Here is very basic one, but in my opinion very powerful because it's not only a visual explanation of a concept but also asks for visualising or imagining a real object depicting the concept:
Neophytes sometimes have a hard time understanding very basic concepts like mean, median and mode.
So, for helping them to better grasp the idea of mean: "Take this skewed distribution and do a 3D print of it, in plastic, or carve it in wood, so now you have a real object in your hands. Try to balance it using just one finger... the mean is the only point where you can do that."
