The law of attraction
From the opinion of the author we learn that there is a cause and effect of what the person thinks and what he expects, and the events that he has to face every day in real life. Under the "secret" in the film, the "law of attraction" is implied, the essence of which, in the authors' opinion, is the direct connections between the person's thinking and the surrounding reality, according to the principle of "like attracts like".
What happens in a person's life, whether positive or negative, is the result of his positive or negative thinking. The universe as it seeks to justify the expectations of any person.

In Russia,
V. Demchog wrote his script for the performance based on the documentary film "The Secret", which was distinguished by the processing of pseudo-documentation into an artistic image and supplemented by his own transpersonal experience.

Criticism of
Presented by the authors in the film " Law of Attraction " can not be considered scientifically proven. Although there are no contradictory facts that the expectations of an individual or a group can influence the surrounding reality according to expectations, in connection with certain actions taken or a test of certain emotions.
Science proved the effects of placebo, nocebo, Rosenthal effect. From economic practice, you can give examples when the expectations of the inflation of society have an impact on it( as a person starts to buy goods sharply, spends money) or expectations of economic growth on the economy( expecting growth, individual entrepreneurs and businesses become active and form the growth of the economy).In all these cases, the effect of the effects is not absolute. There are other parameters, on which the result depends more than on expectation.
The law of attraction does not meet the criterion of refutability and therefore is not scientific. In the film there are no descriptions of specific mechanisms by which the universe analyzes people's thoughts. The effect of the fact of observation on the result is characteristic of small subatomic particles( after all, we can study them only through the same particles), but the role of observing macro objects( "when we lose weight or get bills for payment") can not be proved and verifiable.
Protection of
Experiments with electron diffraction conducted by Klaus Jenson in 1961 confirm that the presence of an observer affects the results of the experiment. But the experiment was not conducted on mice to find out whether they are observers.
