Psychokinesis is a term that was coined in 1914 by American author-publisher Henry Holt in his book On the Cosmic Relations and was adopted by his friend, American parapsychologist J. B. Rhine in 1934 in connection with experiments Rhine was conducting at Duke University. PK, as it is often abbreviated, is the purported ability to move or influence matter with the mind by means outside the known laws of physics. It is believed to be the most powerful of all of the psychic powers. Nearly every magician or mentalist carries a Sharpie around with them so spectators and audience members can sign cards, billets, and other items during a presentation. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to have a spectator sign something, take the pen back from them, and create the illusion that you can move the pen with nothing more than concentrated effort? There's no more need for invisible thread and your hands stay in plain view the whole time!
