The video likely worked due to the relatable and humorous premise of a telepathy game, combined with the surprise and genuine reactions of the participants when the guess was correct. The use of a well-known celebrity name added to the intrigue.
Summary
Two people are playing a game where one person tries to telepathically communicate the name of a famous person to another person who cannot hear. They use snapping as a signal, and after several attempts, the second person correctly guesses "Viola Davis", leading to surprised reactions.
