Did I get a stomachache after an "energy damage" circle?

I asked a bunch of my friends to surround me and project damaging energy onto me, with the concrete goal of giving me a stomach ache. They did this for approximately 1 minute, complete with yelling and aggressive noises. Would you guess I did or did not develop a stomachache in the 3 hours after this experience? (my base rate of stomachaches is around 1 every 5 days)

Hope you feel better soon!
Whether or not the magickal spell works as imagined is beside the point. "1 every 5 days" seems like a very high base rate, so just thinking about "do I have a stomach ache" for an hour could probably cause one.
Were there snacks afterwards? Were there more leftovers of the snacks than expected, as though your friends were somehow suspicious of them?
20% base rate + placebo + amplified germ vector + makes this a good bet.
predictedYES
What would be interesting if you decided to make this market before or after you knew the result.
Magic isn’t real but the placebo effect is, so who knows?
