Is telekinesis for real? How is it done?

If it's real (and I really don't know that it is) it's a gift and not something you can acquire.\nThe Russian government and the CIA both made experiments with telekinesis during the Cold War. The Russians reported having found 'talented' individuals, that could bend spoons and that sort of stuff. But my understanding is this is the kind of thing you're born with. Of course, there's a good chance it's all flak invented by the Russians to make the CIA nervous.

Psychokinesis (PK) - sometimes referred to as telekinesis or mind over matter - is the ability to move things or otherwise affect the property of things with the power of the mind. Of psychic abilities, true psychokinesis is one of the rarest. Few have been able to demonstrate this ability, and even those demonstrations are highly contested by the skeptics.\n\nStanislawa Tomczyk. Born in Poland, Tomczyk came to the attention of investigators when it was reported that startling poltergeist-like activity occurred spontaneously around her. She could control some telekinetic feats, but only under hypnosis. In this hypnotic state, Tomczyk took on a personality that called itself "Little Stasia" who could levitate small objects when Tomczyk placed her hands on either side of them. In the early 1900s, one investigator, Julien Ochorowicz, watched these levitations at very close range and observed something like fine threads emanating from her palms and fingers, although they were examined carefully before the experiment. And it didn't seem to be a trick. "When the medium separates her hands," Ochorowicz observed, "the thread gets thinner and disappears; it gives the same sensation as a spider's web. If it is cut with scissors, its continuity is immediately restored." In 1910, Tomczyk was tested by a group of scientists at the Physical Laboratory in Warsaw where she produced remarkable physical phenomena under strict test conditions. \n\nNina Kulagina. One of the most celebrated and scrutinized psychics to claim psychokinetic powers was Nina Kulagina, a Russian woman who discovered her abilities while attempting to develop other psychic powers. Reportedly, she has demonstrated her powers by mentally moving a wide range of nonmagnetic objects, including matches, bread, large crystal bowls, clock pendulums, a cigar tube and a salt shaker among other things. Some of these demonstrations have been captured on film. The skeptics contend, of course, that her abilities would not stand up to scientific testing, and that she may be nothing more that a clever magician.\n\nUri Geller. Geller is one of the most well-known "psychics" who has publicly demonstrated feats of psychokinesis: spoon and key bending have become almost synonymous with Geller's name. Although many skeptics and magicians consider his metal-bending performances nothing more than adroit sleight-of-hand, Geller has allegedly shown that he can manifest the effects over great distances and in multiple locations. On a British radio show in 1973, after demonstrating key bending to the astonishment of the host, Geller invited the listening audience to participate. Just minutes later, phone calls began pouring into the radio station from listeners all over the UK reporting that knives, forks, spoons, keys and nails began to bend and twist spontaneously. Watches and clocks that had not run in years began to work. It was an event whose success surprised even Geller and thrust him into the spotlight.\n\nSpirit Online offers this seven-step method of improving your PK: \n\nMeditate daily for half an hour, 15 minutes if your schedule is too busy. \nAttempt PK at least once a day, twice if possible. Give yourself a good 30-60 minutes to try it. \nFocus on one method for at least a week; if it shows no results, switch methods. \nBe at ease; instead of taking it too seriously, think of it as an experiment, a game. If you try too hard you'll just end up frustrating yourself and you'll get nowhere. \nDon't give up. \nDon't tell yourself you can't do it, because you can. \nBELIEVE!

Before any spells will work you have to understand why it is you want this power.  Until you do and in exercising it you will harm no-one, the universe may be keeping it away from you to protect you from yourself.\n\nOnce you are at a level where you are spiritually developed enough to deal with receiving powers such as telekinesis they will manifest on their own.

Yes, it was not done by a magician and it is not what people tend to picture it to be. Some moron does not sit there and wave something in front of your face and tell you that you are getting very sleepy either :D\n\nI was in a nice room and I was asked to lay down and make myself comfortable. I was told to focus on something that was relaxing to me, there were pictures of nature, and there were flowers and nice things like that. WHile I was focusing I was told to breathe in and out slowly and deeply until every limb of my body was relaxed. then I was told to close my eyes and visualize myself to be wherever it is  I wanted to be. I was hypnotized to relieve mental stress. :)\nYou are basically so relaxed and you are filtering the bullcrap out of your mind so that you can tap into your subconcious. It is the coolest thing . The professional slowly talks you back to "reality" and you come out of feeling so calm and relaxed, it is awesome.  You would be amazed out how you can find the solutions to your problems. \n\nEveryone has their opinions of what it is like or how it feels, but I thought it was great.

It may be real but not because of the person's abilities...they would want to think it is, because this would make them look exceptional. however, the actual source of supernatural information only comes from a supernatural source. The sources can either be God, in a prophetic way, or it can be demonic...\n\nusually people who call themselves psychics have taped into the demonic... be careful,, they will lead you on for awhile and then tell you the biggest lie...this is the nature of demonic spirits to deceive people..once they have your trust.\n\nOnly God-via godly people- can tell you things without deception...and will tell the truth 100% of the time.....if you care about yourself, you will trust God , and not the psychics, so you will not get hurt...most psychics are lousey, anyhow, and just want your money

Magicians who levitate are just creating an illusion. No one can really levitate without the help of a contraption.\nAlthough, there is something called black magic which is very real and people who use it do more than just levitate. It is an evil thing and I wouldn't under any circumstance ask you to try. Every evil has consequences.

telekinesis, because if you can move objects, you can most likely move yourself with no problem and thus make yourself fly.

