Indeed I did enjoy these vids - a lot of my work is with live reactive/interactive visuals. Here's an (old) example: https://vimeo.com/223696125

Usually the performer is facing an audience with the main screen behind. I've found the biggest challenge is to arrange a second screen so that the performance is truly interactive rather than just reactive to their movements. When this isn't possible during performance to a live audience or straight to camera, time needs to be allowed for rehearsal of the movements.

I use infra-red lighting and cameras for the video feed to Magic, so that the movement-detection camera doesn't "see" the projection. Are you doing the same?

Very nice demo of what you can do live with MMV. I haven't had much experience using MMV(since I haven't played live at all). However, it seems you were able to mix this incredibly well. I look forward to seeing more.
