Definition.

Mcguffin: Something in the movie that drives the plot forward, motivates the characters and focuses the attention of the audience, but has no actual impact on the overall plot.

This technique is used in "Psycho". The storyline surrounding Marion Crane and the money has no real impact on the overall plot of the movie, but is used to distract the audience from the main event so it is more of a shock then it happens.
