Telekinetic Coffee Shop Surprise

What if telekinesis was real? How would you react? Our hidden camera experiment captures the reactions of unsuspecting customers at a New York City coffee shop as they witness a telekinetic event. In reality, the elaborate setup was designed by Thinkmodo to advertise the upcoming movie Carrie, based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King. The café’s interior is an elaborate setup with pulleys and other elements of Hollywood magic designed to create astonishing live-action effects. The rest of the “customers” at the café are also actors in on the gag, and the customer at the counter seems to be the only one not in on the stunt.
