The West Village ‘Snice' café was rigged so that books, tables, chairs and even a person, moved with the push of a remote controller. The premise of the prank was simple: a girl becomes disgruntled when a fellow customer spills coffee on her. In a fit of rage, she catapults the customer against the wall – using only her mind. Of course, these were both professional actors and stuntmen. Hidden cameras documented the horrified, stunned and bewildered reactions of the unassuming clientele – most of whom eventually bolt out of the store. The film, starring Chloe Moretz in the title role, is released on October 18th. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Telekinetic Marketing:** A trend of utilizing psychic powers in marketing campaigns can create memorable and unique experiences that can attract more customers. - **Prankvertising:** The rising trend of prank videos for advertising can create a buzz and increase brand awareness among the audience. - **Immersive Promotions:** A trend of creating immersive experiences for promotional campaigns can engage the audience and enhance brand loyalty. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Film Industry:** The film industry can utilize telekinetic and prank advertising to create immersive promotional campaigns that can attract more viewers. - **Marketing Industry:** The marketing industry can use the ideas of telekinetic and immersive advertising to create unique and effective promotions that can increase brand awareness and customer engagement. - **Hospitality Industry:** The hospitality industry can adopt unique and engaging promotional campaigns using telekinetic or prank advertising that can attract more customers and enhance the overall customer experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Horror-Themed Phone Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/join-the-flip-side.md) - [Horror-Inspired Sports Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scary-good-campaign.md) - [Magic Trick Popcorn Buckets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinemark-popcorn-bucket.md) - [Sensorial Horror-Inspired Hard Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prank-pack.md) - [Spooky Street Ad Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fanta-halloween-projection.md) - [Creative Eerie-Themed Soccer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scary-good.md) - [Villainous Pizza Crust Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-massacre-by-kfc.md) - [Teen Film Dining Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankie-bennys1.md) - [Rebranded Horror-Inspired Cocktail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-kit.md)
