Neither. As far as anyone can tell, it's not even possible. Maybe tomorrow someone will show some telekinetic ability. Maybe tomorrow pigs will sprout wings. I can't prove it won't happen, but I'm just not holding my breath.

EDIT: It's not hard to hide a thread. Nina Kulagina used the old thread trick. Any magician worth his salt can duplicate it. Hard to believe some modern-day psychic investigators are naive enough to be fooled by an old magician's trick.

Best you do some research on your own unless you prefer to simply believe the kneejerk naysayers or the off-the-top-of-the-head believers. A lot of both post here, along with a few, most likely, who might or mightn't know what they're talking about.

But you've no way of knowing which is which.


The reading list below can act as a source for you. Most of the titles can be found in your local library. If they don't have them they can borrow them from another library.

So you'd like to learn about Metaphysical Experiments You Can Do Yourself.

When Nina Kulgina demonstrated telekinesis (now called psychokinesis or PK in the research literature) in the former Soviet Union all of her vital signs showed extreme rises (high blood volume, pressure, increased pulse rate, etc.) and she died at a relatively young age. So to move even small objects (matches, compasses, needles) seemed very difficult.

While debunkers attempt to dismiss soviet (the former axis of evil) research on her and her demonstrations as magic tricks no magician under observation, with conditions controlled by scientist and KGB style body searches has ever replicated her performances.

I'd say hard. I've been trying to telekinetically ***** slap jerks on TV for years and have had no luck yet! The elections are coming up soon and I'll be working hard at it again.

Hard enough to have a headache from just trying. If it were possible, be sure it wouldn't be easy.

it must be easy - as it is for angels, though for us it is till on fantasy level,
because our balance of material-imaginative is broken

so we're more imagining that we do telekinesis than really doing it. And then if it's succeed, there's a danger of spiritual pride.

Since there is no evidence of TK working then I am comfortable assuming no such thing exists. It appears to live on in the imagination and wishful thinking of millions of people though.

I wish it were possible, but that doesn't convince me it is.

Depends on the person and the amount of raging hormones involved.
