I wanted to know what are your thoughts and experiences of performing in front of crowds or skeptics. What are the factors at play that influence the effect that takes place? For me it's almost like the observer also indirectly participates in the effect.

From my experience, the effects at play are the same anxiety issues that exist in any kind of athletic or artistic performance. Drilled repetition to establish instinctual body memory will supersede performance anxiety.
In terms of crowd dynamics, the effects have to do with the strength of their reality field vs the performer's. The higher the charisma of the performer; the lower the resistance of the crowd. The crowd has a psychokinetic effect on the psi performance, whether they are aware of it or not. If the psi performer understands this, & also understands charismatic fascination; he/she can harness the psychic energy of the crowd for more powerful effects congruent with his/her will:)

So basically the performer has to overpower the effect of the audience? I've had success with people who just casually observe without expecting anything and these instances have been the most successful as it feels like they also contributed to the effect. But of course If I try it in front of an aggressive skeptic it doesn't end well. It seems like having a skeptical friend to always practice in front of can be helpful.
So is charismatic fascination the reason for making a big show in order to garner the focus and attention of the crowd to help them apply themselves to the effect as well?

It just requires skill in concentration. The more clearly & brightly you can hold your attention; the stronger & more magnetic your reality field will be. If your concentration is the strongest; others will be attracted to it, both consciously & unconsciously. Once charmed by you; the psychic energy of others, will be your psychic energy...for as long as the fascination persists:)
