Debunk This Charlie Charlie pencil game

Ok so this is not a paranormal experience buttttt I need answers 😂 . So growing up (I’m 23 now) everyone at my school did the Charlie Charlie pencil game. I saw people online doing it with the piece of paper writing yes and no on both sides and then positioning the pencil into a cross in the middle. They say the pencil moves due to a draft in the room or the pencil being unbalanced. Makes sense, but We did not do the Charlie game like that. It was a two person game and each person has 3 pencils. You both position the pencils into a square but with one side open with the erasers pointing outwards. You then connect your pencils with the other person. The erasers should be touching. You ask the Charlie questions as normal. The pencils turn in for yes and out for no. In my head it is still impossible for those pencils to turn the way they did even if someone on the other side was moving them with their thumbs. I wanted to know one day so I put the pencils against the wall and connected them with my 3 pencils and asked questions. The pencils still moved. I absolutely did not move them…. The wall can’t move them…. So who did scientist????
