I tried it and I felt this tingleling in my hands. Then I tried to push my hands together and I felt like something was in the way. So I believe Toru, because I believe in ESP, telekinsis, levitation, anything that really doesn't make sense I believe in. I can't explain why though so don't ask.

Raansu: Thank you for your feedback but hold on. Since when, does the mind change over years? People come and go but we still have the same mind. I know in the future, more things will be invented but, only because we STUDIED, not because people get smarter in the future. If you say "Oh yah? Well in the past we were dumb." A.) We were Australopithecus Afarensis and they have 1 third the size of our brain. If you question this and say what if we get bigger brains in the future? I am sorry to admit we have reached our maturity. B.) Humans even when they weren't fully evolved, Homo Neanderthalis and Homo Erectus were both very smart people. They learned to adapt and do many other things. If you are further interested see, Sumerians.
Makoto: I am sorry to disagree with you for there is a college on Telekenesis, the study of Telekenesis, and the art of Telekenesis. Heartsong. If you don't agree, I won't try to pursued you but, keep in mind, many have tried, and succeeded. Search on Wikipedia.

Toru? There's a "study" of ghosts too, and they have just as little credibility of your "college" on telekinesis. Why? Because as of yet, the existance of a human soul or spirit has yet to be proven by science. Religion obviously claims it exists, but it has yet to be proven to exist. And until that happens, it's impossible to say ghosts are real too (since they are trapped spirits of course!).
As for saying it must be real because there's an entire college on it; that alone makes me wary. For one, why a college would exist for ONE subject. If it's strictly an online "college," that alone means even less credibility. Plus, just because a college exists for something does NOT mean it must be real. Hell, if a person had enough money to throw around, they could create a college for studying life on the SUN. Does that immediately mean there's life up there? No.
As for people who've tried it and it worked, think about it: the human mind is an amazing thing. If you try something new, and you *want* it to work; a majority of the time it WILL. That's why placebos actually have a success rate. That's also why most of the stage hypnosis is possible. The hypnotist makes his living making people do things that are *supposedly* impossible, or just plain stupid. However, you can do the exact same thing *without* hypnosis, but it's just uncomfortable. If you go into something believing it will work; it usually will.
However, you should probably also address the failure rates of this sort of thing. Like how a man who was supposedly one of the most powerful psychics in post-Soviet Russia (and creditted with telekinetic capabilities), decided that he'd try to stop a train and LOST. The train didn't even slow down (he also received a Darwin Award, in the third volume of the book).

I see your reasoning. Thank you for your output. But I would like to ask you to stop posting in this thread due to this thread is for people who want to try it, and believe it. Feel free to vote in the poll.
