to list a few examples of Visible Invisibility:
1:
Does it look suspicious when your neighbor enters his home?
No. This is his ability to feel "At Home".
2:
Does the Mailman look suspicious walking up to a house?
No. This is his confidence of "Belonging" there.
3:
Does a cop care if anyone sees him stop you?
No. He could "Care Less" about being seen.
He (in fact) wants to be seen stopping you and will usually turn on
a bunch of bright and flashing lights in order to prove this fact.
.
"What is to be learned from the above examples?", you might ask.
My humble answer is "The basics of Visible Invisibility".
You should seek to achieve the attitude that you own the place,
along with the confidence of having every right to be there.
I am not suggesting that you ever stray from the STEALTH of the OP,
This is only an extra art to master for when STEALTH is impossible.
You should be able to display these talents at any given time
and in any given situation.
The reasoning behind Visible Invisibility is create the sense of a normal
looking dark spot or blur, rather than a suspicious one to those unseen.
It is better to be the blur that the cop drives on past rather than the
blur that he stops to investigate.
It is best to appear as a natural occurring shadow to onlooking neighbors
rather than be the suspicious shadow causing them to call the cops.
To put this as simple as possible...
Stay in the shadows, remain a blur, become a dark spot... but blend into
normal routines when you suspect you will be seen.
