Double slit experiment. There's a lot out there detailing what happens but relatively few explanations go into why observing the state of a photon results in it "choosing" one slit over the other. I suspect many come away with the impression that it's magic despite there being a reasonably simple explanation for what's going on.

This video explains the double slit experiment using probabilities and it's the only one that made sense to me without bringing in quantum mystery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyN27R7UDnI&feature=share

It also goes on to explain the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment but I don't think that's quite convincing.
