Take the Charlie Charlie Challenge and summon a Mexican demon

Or maybe don't
Over the holiday weekend a new paranormal trend swept Twitter: the #CharlieCharlieChallenge, in which you use two pencils as a sort of makeshift Ouija board in order to speak to a Mexican demon named Charlie.
 
To make the board, draw an X on a sheet of paper to divide it by four. Write "YES" in two opposite corners and "NO" in the other two. Then put the two pencils in the middle, crossed over each other, in a plus sign, balanced so that the middle pencil can spin. 
 
Now ask aloud, "Charlie, Charlie, are you there?" and wait for your reply. Chances are, the top pencil will nudge in one direction or another, simply because of the balance. You can now proceed to ask Charlie questions. 
 
One catch: when you are ready to stop, you can't just quit. You have to ask Charlie if HE is ready. "Charlie, Charlie, can we stop?" If Charlie doesn't say no, then you have to keep playing!
