To all the oh-so-smart downvoters:

The translation is wrong because it makes things unnecessarily complicated. The term Vorführeffekt is used when something suddenly behaves differently in a not desired way when shown to others. The argument about double negation is logically right, yet entirely theoretical, as no sane person would ever describe or translate the effect in such a doubly-negated way to someone else.
