Whenever I sit through a presentation or lecture, especially a powerful or influential one, at certain points, I see lots of people readjust there position in their seat all at the same time. Subconsciously, everyone observes a point in the speech when the tension is reduced, and they feel allowed to make minor bodily movements.
To observe this phenomena, you have to watch the people, not the speaker. Oftentimes I find the behavior of the audience more entertaining than the presentation itself.
If an audience does this, you know the speech is amazing because the people are so enthralled that they can't appropriate enough mental power to think of their physical position. I can only imagine the number of amazing presentations I've missed observing this trend.
