Telekinetic Movie Promo Pranks

This Woman Used Her ‘Telekinetic Powers’ in a Coffee Sh

— November 27, 2013 — TH Video
Trend Hunter's Anne Booth talked about a woman in New York City who used her ‘telekinetic powers’ to throw books, tables, chairs and even a person around a little coffee shop. The dramatic supernatural scene she made was carefully directed and included a team of actors as well as special props that made the prank very convincing.

The video was recorded as a promotional film video for the cult classic horror film remake, ‘Carrie.’ Hidden cameras captured the horrified customers’ reactions to the woman’s ‘telekinetic powers’ and they were as amusing as the prank itself.

Anne’s experience at Trend Hunter has given her more confidence to share her ideas and opinions. She noticed the people at Trend Hunter really value new ideas and she loves the friendships she has made from her time there. For her, the experience is more than just work; it’s also like a second family.
