Make the motion realistic with some cause and effect
The flames on the ground point perfectly up, even though a giant tornado just sent rocks flying. A slight twisting motion in the remaining elements will make it fit much better with the world it is supposed to interact with

Avoid single driving cards or meshes by adding secondary elements

A magician never reveals their secret! In the cast windup, you will see a single fiery ring driving all the motion. Adding lingering flames or sparks will add believability and help hide your trick👇
