3. Can someone explain to me what a wichita pick off is?

I know it's a trick play, but what is it exactly?

4. The pitcher never threw the ball, but everyone reacted like he did and the 2nd baseman flubbed it,

.
.
.
You see them all pretending to run towards right field... and the runner assumes it is headed out there somewhere.
.
.
.
He focusses on third base and the pitcher runs toward him to tag him out.
.
The runner realizes this and tries to get back, but the 2nd baseman is ready for him.
.
You hear the announcer refer to it as the Wichita pick-off.
