and it really did work. Maybe its all because of editing that everytime they use it, they finish the task but who knows.

That right there is what we call the placebo effect, mixed in with a healthy dose of confirmation bias.
Basically, because they *think* it is going to help them, the spray does help them relax, and being relaxed in turn helps them with making decisions and doing mental puzzles.
Confirmation bias is something that effects all people. The human brain is naturally wired to suppress data we find unfavorable, so anyone who falls on the side of believing the Aura Spray (TM) works will remember all the times it has, and those who believe it does not work will remember all the times it did not.
In short, we are more likely to remember things that fit in with what we want to believe.
