If my analysis of the magician's logic is correct, its two great principles turn out to be merely two different misapplications of the association of ideas.
The Magical Atmosphere
They were deeply captivated, surrounding him squashed in like sardines trying to get a good view of the improvised stage. There was a special thing floating in the air, it was as if that night at that very place nothing were impossible.

The Best Platform For A Virtual Event
When I studied the data I found that audiences and groups were more responsive, engaged and passionate when they are in the moment of an event and taking part in it. I decided that the best way for people to enjoy my online virtual magic shows is to require them to be in the room with me live while the event is happening.
