Mentalist tricks. You were all exposed to the picture in some form before walking into the room. Some people are less susceptible than others.

How the trick works is all about exploiting what people affiliate with something. So the picture is an elephant? Remind people that mice exists ("oh im a little late, we had an exterminator get rid of a bunch of mice today") Feed the occupants peanuts and have big fucking ears yourself. At some point people are gonna think elephant, a percentage of those people will draw an elephant.

You get the point.

Is there any evidence you can show me that those tricks work at all?
