I'm making a friend do it for me instead.
Actually, I'm hoping to crystallize these and a few more theories first before I go back and re-read. And I probably need to do it fast since EP7 is coming up.

However it is also not a lie if you believe magical acts are magic. So while "without love, it cannot be seen," whether you see it or not, it's still the truth.
Come to think of it, am I the only one who feels that describes Erika's last moments?

As in the adage, some would prefer to die rather than admit their mistakes? Except in this case Erika would never admit to ... magic or something...
I'm thinking that magic requires something more though, an observer of that magic. And it's the operating on that observer by others which induces the magic. So for Beatrice, it's not that Maria has love and can 'see' the magic; it's that others have love for Maria and so they 'see' the magic. i.e. Keep their mouths shut.
Like at the Candy table, if George or Maria did the sleight of hand trick... then Jessica kept her mouth shut too.
Not that it's always the same person who keeps their mouth shut. I bet if you spread around the trickery then there's always some doubt created even if you did see one trick once.
