Ersatz telekinesis toys are a trend at this year's Toy Fair. Babble reports on the Star Wars Force Trainer (from toy maker Uncle Milton), an EEG-based toy that enables you to lift a ball on a column of air with your mind. And it makes Star Wars noises at you. Watch the video here.
A similar toy, also unveiled at Toy Fair, is Mattel's Mind Flex. It doesn't make Star Wars noises, but the ball isn't enclosed. There's video of that one here.
If sincerely hope that extensive use of these toys can unlock real telekinesis.
Clearly, the force is strong with Gwynne.

I like this post. I found it useful where you stated:"If sincerely hope that extensive use of these toys can unlock real telekinesis."
I think that, in addition, these toys can be considered instruments of biofeedback.
