Just wondering if anyone out there has actually done it.

It's impossible to know whether there's *anyone* out there who can do it. The unbearable weight of the evidence though suggests that the answer is "no".
Despite thousands of claims by psychics, gurus, and... crazy people... there is no conclusive evidence that this is possible. If it were a real phenomenon, then it would have been demonstrated conclusively by now, don't you think?
There are even open invitations by such skeptics as James Randi who has put up $1 Million for anyone who can demonstrate such psychic abilities under controlled lab conditions. James Randi was formerly known as The Amazing Randi, a magician, and so he's well aware of the many methods used by charlatans to fool people for personal gain. He's also famous for being Uri "the spoon bender" Geller's nemesis. :)
Some people have genuinely fooled themselves into believing they have this sort of ability. Some of them only serve to prove though that "humans only use 10% of their brains". This is a thoroughly disproven myth (for the rest of the population at least). Still, you see this 10% nonsense promoted all over the place... by guess who... psychics, new agers, etc.
Down with Deepak, Dwyer, and the rest!!! :P

Okay.
Listen.
There was a man by the name of Issiac Newton.
Everntually, he discovered that there is some force that acts between two objects, let's call this force, G.
It was discovred experimentally, by a physicist I don't remember, the value for G.
The experiment was basically a rod, suspended by a fishing wire, with a flashlight pointed at the wire, and projected onto a screen with a distance marked out.
When an object was brought to and from the rod, the wire would rotate, cause displacement on the projection screen, amplified by the flashlight.
It's not telekinesis. It's physics.

It's a website I visit often. I'm not going to get into all of it, because I know I'll just be made fun of, but I'll tell you that I have actually moved my psi-wheel (made out of tin foil and a pin, looks like a little pinwheel). I've also done a few other things listed on the site.
I think it's a matter of actually overcoming the boundary of believing, which is incredibly hard to do, much like real meditation. Read a couple articles on the website, there are videos as well for you to look at. Unfortunately it's a big taboo, and I've been subjected to a lot of humiliation for even believing it.
Hope all of that helps.

Sister Margaret has. She went and did it at the beach with a ball of beeswax.

From what I know, telekinesis or psychokinesis has never been demonstrated under laboratory conditions.

No, but I keep trying anyway.
