Why are call backs so powerful in a show? Is it familiarity? Repetition?

From my book:
Quote:
The underlying purpose of callbacks is to foster a sense of familiarity with the subject matter, as well as with the entertainer, thus helping to create rapport. When the second reference is made, it induces a feeling not unlike that of being told an in-joke.

I have your book and read portions. Amazing product and really in-depth thought. It really made me start looking deeper into what I was doing. Thank you for your wisdom.
