@DStheo What you have is what was demonstrated in the show I linked where the woman was told she was part of a gameshow where people would secretly interreact with her from the show, and she was to document her experiences

There were no secret interactions, but because she was on the lookout for something unusual, she interpreted normal interactions as part of the show.

That's where your "orange ball" magic comes from. It's a psychological trick. It's not magic.

There is no real magic.
