Fascinating. The Daemon seems to imply a "force of will" or intelligent focus of intention. Though the context was set via graphics to imply the demon is the same size as the particle, perhaps the relative movements of individual particles can be observed throughout the entirety, and thus be affected in that manner.
It is speculated that conscious awareness (attention) actually has a measurable force of energy that may not be limited to physical laws.
The Heisenberg Experiment draws an interesting parallel. Most know the scientific experiment showed that energy moved as both particle and wave, but what Heisen and Berg were baffled by was the evidence that the focus of attention itself appeared to affect the outcome of the experiment.
Maxwell's Demon may exist.

Ah, the entire framework is completely in classical physics, so we haven't taken account of the quantum effects( like Heisenberg's uncertainityy principle) that will affect the system. The size of the demon is not of particular interest but if the size of demon is comparable to the size of a molecule, then the demon will vibrate like the molecules making the measurement nearly impossible :)
