Er, does hypnotic suggestibility have a meaning I'm not aware of?
I don't know how much you know about hypnosis.
You perceive the pink elephant when you ask yourself whether you perceive a pink elephant in a similar way that you will perceive a ticklish feeling in your head.
For the average person the pink elephant effect is stronger but in principle the effect is very similar. High hypnotic suggestibility means that you acutally go and see the elephant clearly and that you feel the suggested tickle.
The process of going into a trance state increases the effect.
