I have watched this as well it is beautiful.

I think it should be renamed, how to do a 10 second trick in ten minutes ! !

More boring than watching John Higgins playing snooker

The presentation is very similar to how Copperfield and several others frame the Snow Storm effect and doing this sort of "stool time" (as we call it) requires a very deliberate and well coached script in order to gain the strongest psychological impression in the minds of the audience. That is why in routines like the Muse Box, I and many others, get people sobbing as the result of the story, not the effect (though the effect "punctuates" the tale).

The Snow Storm has always been one of my personal favorites and from what I can discern from most working chums, it is the type of effect that inspires as well as enchants -- a very powerful bit of business when presented by a performer who is not afraid of framing it right and taking their time in getting there.