There are two ways that Criss Angel could levitate. \n1. He uses a winch, and everything that looks spontaneous is actually staged. \n2. He is practicing a very advanced form of yoga.

first of all magic IS REAL. for instant gradification you would have to be very into this and even then there is no RIGHT NOW spells.  all spells take time to work some even years but i have worked many spells with out the aid of insence, herbs, candles and so on they just help make a spell stronger.  for ANY spell to work though you MUST BELIEVE. if your just wanting to see it work it won't.  spell casting is very involved magic circle and cleansing and meditaion.

Yes, it is real. Yes, it can be dangerous. More people are better. 2 is the minimum. NEVER do it by yourself. There is no scientific explanation. \n\nThere are several websites which outline the correct method for using the "Talking Board." Many people consider it nothing but evil. This is not true. It DOES however, attract negative energy. So you must always ask for only those spirits of a positive nature to speak through the board. Here are some links that will be of help in deciding if you really want to do this. Best of luck.\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Boardwalk/5335/menu.html\n\nhttp://www.ghosts.org/ouija.html\n\nhttp://www.paganpath.com/cgi-bin/wit/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=28;t=335\n\nhttp://www.crystalinks.com/ouija.html\n\nhttp://www.fortunecity.com/roswell/barada/309/ouija.html#\n\nhttp://paranormal.about.com/cs/ouijaboards/ht/use_ouija.htm

In June 2002 the Ph.D. project of Dr. Warwick Bowen led by Dr. Ping Koy Lam, Prof. Hans Bachor and Dr. Timothy Ralph of the Australian National University achieved (quantum) teleportation of a laser beam. [2]\n\nIt was a successful quantum teleportation experiment involving the use of 'entangled' photons. A target photon was successfully 'scanned', its properties 'copied' onto a transition photon, and finally the photon was recreated at another location of arbitrary distance, proving in essence the theorems proposed by Einstein to explain his 'strange action at a distance'.\n\nScientists teleported atoms in 2004.

I think it is. When I saw him flying from building to building, that did it for me. Either he is a helluva magician or the camera effects are awesome. In any event, I think it's fake...

How can one Learn Telekinesis?\n\nMoving objects with the power of one's energy is called telekinesis. The American Heritage Dictionary defines it as follows:\n\n"tel·e·ki·ne·sis (tµl"¹-k¹-n¶"s¹s, -kº-) n. The movement of objects by scientifically inexplicable means, as by the exercise of an occult power."\n\nI believe that this can be done, all is energy, although so far I have not felt any ambition to develop this skill.\n\nHowever, in the book Rainbows of Life by Mikol Davis and Earle Lane, on page 43, one can see two Tesla-Kirlian images: the energy field of Uri Geller's fingertip and the energy field of a wristwatch obviously having a band with metal closure.\n\nThe first picture shows the fingertip at rest and the watch at a distance of a few inches from the fingertip.\n\nThe second picture shows a "cannon ball" of energy with an energy trail toward the watch coming out of the fingertip, when Uri Geller was concentrating on shooting out energy toward the watch. The metal closure was moved and is clearly visible as energy field in a different position than shown in the first image.\n\nMy experience with developing spiritual/energy skills is that when we believe 100% that we can do it, we can! Any doubt will hold us back. There is no effort, it is just a light thought that we can.\n\nYou may want to train your ability to focus and believe 100% that you can do it. You may want to practice every day for a few minutes, with light weight objects you want to move, until you can. It may take an hour, a week, a year, or "forever," depending on your 100% believe that you can do it. You can.\n\nYou may look for healing phenomena in books on Tesla-Kirlian photography. It is an amazing subject!\n\nHappy practice!\nCordially, India.Magica

No proof of telepathy exists to date, as well as no proof of "gifted" people in doing whatever paranormal task.\nThis is not my personal opinion, it's a fact: the James Randi Educational Foundation is offering a prize of one million dollars (see reference) to anybody who is able to show any kind of paranormal ability. But nobody has ever retired the prize. Isn't this the best demonstration that all paranormal claims are false?\n\nLater addition about the 10% brain usage: this is a question that has been posed and answered many times in Yahoo!Answers. Again: there is *no evidence* that we use only 10% of our brains, this is a myth without scientific grounds, originated from a misquote of Albert Einstein or a misinterpretation of Pierre Flourens in the 1800s. See reference for more details.

If you want to know how he levitates my friend is really in to magic and he can levitate. He wont tell me how he does it but he does come a few feet off the ground. his girlfriend told me it was something he bought at a magic store and it was expensive all I know is that it is something that they put in there pants to make them come off the ground. Go to a store that sells magic stuff and you can do it o if you want to spend the money that is.

Considering telekinesis is a load of hooey, I don't think it matters. You would be getting ripped off with some fake plastic helmet adorned with a hypno-disk.
