I strongly disagree. If the audience doesn't care about the method, you have entertained them. To me, that is like saying if you see an Avengers move and don't care about how the special effects are done, the movie has failed you. I go for "I can't believe he did that" rather than "I wonder...

I doubt you could get any lesser known than the Melberth principle because I’ve never heard of that one. The way to accumulate knowledge regarding self working effects is to study the effects themselves. Start with Scarne and Fulves, then move on to Bannon”s Destination Zero, Nick Troast's work...
