Redistributed attention is when the subject's attention is focused solely on the hypnotist's voice or a particular task, ignoring other stimuli in the environment. Trilby's ability to ignore everything except Svengali's voice is an example of redistributed attention. Posthypnotic amnesia and increased role-taking tendencies are not relevant in this scenario, and a mantra is a repeated word or phrase used for meditation, which does not apply here.
