Hmm, shadowkhas your right about that one. But I will find a video that you can not debunk. :)

I would hardly think that youtube videos would be enough to convince me that the power of the mind can control external forces/objects. It can only control your own body.

So really...No...I would not ever consider it possible. Except via evolution, however, we'd kinda require a need for it and maybe......thousands of years too. :)

Wouldn't this crykokensis technically be the easiest to fake? "I CAN MAKE THE WATER RIPPLE USING MY MIND!" or "I can make it move in a perfectly straight line [aside: through a tube that you can't see]!"

True, the Cyrokinesis is the only one I don't believe. I have not seen any evidence that even shows some one faking it. Aside from someone who melted ice then played it backwards to make it seem he is making liquid into ice.

If you read the comments on those videos, people give pretty compelling explanations. For example, in the one you just posted: heat.
It could be a spoon made out of very flexible materials, and he was rubbing it to heat it up.

I've known that trick since I was little... That part of the spoon bends easy. And he even heats it.

I like his little "Ima pretend punching nothing to make it look like I'm bending without touching coz I r kool"
Especially when telekinesis is movement with the mind...Tha hand motion was required :P

Also, I liked some kid's comment:
I'm not saying that telekinesis is fake but if people were REALLY going to try to prove it, why are they only doing psi wheels or spoon bending "tricks"?

Exactly...Find us a youtube video where they decided to levitate a plasma screen tv or a bus...Or doesn't the mind have that kind of muscle strength? (coz obviously muscles are required :P)

Seriously, though, that video you posted was such an act. The guy doing the Brain-induced spoon bending fit every stereotype we've given the super-smart. It is all a part of his illusion.

Anyway, I don't want to talk about this anymore. My head hurts from making my keyboard type this for me.

Explain to us why he heats the bowl then puts some lotion type stuff on the outside? Why can't he just get someone else to film him and he goes around picking stuff up by just lifting his hands?...

personally, if it doesn't involve something we cannot understand (separate dimensions, etc) then i find it likely to be involved with the electro-magnetic spectrum, and possibly harmonics in it.

For example, electro-magnetic fields can mess with your brain, because your brain communicates with electricity (and chemicals, but we won't go into that). I've read this a while ago, so i don't remember any sources, but i have read about a family that complained of odd happenings/ghost sightings, as if their house were haunted. when investigating the house, it was found that electro-magnetic interference was to blame from something like improperly insulated electrical wires in the house, or possibly overhead power lines... anyways, synapses were having false firings in their brain from the background electro-magnetic energy in/around their house.

After reading wikipedia recently about this (in the EEG article) i used to be sure the brain sent out 'waves' of some sort from it's neurons, but it says i'm wrong. However, I think to myself that if the brain operates with electricity, even if it's very little, then wouldn't it create electro-magnetic fields each time a neuron fires? now, maybe in normal thought our collective neurons don't fire in synchronization, and therefore just generate static, but if these people that claim to be psychic can sync up their neurons somehow, maybe they could use harmonics to increase the strength of the magnetic field their neurons make? just my theory on how it could work in electro-magnetics, but i'm likely wrong. However, I would like to see some very specific EEG research done on someone who claims to be psychic, both in normal circumstances, sleeping, and practicing their telekinetics, or whatever.

I've been trying Pyrokinesis , and reading up on it for the past couple of weeks. I think it's pretty interesting. I set up a little practice area. I got an empty Altoids tin, filled it with regular wax, then stuck a small candle inside. That way if the flame goes out of control I can pour some water on it, or close the tin.

I tried for a couple of hours, I've been trying the dancing flame trick. It may all be in my head, but the flame seems to follow my fingers, even when I move them extremely slow.

I honestly think it's very interesting. Though it may be fake, or impossible. It's fun to try. Plus when you have nothing to do, it's a great.

Exactly. -Venom- has been tutoring me in PSI balls from telekinesis. Its quite fun to try.

I can control fire. First I get this little thing that looks like a chrome tick tack container, and when I open it, it makes flame. Then I get a can of axe and point it at the box and it burns my eyebrows off.

Has anybody heard of Derren Brown?
He can put a plastic bag on his head, stop his hearbeat and walk around on a bed of nails, all at the same time.
I reckon this is the same type of thing, it's either trickery of immense concentration. :roll:

Frankly, I like Derren Brown's things on persuasion and affecting people and how they think more.

Pyrokinesis looks like it's not that hard. No kidding that the flame will follow your fingers if they're close enough...your fingers are making small air currents that move the flame.
Do it from 50 feet away, then I'll be more inclined to believe you.
