Is it possible to put a monocular in front of a Astronomy eyepiece to boost the binoculars’ magnification?

Simsim asked:
I have a 7x50 Orion Scenix Astronomy eyepiece pair of binoculars. I'm not happy with the 7x magnification.
I thought that if I can get a tiny monocular, say 3X20, then I can put it in front of one of the binoculars' eyepieces. Hopefully getting a 7*3=21x magnification.
Is this possible?
Any recommendation on the monocular(aperture, magnification, brand etc)
Thanks in advance.

Wonderful rich thought provoking analogies and a re quote of a favourite quote from Geoffery Bateson t if you juxtapose two forms of description, such as art and science or art and business, that ‘double description’ affords you an unexpected bonus of insight akin to the perception of ‘depth’ in binocular vision – a surprise effect not predictable from working with either of the ‘descriptions’ alone. We all know that when we focus on something with just one eye, we merely a monocular view. We are unable to perceive depth. Depth ‘appears’ when use both our eyes at once….” (quoting John Comino in Orchestrating Collaboration at Work). Do think that symphony orchestras provide as vibrant experience as Jazz though, the work of Miha Pogacnik http://www.mihavision.com; in which business people are placed in the midst of an orchestra opens ears and minds to a different dimension of experience.
