Static locked medium shot. The subject from the reference photo stands confidently at a wooden table, holding a small clear crystal orb between the fingers of one hand. 0-2s he looks straight at the camera, gives a small mysterious smile and mouths 'watch closely' as he lifts the orb into frame. 2-6s he rolls the crystal orb slowly across the back of his hand — knuckle to knuckle, then flips it up and catches it in his palm, maintaining eye contact with the camera; faint golden refractions shimmer inside the orb. 6-8s he closes his fist over the orb, makes a small conjuring gesture with his other hand — a soft puff of glittering particles bursts around his knuckles — and when he slowly opens his hand, the orb is gone. 8-10s he shrugs at the camera with a delighted 'ta-da' expression, tilts his head and gives a slow wink to sign off. Warm tungsten table lamp key light + soft ambient shadow, cinematic close-up magic-show vibe. Gentle acoustic-guitar-and-strings background music + subtle magical shimmer sfx on the reveal, no dialogue vocals. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
